Distinction Between Constructive and Destructive Interference
Constructive interference occurs when two or more overlapping waves combine to create a resultant wave of greater amplitude, occurring when the waves are in phase (Tipler & Mosca, 2015). In contrast, destructive interference happens when waves are out of phase, resulting in a wave of reduced amplitude or even complete cancellation (Young & Freedman, 2014). The phenomenon of constructive and destructive interference fundamentally explains various wave behaviors, including resonance in musical instruments and the formation of patterns in physical systems (Halliday et al., 2018).
Characteristics of Surface Waves
Surface waves exhibit both longitudinal and transverse characteristics; they move up and down (transverse) while simultaneously traveling in a direction (longitudinal) (Hewitt, 2017). This behavior can be observed in water waves, where the surface of the water moves in a circular motion, causing particles to exhibit both types of movements (Lindgren, 2016). Such combined motion enables surface waves to efficiently transmit energy over distances without the bulk movement of the medium itself (Davis & Trefry, 2019).
Period of Wave Motion
To find the period of the wave motion, we can use the wave equation:
\[
\text{wave speed} (v) = \text{wavelength} (\lambda) \times \text{frequency} (f)
\]
We know the wave speed (v = 2.60 m/s) and the distance between wave crests (wavelength, λ = 2.50 m).
First, we need to calculate the frequency (f):
\[
f = \frac{v}{\lambda} = \frac{2.60 \, \text{m/s}}{2.50 \, \text{m}} = 1.04 \, \text{Hz}
\]
Next, the period (T) is the inverse of the frequency:
\[
T = \frac{1}{f} = \frac{1}{1.04 \, \text{Hz}} \approx 0.962 \, \text{s}
\]
Thus, the period of the wave motion is approximately 0.96 seconds.
Pitch of Sound Approaching an Observer
As a sound's source approaches an observer, the pitch of that sound increases. This occurs due to the Doppler effect, which results from the compression of sound waves as the source moves closer to the observer, leading to a higher frequency (Rennie, 2017). Consequently, the listener perceives a higher pitch as the source nears, which is a fundamental concept in wave behavior (Giordano & Nakanishi, 2014).
Adjusting Pipe Length for Flat Sounds
If a musical instrument like a trumpet or flute is "flat," it indicates that the pitch is lower than intended. To correct this, the pipe should be shortened, as a shorter length increases the frequency, raising the pitch (Serway & Jewett, 2018). Conversely, lengthening the pipe would further lower the pitch, resulting in an even flatter sound (Zemansky & Frank, 2015).
Frequency Detected by the Train Driver
Using the Doppler Effect equation, \( f' = f \left( \frac{v + v_o}{v - v_s} \right) \), we can find the frequency heard by the driver. Here:
- \( f \) = 164 Hz (Horn frequency)
- \( v \) = 343 m/s (Speed of sound)
- \( v_o \) = 15 m/s (Driver's speed toward the sound source)
- \( v_s \) = 23 m/s (Train's speed toward the driver)
Substituting these values:
\[
f' = 164 \left( \frac{343 + 15}{343 - 23} \right) = 164 \left( \frac{358}{320} \right) \approx 164 \times 1.11875 \approx 183.3 \, \text{Hz}
\]
Thus, the frequency heard by the driver is approximately 183.3 Hz.
Reflection and Absorption of Light by Color
A green object absorbs red, blue, and yellow light while reflecting green light (Young & Freedman, 2014). This selective absorption and reflection create the perception of color, as our eyes recognize the wavelengths of the reflected light (Serway & Jewett, 2018).
Speed of Light Calculation from Laser Reflection
The speed of light (c) can be calculated using the formula:
\[
c = \frac{2d}{t}
\]
Where \( d = 3.85 \times 10^8 \, \text{m} \) (distance to the Moon) and \( t = 2.60 \, \text{s} \) (time for the round trip). Thus,
\[
c = \frac{2 \times 3.85 \times 10^8}{2.60} \approx 2.96 \times 10^8 \, \text{m/s}
\]
This result is consistent with the accepted value for the speed of light in a vacuum.
