Two light waves are initially in phase and have the same wavelength, 470 nm. They enter two different media of identical lengths

of 2.50 µm. If n1 = 1.2 and n2 = 1.5, what is the effective phase difference of the waves when they exit the media? Group of answer choices 3.7 rad 10 rad 1.6 rad 0.6 rad 0 rad

Answer:

= 3.7 radians = effective phase difference

Explanation:

Wavelength given =\lambda= 470 nm

n1 = 1.2 and n2 = 1.5

The light rays are traveling at different speeds inside the 2 different layers.

So effective optical path is given by  n d

where n is the refractive index of the medium and

d is the length traveled by the light ray in the medium.

The path difference introduced because of 2 different medium is

length = distance traveled by the wave = d = 2.5 x 10^-6 m

Phase difference =2 \pi / \lambda * path difference

path difference = (n₂ - n₁ ) d

= (1.5 - 1.2) (2.5 x 10⁻⁶)

= 7.5 x 10⁻⁷ m

phase difference = 2 pi / (470 x 10⁻⁹) * (7.5 x 10⁻⁷) = 10 rad

2 pi radians is 360 degrees

10 radians = 573 degrees

Phase difference = 573 - 360 = 212 degrees

= 3.7 radians = effective phase difference

An undamped spring-mass system contains a mass that weighs and a spring with spring constant . It is suddenly set in motion at b
balandron [24]

Answer:

Explanation:

When all other forces acting on the mass in a damped mass-spring system are grouped together into one term denoted by F(t), the differential equation describing

motion is

Mx''+ βx' + kx = F(t).

Note for an undamped system

β=0,

Then, the differential equation becomes

Mx'' + kx = F(t).

The force is in the form

F=Fo•Sinωo•t

Let solved for the homogeneous or complementary solution, I.e f(t) = 0

Using D operator

MD² + k = 0

MD²=-k

D²=-k/M

Then, D= ±√(-k/m)

D=±√(k/m) •i

So we have a complex root

Therefore, the solution is

x= C1•Cos[√(k/m)t] + C2•Sin[√(k/m)]

This is simple harmonic motion that once again we prefer to write in the form

x(t) = A•Sin[ √(k/M)t + φ]

Where A=√(C1²+C2²)

and angle φ is defined by the equations

sin φ = C1/A and cos φ = C2/A.

Quantity √(k/M), often denoted by ω, is called the angular frequency.

This is called the natural frequency (ωn) of the system

ωn=√(k/M)

ωn²= k/M

Now, for particular solution

Xp=DSinωo•t

Xp' = Dωo•Cosωo•t

Xp"=-Dωo²•Sinωo•t

Now substituting this into

Mx'' + kx = F(t).

M(-Dωo²•Sinωo•t) + k(DSinωo•t)=FoSinωo•t

Now, let solve for D

D(-Mωo²•Sinωo•t +kSinωo•t) = FoSinωo•t

D=Fo•Sinωo•t/(-Mωo²•Sinωo•t +kSinωo•t)

D=Fo•Sinωo•t / Sinωo•t(-Mωo²+k)

D=Fo / (-Mωo²+k)

D=Fo / (k-Mωo²)

Divide through by k

D=Fo/k ÷ (1 -Mωo²/k)

Note from above

ωn²= k/M

Therefore,

D=Fo/k ÷ (1-ωo²/ωn²)

D=Fo/k ÷ [1-(ωo/ωn)²]

Then,

Xp=DSinωo•t

Xp=(Fo/k ÷ [1-(ωo/ωn)²]) Sinωo•t

Then the general solution is the sum of the homogeneous solution and particular solution

Xg(t)=(Fo/k ÷ [1-(ωo/ωn)²]) Sinωo•t + A•Sin[ √(k/M)t + φ]

Check attachment for the graph of homogeneous, particular and general solution.

Also, check for better way of writing the equations.

katrin2010 [14]
The time component is needed. The acceleration is the change of velocity divided by the time in when this change of velocity happens.
