Answer:
When a light wave goes through a slit, it is diffracted, which means the slit opening acts as a new source of waves. How much a light wave diffracts<em> (how much it fans out)</em> depends on the wavelength of the incident light. The wavelength must be larger than the width of the slit for the maximum diffraction. Thus, for a given slit, red light, because it has a longer wavelength, diffracts more than the blue light.
The corresponding relation for diffraction is
,
where is the wavelength of light,
is the slit width, and
is the diffraction angle.
From this relation we clearly see that the diffraction angle is directly proportional to the wavelength
of light—longer the wavelength larger the diffraction angle.
Refer to the diagram shown.
When the student climbs onto the platform, the spring stretches by 0.82 m to reach the equilibrium position.
The mass of the student is m = 90 kg, so his weight is
mg = (90 kg)*(9.8 m/s²) = 882 N
By definition, the spring constant is
k = (882 N)/(0.82 m) = 1075.6 N/m
When the spring is stretched by x from the equilibrium position, the restoring force is
F = - k*x.
If damping is ignored, the equation of motion is
F = m * acceleration
or
Define ω² = k/m = 11.751 => ω = 3.457.
Then the solution of the ODE is
x(t) = c₁ cos(ωt) + c₂ sin(ωt)
x'(t) = -c₁ω sin(ωwt) + c₂ω cos(ωt)
When t=0, x' =0, therefore c₂ = 0
The solution is of the form
x(t) = c₁ cos(ωt)
When t = 0, x = 0.32 m. Therefore c₁ = 0.32
The motion is
x(t) = 0.32 cos(3.457t)
The single amplitude is 0.32 m, and the double amplitude is 0.64 m.
Answer:
0.32 m (single amplitude), or
0.64 m (double amplitude)

Answer:
<u>FALSE.</u>
Explanation:
Newton's third law states that :
- <em>Every action has equal and opposite reaction</em>
- <em>That is , the magnitude is the same but the directions are opposite</em>
- <em>The action reaction forces DONOT operate on the same body.</em>
For example ,
If a block is kept on the ground , the action force is the normal force acting on it due to the ground. <em>BUT , NOTE THAT : the reaction force isn't the gravitational force on the body ! It is the normal force acting on the ground due to the block !</em>
Thus,
we conclude that action and reaction forces donot act on the same body and therefore , this case has the <u>answer : FALSE </u>