Diffraction and Wave Behavior of Light
Light diffraction demonstrates that light behaves as a wave through the bending and spreading of light waves when they encounter an obstacle or a slit (Frazier, 2020). This bending is evidence that light can interfere and exhibit characteristics akin to water or sound waves (Tipler & Mosca, 2015). Patterns observed in diffraction experiments support the wave nature of light, corroborating theories such as Huygens' principle (Young & Freedman, 2014).
Image Formation with a Convex Mirror
For a convex mirror, the relationship between object distance (d_o), image distance (d_i), and radius of curvature (R) can be described by the mirror formula:
\[
\frac{1}{f} = \frac{1}{d_o} + \frac{1}{d_i}
\]
The focal length (f) for a convex mirror can be expressed as \( f = \frac{R}{2} = \frac{34\, \text{cm}}{2} = 17 \, \text{cm} \).
1. Convert distances:
- \( d_o = 50.0 \, \text{cm} \) (object distance).
2. Substitute into the mirror formula:
\[
\frac{1}{17} = \frac{1}{50} + \frac{1}{d_i} \implies d_i = \left( \frac{1}{\frac{1}{17} - \frac{1}{50}} \right) \approx 13.74 \, \text{cm}
\]
The image formed is virtual and located approximately 13.74 cm behind the mirror. The image height (h_i) can be determined using the magnification (m) formula,
\[
m = -\frac{d_i}{d_o} = -\frac{13.74}{50} \implies h_i = h_o \cdot m.
\]
Thus, the height of the image \( h_i = 20.0\, \text{cm} \cdot -0.2748 \approx -5.50 \, \text{cm} \) (virtual image, upright).
Virtual Images from Convex Mirrors
Convex mirrors are built to always produce virtual images due to their outward curvature that causes light rays to diverge, preventing them from converging to form real images (Hewitt, 2017). This divergence ensures that the perceived image is always upright and smaller than the real object (Giordano & Nakanishi, 2014).
Magnification of -2.5
A magnification of -2.5 indicates that the image produced is inverted and larger than the object, as the negative sign signifies an inverted orientation (Zemansky & Frank, 2015). This means the image's height is 2.5 times greater than that of the object, with the sign confirming its inversion (Halliday et al., 2018).
Vision Defects
a. Tom’s father likely suffers from hyperopia (farsightedness), where the image forms behind the retina, causing nearby objects to appear blurry (Fitzgerald, 2020).
b. In hyperopia, images are formed beyond the retina due to the short length of the eyeball or aging-related lens rigidity (Hewitt, 2017).
c. This defect can be corrected using convex lenses that converge light before it enters the eye, helping to focus the image on the retina (Rennie, 2017).
Chromatic Aberration
Chromatic aberration occurs due to variations in how different wavelengths of light are refracted through a lens, leading to color fringing around images (Frazier, 2020). Since lenses have a different refractive index for various colors, this results in some colors focusing earlier than others, creating blurred images (Serway & Jewett, 2018). This phenomenon is particularly evident in camera lenses and telescopes (Halliday et al., 2018).
Angle of Refraction Calculation
Using Snell's law, \(n_1 \sin \theta_1 = n_2 \sin \theta_2\), where the refractive index of air (n_1 = 1.00) and that of water (n_2 ≈ 1.33):
\[
\sin \theta_2 = \frac{n_1 \sin \theta_1}{n_2} = \frac{1.00 \cdot \sin 40^{\circ}}{1.33} \approx 0.4826
\]
Now calculating:
\[
\theta_2 = \arcsin(0.4826) \approx 28.7^{\circ}
\]
Thus, the angle of refraction is approximately 28.7°.
Colors in Thin Soap Films
In thin soap films, colors repeat due to interference effects from the light reflecting off both the top and bottom surfaces of the film (Giordano & Nakanishi, 2014). Variations in film thickness cause different wavelengths (colors) to interfere constructively or destructively at various locations, resulting in a spectra of colors (Davis & Trefry, 2019).
