Complete Question
A wave is described by y(x,t) = 0.1 sin(3x + 10t), where x is in meters, y is in centimetres and t is in seconds. The angular wave frequency is
Answer:
The value is
Explanation:
From the question we are told that
The equation describing the wave is y(x,t) = 0.1 sin(3x + 10t)
Generally the sinusoidal equation representing the motion of a wave is mathematically represented as
Where w is the angular frequency
Now comparing this equation with that given we see that
Answer:
f = 12 cm
Explanation:
<u>Center of Curvature</u>:
The center of that hollow sphere, whose part is the spherical mirror, is known as the ‘Center of Curvature’ of mirror.
<u>The Radius of Curvature</u>:
The radius of that hollow sphere, whose part is the spherical mirror, is known as the ‘Radius of Curvature’ of mirror. It is the distance from pole to the center of curvature.
<u>Focal Length</u>:
The distance between principal focus and pole is called ‘Focal Length’. It is denoted by ‘F’.
The focal length of the spherical (concave) mirror is approximately equal to half of the radius of curvature:
where,
f = focal length = ?
R = Radius of curvature = 24 cm
Therefore,
<u>f = 12 cm</u>
