Answer:

A telescope's angular resolution.

Explanation:

Diffraction limit is a minimum angular separation of two sources and it can be distinguished by the telescope. This angle is known as the diffraction limit. It is proportional to the wavelength of light and it has an inverse relation with the diameter of the telescope. Mathematically  it is defined as

θ = 1.22λ/d

where θ is the angle, λ wavelength and d is the diameter of the objective mirror (lenz).

When a sinusoidal wave with speed 20 m/s , wavelength 35 cm and amplitude of 1.0 cm passes, what is the maximum speed of a point
vova2212 [387]

To solve this problem it is necessary to apply the concepts related to frequency as a function of speed and wavelength as well as the kinematic equations of simple harmonic motion

From the definition we know that the frequency can be expressed as

f = \frac{v}{\lambda}

Where,

v = Velocity \rightarrow 20m/s

\lambda = Wavelength \rightarrow 35*10^{-2}m

Therefore the frequency would be given as

f = \frac{20}{35*10^{-2}}

f = 57.14Hz

The frequency is directly proportional to the angular velocity therefore

\omega = 2\pi f

\omega = 2\pi *57.14

\omega = 359.03rad/s

Now the maximum speed from the simple harmonic movement is given by

V_{max} = A\omega

Where

A = Amplitude

Then replacing,

V_{max} = (1*10^{-2})(359.03)

V_{max} = 3.59m/s

Therefore the maximum speed of a point on the string is 3.59m/s

A 15 g turntable is covered with a uniform layer of dry ice that has a mass of 9.0 g. The angular speed of the turntable and dry
pychu [463]

Answer:

1.2 rad/s

Explanation:

m1 = 15 g, m2 = 9 g, ω1 = 0.75 rad/s

Let the new angular speed is ω2 and the radius of the table be r.

The angular momentum is conserved when no external torque is applied.

I1 ω1 = I2 ω2

(m1 + m2)x r^2 x 0.75 = m1 x r^2 x ω2

(15 + 9) x 0.75 = 15 x ω2

ω2 = 1.2 rad/s