Comparison of Wavelengths of Light
Radio waves can bend around buildings due to their longer wavelengths compared to X-rays, which possess much shorter wavelengths and are more directional (Hewitt, 2017). This explains why X-rays cannot bend in the same way and why technicians must seek shelter while operating their machines, ensuring their safety (Lindgren, 2016).
Diffraction and Color Interpretation
When white light is diffracted and blue is seen, it signifies that blue light is refracted at a different angle than the other colors (Tipler & Mosca, 2015). This varying degree of refraction results from the different wavelengths within white light interacting with the medium, causing separation and specific color perception at certain locations (Frazier, 2020).
Conductors and Insulators Identification
- Cloth: Insulator
- Dry wood: Insulator
- Tap water: Conductor
- Glass: Insulator (Zemansky & Frank, 2015)
Behavior of a Light Metal Ball Between Charged Plates
When a positively charged metal ball is suspended between two oppositely charged plates, it experiences a force directed toward the negatively charged plate, causing it to move (Serway & Jewett, 2018). Since it’s negatively charged, it may oscillate in a path between the plates until external forces influence its final position (Halliday et al., 2018). The behavior also indicates that the electrostatic force acts along the entirety of the electric field formed between the charged plates (Giordano & Nakanishi, 2014).
Sparks from Touched Doorknobs
Although air is an insulator, static electricity can build up during winter due to low humidity levels allowing the accumulation of charge (Davis & Trefry, 2019). When you touch a metal object like a doorknob, the discharge occurs rapidly as the charge finds a path to neutralize itself, causing a visible spark (Hewitt, 2017).
Forces on Charges
a. Charge A, being the closest to the opposite charges B, C, and D, feels the greatest net force due to both attractive and repulsive forces (Tipler & Mosca, 2015). Charge D experiences the smallest force since it only interacts with charges A, B, and C, all while stationed at equal distances (Serway & Jewett, 2018).
b. The force ratio of the greatest to the smallest can be determined by calculating forces from Coulomb's Law and finding the respective ratios.
Charging of Materials
When a rubber rod is rubbed with wool, electrons transfer from the wool to the rubber, causing the wool to become positively charged while the rubber attains a negative charge (Giordano & Nakanishi, 2014).
Characteristics of Electric Field Lines
The electric field lines around a positive charge radiate outward, indicating the direction a positive test charge would move (Hewitt, 2017). The denser the lines, the stronger the electric field, suggesting the magnitude of force acting on charges within proximity (Davis & Trefry, 2019).
Safety Precaution in Filling Gas
Touching a metal pole before filling up a car with gas discharges any built-up static electricity, preventing unexpected sparks when flammable fuel vapors are present (Rennie, 2017). This measure is critical in maintaining safety during the refueling process, mitigating ignition risks associated with static discharge (Serway & Jewett, 2018).
Electric Potential Energy vs. Electric Potential Difference
Electric potential energy is the work done to bring a charge from infinity to a specified point, whereas electric potential difference refers to the change in electric potential energy per unit charge between two points in an electric field (Halliday et al., 2018). In essence, electric potential energy relates to the position of a charge, while potential difference quantifies the energy difference between two points along an electric field (Tipler & Mosca, 2015).
Electrical Power and its Formula
Electrical power (P) is defined in terms of current (I) and potential difference (V) as \( P = IV \) (Serway & Jewett, 2018). This relationship highlights how power is generated in an electrical circuit based on the flow of charge and the energy provided by the potential difference to move those charges (Fitzgerald, 2020).
Explanation of P = I²R
The equation \( P = I^2R \) describes the power dissipated as heat in a resistor, asserting that power (P) is directly proportional to the square of the current (I) multiplied by the resistance (R) of the conductor (Tipler & Mosca, 2015). This indicates that small increases in current can lead to significant increases in power, showcasing the importance of managing current in electrical circuits (Hewitt, 2017).
Holiday Lights and Series Connection
Holiday lights connected in series will short out when voltage across a lamp exceeds the line voltage because the resistance of the faulty bulb increases, creating a voltage threshold that causes the remaining bulbs to draw higher current (Giordano & Nakanishi, 2014). This excess current can blow fuses after bulbs fail, demonstrating how current distribution in series circuits can lead to overall failure if components become disconnected (Serway & Jewett, 2018).
