Could an experiment similar to young's two-slit experiment be performed with sound? how might this be carried out? does it matte
r that sound waves are longitudinal and electromagnetic waves are transverse? explain.
1 answer:
Young's double slit experiment(YDSE) can be used for any kind of waves such as electromagnetic waves, sound waves, water waves, gravity waves. YDSE is based on interference. In this experiment, we make two waves interfere in order to obtain bright and dark fringes on the screen(in case of light).
You can carry this out with water, would be great if you try this at pond or water reservoir in order to see perfect ripples.

Answer:
a_total = 2 √ (α² + w⁴) , a_total = 2,236 m
Explanation:
The total acceleration of a body, if we use the Pythagorean theorem is
a_total² = a_T²2 + ²
where
the centripetal acceleration is
a_{c} = v² / r = w r²
tangential acceleration
a_T = dv / dt
angular and linear acceleration are related
a_T = α r
we substitute in the first equation
a_total = √ [(α r)² + (w r² )²]
a_total = 2 √ (α² + w⁴)
Let's find the angular velocity for t = 2 s if we start from rest wo = 0
w = w₀ + α t
w = 0 + 1.0 2
w = 2.0rad / s
we substitute
a_total = r √(1² + 2²) = r √5
a_total = r 2,236
In order to finish the calculation we need the radius to point A, suppose that this point is at a distance of r = 1 m
a_total = 2,236 m
