A swimming duck paddles the water with its feet once per time interval of 2.0 s, producing surface waves with this period. The d
uck is moving at constant speed in a pond where the speed of surface waves is 0.30 m/s, and the crests of the waves ahead of the duck have a spacing of 0.20 m.
1 answer:
Answer:
Part A: What is the duck's speed? v=0.2m/s
Part B: How far apart are the crests behind the duck = 1m
Explanation:
The concept applied here is the DOPPLER EFFECT, for example, if one is driving towards a station at 120km/hr, a higher frequency will be heard. and if you are driving away from the station at the same speed, one will hear a much more lower frequency. Tthese effect was proposed by the Austrian physicist by name Johann Christian doppler.
The detailed steps and appropriate formula is as shown in the attached file.

Answer:
The minimum value of width for first minima is λ
The minimum value of width for 50 minima is 50λ
The minimum value of width for 1000 minima is 1000λ
Explanation:
Given that,
Wavelength = λ
For D to be small,
We need to calculate the minimum width
Using formula of minimum width
Where, D = width of slit
= wavelength
Put the value into the formula
Here, should be maximum.
So. maximum value of is 1
Put the value into the formula
(b). If the minimum number is 50
Then, the width is
(c). If the minimum number is 1000
Then, the width is
Hence, The minimum value of width for first minima is λ
The minimum value of width for 50 minima is 50λ
The minimum value of width for 1000 minima is 1000λ
