Design at least two independent experiments to determine the wavelength of a microwave source. You have a microwave source, micr

owave detector, a barrier with different regions, and a goniometer to measure angles. (To avoid over-ranging the detector, please use the largest meter multiplier setting that allows you to see what you’re doing. Nevertheless, if you are seeing nothing at any angle, do go to a smaller multiplier.) One of your experiments should involve setting up a standing wave.
One of your experiments should involve Include the following in your report:

a. Design experiments to solve the problem and discuss how you will use the available equipment to make measurements.
b. Describe the mathematical procedures you will use.
c. List the assumptions are you making. Explain how each could affect the outcome.
d. What are the sources of experimental uncertainty? How could you minimize the uncertainties?

Answer:

The Double Slits Experiment and Michelson Interferometer

The questions will be answered for the double slits experiment.

(b) Mathematically, the double slits experiment equation can be given as: d sin 0 = m(Wavelength). d is the separation distance, 0 is the diffraction angle, m = 1,2,3,...

(c) assumptions

The width of the slits is lesser than the microwave's wavelength. This is to set up a standing wave between the microwave source and detector.

m is an positive integer. To obtain a constructive interference of the E-M wave(microwave)

(d) The uncertainties are:

(i)The zero error in the reading of the multiplier will disrupt the value of the wavelength by small percentage. This can be adjusted to obtain more accurate result.

(ii) The angle as obtained by the gionometer can not be measured to highest level of accuracy, as there are some approximations. High sensitive equipment should be used to obtain accurate result

Explanation:

Double Slits Experiment.

The double slits is a pair of 2cm wide slits with a 6cm separation, cut in a metal foil, with the double slits at the centre of turnable with the microwave source and microwave detector through the slits. The shunt on the microammeter is adjusted to

so that a large scale deflection is obtained. The interference pattern may then be explored by moving the receiver arm, whilst keeping the transmitter arm fixed. A graph of intensity (current) versus θ(Measured through the gionometer) should be plotted, and an estimate made of the microwave wavelength by measuring the angular separation of adjacent maxima in the interference pattern and the separation of the two slits.

Michelson Interferometer

Setting up the interferometer, the mirrors are metal sheets and the beamsplitter is a hardboard sheet. The metal sheets should be carefully positioned to be perpendicular to the microwave beam, and the beamsplitter positioned at the centre of the turntable and at 45° to the beam. Any slight change in the path length of either of the beams leaving the beamsplitter changes the interference pattern at the receiver. One of the metal sheets is mounted in a frame which slides along rails. If this sheet is slowly moved, maxima and minima of current will be recorded by the receiver and a plot of “intensity” against distance can be made. The distance between successive maxima (or minima) is one half of the microwave wavelength which can thus be measured.

Please help.. urgent Which statement is equivalent to Newton's first law? a. 15,300 N b. 1.20*10^3 N c. 2,030 N d. 1,560 N
taurus [48]
According to Newton laws of motion, 
F = m*a
Here, m = 1,560 Kg
a = 1.30 m/s²

Substitute their values, 
F = 1,560 * 1.30
F = 2028 N ~ 2030 N  [ Closest value ]

In short, Your Answer would be Option C

Hope this helps!

Real world situation to explain the relationship between work and power
In-s [12.5K]
-- You and your partner both get the same job to do:

Each of you gets a pallet of bricks, and you have to
put the bricks up on the bed of a truck, by hand.
Both pallets have the same number of bricks.

The pallet is way too heavy to lift, so you both cut the bands
that hold the bricks, and you lift the bricks from the pallet onto
the truck, by hand, two or three or four bricks at a time.

-- You get your pallet of bricks onto the truck in 45 minutes.

-- Your partner gets his pallet of bricks onto the truck in 3 days.

-- Work = (force) times (distance).

    You and your partner both lifted the same amount of weight
     up to the same height.  You both did the same amount of work.

-- Power = (work done) divided by (time it takes to do the work) .

  
Your partner took roughly 96 times as long as you took
   to do the same amount of work. 
   You did it faster.  He did it slower.
   You produced more power.  He produced less power.

Diffusion of particles through protein channels is called
mamaluj [8]

Answer:

Facilitated diffusion.

Explanation:

Facilitated diffusion is the movement of molecules across a biological cell membrane by the use of a membrane protein.

It is a spontaneous passive movement and it can also be reffered to as FACILITATED TRANSPORT or PASSIVE-MEDIATED TRANSPORT.
