Given :

A microscope using ultraviolet light is used to study bacteria. If the aperture diameter is 1.5 cm.

Angular size is 0.036 arc seconds.

To Find :

The maximum wavelength that can be used.

Solution :

Converting given angle into radians :

\theta = \dfrac{0.036}{3600}\times \dfrac{\pi}{180}\\\\\theta = 1.745\times 10^{-7}\ radians

Now, we know maximum wavelength is given by :

\lambda = \dfrac{\theta \times D}{1.22}\\\\\lambda = \dfrac{1.745\times 10^{-7} \times 0.015}{1.22}\ m\\\\\lambda =2.145 \times 10^{-7}\ m

Hence, this is the required solution.

Does the mass of a pendulum affects the period of oscillation
pshichka [43]
Mass does not affect the pendulum's swing. The longer the length of string, the farther the pendulum falls; and therefore, the longer the period, or back and forth swing of the pendulum. The greater the amplitude, or angle, the farther the pendulum falls; and therefore, the longer the period.

A rope passes over a fixed sheave with both ends hanging straight down. The coefficient of friction between the rope and sheave
Oliga [24]

Answer:3.51

Explanation:

Given

Coefficient of Friction \mu =0.4

Consider a small element at an angle \theta having an angle of d\theta

Normal Force=T\times \frac{d\theta }{2}+(T+dT)\cdot \frac{d\theta }{2}

N=T\cdot d\theta

Friction f=\mu \times Normal\ Reaction

f=\mu \cdot N

and T+dT-T=f=\mu Td\theta

dT=\mu Td\theta

\frac{dT}{T}=\mu d\theta

\int_{T_2}^{T_1}\frac{dT}{T}=\int_{0}^{\pi }\mu d\theta

\frac{T_2}{T_1}=e^{\mu \pi}

\frac{T_2}{T_1}=e^{0.4\times \pi }

\frac{T_2}{T_1}==e^{1.256}

\frac{T_2}{T_1}=3.51
