A naval engineer is testing an nonreflective coating for submarines that would help them avoid detection by producing destructiv

e interference for sonar waves that have a frequency of 512 Hz and travel at 1390 m/s. If there is a phase change for waves reflected from both the top and bottom surfaces of the coating, what is the minimum thickness of the coating? For sonar waves let nwater=1.00 and ncoating=13.5. Express your answer to three significant figures and include appropriate units.

Answer:

5 cm .

Explanation:

Wave length of sonar waves λ = 1390 / 512

= 2.715 m

For waves getting reflected from both layers of the coating ,  undergoing phase reversal , net change will be zero .

For destructive interference

path diff = ( 2n+1) λ / 2

2μt =  ( 2n+1) λ / 2

2 x 13.5 x t =  ( 2n+1) λ / 2

for minimum thickness

n = 0

2 x 13.5 x t = λ / 2

2 x 13.5 x t =  λ / 2

t = λ / (2 x 27)

= 2.715 / 2 x 27

= .05 m

Answer:

C)T

Explanation:

The period of a mass-spring system is:

T=2\pi\sqrt\frac{m}{k}

As can be seen, the period of this simple harmonic motion, does not depend at all on the gravitational acceleration (g), neither the mass nor the spring constant depends on this value.