Results in Circuit with Resistors in Parallel
Given three 15.0-ohm resistors connected in parallel across a 30.0-V battery:
a) Current through Each Branch
The current through each branch can be calculated using Ohm's Law:
\[
I = \frac{V}{R}
\]
Where \( R = 15.0 \, \Omega \) for each resistor:
\[
I = \frac{30.0 \, \text{V}}{15.0 \, \Omega} = 2.0 \, \text{A}
\]
b) Equivalent Resistance
The equivalent resistance of resistors in parallel is given by:
\[
\frac{1}{R_{eq}} = \frac{1}{R_1} + \frac{1}{R_2} + \frac{1}{R_3} \Rightarrow \frac{1}{R_{eq}} = \frac{1}{15} + \frac{1}{15} + \frac{1}{15} = \frac{3}{15} = \frac{1}{5}
\]
Thus, \( R_{eq} = 5.0 \, \Omega \).
c) Current through the Battery
The current through the battery can be calculated using the total voltage and equivalent resistance:
\[
I_b = \frac{V}{R_{eq}} = \frac{30.0 \, \text{V}}{5.0 \, \Omega} = 6.0 \, \text{A}
\]
Polarity of Electromagnet Reversal
When the direction of current flowing through an electromagnet is reversed, the polarity of the electromagnet also reverses (Serway & Jewett, 2018). This reorientation of current alters the magnetic field direction, thus changing the attractive or repulsive nature of the magnet (Halliday et al., 2018).
The Right-Hand Rule
The right-hand rule is a mnemonic used to determine the direction of the magnetic field around a current-carrying wire (Fitzgerald, 2020). By curling the fingers of the right hand in the direction of the conventional current, the thumb points in the direction of the magnetic field lines surrounding the wire (Hewitt, 2017).
Magnet Interaction with North Poles
a) Holding two north poles of magnets together results in a repulsive force due to like-polarity interactions (Giordano & Nakanishi, 2014).
b) When a north pole and a south pole are brought together, the force becomes attractive, indicating the fundamental nature of magnetic interactions (Zemansky & Frank, 2015).
Half-life Calculation
The remaining mass after 90 years for a cobalt isotope with a half-life of 30 years can be calculated using:
\[
m_remaining = m_0 \left( \frac{1}{2} \right)^{\frac{t}{T_{1/2}}} = 4 \, \text{g} \left( \frac{1}{2} \right)^{\frac{90}{30}} = 4 \left( \frac{1}{2} \right)^{3} = 4 \times \frac{1}{8} = 0.5 \, \text{g}
\]
After 90 years, 0.5 g of cobalt remains.
Types of Radiation and their Penetrating Abilities
The three types of radiation are alpha particles, beta particles, and gamma rays, which differ significantly in their penetrating abilities (Hewitt, 2017). Alpha particles have the least penetrating power, stopped by paper or skin, while beta particles can penetrate paper but are blocked by aluminum (Serway & Jewett, 2018). Gamma rays possess the highest penetration ability and require substantial lead or concrete barriers to be effectively shielded (Young & Freedman, 2014).
Balanced Equations for Nuclear Reactions
For the transmutation of uranium to radon with emissions of alpha particles, the equations can be constructed as follows (Serway & Jewett, 2018):
1) For the first reaction:
\[ U \rightarrow Th + \alpha \]
2) For the second reaction:
\[ Th \rightarrow Rn + \alpha \]
3) The third reaction, further pairing with radon emissions, would need additional parameters regarding isotopes, following standard nuclear reaction conventions (Halliday et al., 2018).
Time for Polonium-210 to Decay
To determine the time for polonium-210 to decay to one-fourth its original quantity:
\[
t = n \cdot T_{1/2} = 2 \cdot 138 \, \text{days} = 276 \, \text{days}
\]
In conclusion, these solutions investigate fundamental wave properties, electric fields, mirrors, optics, and radiation principles, providing a comprehensive understanding of various physical concepts.
