Chapter 19 · The displacement from equilibrium caused by a wave on a string is given by y(x, t) = (−0.00185 m)sin[(42.8 m−1)x − (744 s−1)t]. For this wave, what are the following? (a) amplitude? (b) number of waves in 1 m? (c) number of complete cycles in 1 s? (d) wavelength? (e) speed? Ans:- 0.00185 m, 6.81 […]
Name: NAAP – Blackbody Curves & UBV Filters 1/7 Lab – Blackbody Curves & UBV Filters Background Material Thoroughly review the “Spectra” and “Filters” background pages. The color index page may also be helpful to review. Here the links: http://astro.unl.edu/naap/blackbody/spectra.html http://astro.unl.edu/naap/blackbody/filters.html Filters Simulator Overview The filters simulator allows one to observe light from various sources […]
temple university physics Mapping the Electrostatic Potential and Electric Field The objective of this experiment is to study the potentials, equipotential curves and electric fields produced by various two-dimensional electrostatic charge distributions. In practice, direct measurement of the electric field turns out to be quite difficult. Instead, we exploit the fact that the electric force […]
Answer the following problems. 1. Pistons are fitted to two cylindrical chambers connected through a horizontal tube to form a hydraulic system. The piston chambers and the connecting tube are filled with an incompressible fluid. The cross-sectional areas of piston 1 and piston 2 are A1 and A2, respectively. A force F1 is exerted on piston 1. Rank […]
