Using the information from Paul Hewitt's Conceptual Development Practice Page 25-1 and the image below, answer the following que

stion.Image of a wave with two rulers, one vertical and one horizontal, measuring the wave is shown. The wave's first crest aligns from 0 to just less than 4 centimeters on the horizontal ruler and rises from the equilibrium located at 5 centimeters to just before 3 centimeters. The wave's first trough aligns continues to just less than 8 centimeters on the horizontal ruler and goes down from the equilibrium located at 5 centimeters to just before 7 centimeters.What was the measurement of the wavelength and amplitude respectively?

Answer:

A = 2 cm ,   λ = 8 cm

Explanation:

The amplitude of a wave is the maximum height it has, in this case the height is measured by the vertical ruler,

We are told the balance point is in the reading of 5 cm, that the maximum reading is 3 cm and the Minimum reading is 7 cm. Therefore, the distance from the ends of the ridge to the point of equilibrium is

          d = 7-5 = 2 cm

          d = 5-3 = 2 cm

          A = 2 cm

The wavelength is the minimum horizontal distance for which the wave is repeated, that is measured by the horizontal ruler.

The initial reading for 4 cm and the final reading for 8 cm, this distance corresponds to a crest of the wave, the complete wave is formed by two crests whereby the wavelength is twice this value

          Δx = 8-4 = 4 cm

          λ = 2 Δx

          λ = 8 cm

Define bond length using your own words​
Brut [27]

Answer:

the free encyclopedia. In molecular geometry, bond length or bond distance is defined as the average distance between nuclei of two bonded atoms in a molecule. It is a transferable property of a bond between atoms of fixed types, relatively independent of the rest of the molecule.

If wave A has twice the amplitude and three times the frequency as wave B, then the energy carried by wave A must be ____ times
soldier1979 [14.2K]

Answer:

4 times

Explanation:

As we know that the energy of a wave is directly proportional to the square of the amplitude of the wave,

Here, the amplitude of the wave A is twice as compared to B.

So, the energy of wave A is 4 times the energy of wave B.

A technician wishes to determine the wavelength of the light in a laser beam. To do so, she directs the beam toward a partition
Nana76 [90]

Answer:

λ = 5.656 x 10⁻⁷ m = 565.6 nm

Explanation:

Using the formula of fringe spacing from the Young's Double Slit experiment, which is given as follows:

\Delta x = \frac{\lambda L}{d}\\\\\lambda = \frac{\Delta x\ d}{L}

where,

λ = wavelength = ?

Δx = fringe spacing = 1.6 cm = 0.016 m

L = Distance between slits and screen = 4.95 m

d = slit separation = 0.175 mm = 0.000175 m

Therefore,

\lambda = \frac{(0.016\ m)(0.000175\ m)}{4.95\ m}\\\\

<u>λ = 5.656 x 10⁻⁷ m = 565.6 nm</u>
