Answer:

period

Explanation:

A wave takes 0.5 seconds to complete one cycle. It is called the time period of the wave. It is the time taken by the wave to complete one cycle.

The relation between the time period and the frequency is given by :

T = 1/f

Where

f is frequency of the wave

Hence, the correct option is (a) "period".

Fofino [41]

Answer:

(a) Wavelength is 0.436 m

(b) Length is 0.872 m

(c) 11.518 m/s

Solution:

As per the question:

The eqn of the displacement is given by:

y(x, t) = (1.22 cm)sin[14.4 m^{- 1}x]cos[(166\ rad/s)t]          (1)

n = 4

Now,

We know the standard eqn is given by:

y = AsinKxcos\omega t           (2)

Now, on comparing eqn (1) and (2):

A = 1.22 cm

K = 14.4 m^{- 1}

\omega = 166\ rad/s

where

A = Amplitude

K = Propagation constant

\omega = angular velocity

Now, to calculate the string's wavelength,

(a) K = \frac{2\pi}{\lambda}

where

K = propagation vector

\lambda = \frac{2\pi}{K}

\lambda = \frac{2\pi}{14.4} = 0.436\ m

(b) The length of the string is given by:

l = \frac{n\lambda}{2}

l = \frac{4\times 0.436}{2} = 0.872\ m

(c)  Now, we first find the frequency of the wave:

\omega = 2\pi f

f = \frac{\omega}{2\pi}

f = \frac{2\pi}{166} = 26.42\ Hz

Now,

Speed of the wave is given by:

v = f\lambda

v = 26.419\times 0.436 = 11.518\ m/s

A 17-mm-wide diffraction grating has rulings of 530 lines per millimeter. White light is incident normally on the grating. What
Sedbober [7]

Answer:

377 nm

Explanation:

Number of lines per meter is, N &=530 \times 1000 \\ &=530000 \text { lines } / \mathrm{m} \end{aligned}

Grating element is, d=\frac{1}{N}

=1.8868 \times 10^{-6} \mathrm{~m}[tex]
Order is, n=5
Condition for maximum intensity is, [tex]d \sin \theta=n \lambda

 \lambda &=\frac{1.8868 \times 10^{-6}}{5(\sin 90)} \\
&=0.377 \times 10^{-6} \mathrm{~m} \\
&=377 \mathrm{~nm}
