Oh it makes sense now. They would interfere destructively at the end

Ah I get it, Thanks!

Homework Statement Objects A and C are made of different materials, with different “springiness,” but they have the same mass and are initially at rest. When ball B collides with object A, the ball ends up at rest. When ball B is thrown with the same speed and collides with object C, the ball...

Thank you! I can't believe I missed that, it seems so simple now.

Yes, I tried it (f=nv/4L) with n equal to one and the online assignment page said that it was wrong and then when I used the open-open formula (f=nv/2L) with n equal to one, the website said that the answer was correct. I was assuming that it was an error with the answer, but I just wanted to...

Homework Statement [/B] A student uses an audio oscillator of adjustable frequency to measure the depth of a dried up well. Two successive resonances are heard at 17.0Hz and 23.8Hz. The speed of sound in air is 343 m/s. How deep is the well?Homework Equations f=nv/4L The Attempt at a Solution...

Oh okay. So how would you be able to tell using that information whether dark and bright fringes were produced?

Is the light reflected from the surfaces of the slides?

Aren't they created when the reflections of light interact by constructive and destructive interference? Which is caused by some light rays moving a further or lesser distance.

Homework Statement One microscope slide is placed on top of another with their left edges in contact and a human hair under the right edge of the upper slide. As a result, a wedge of air exists between the slides. An interference pattern results when monochromatic light is incident on the...

Thanks!

Makes sense, thank you!

Ah okay, thanks! Did you just sub in 0 for t which gave you -0.270 at the θ to figure out that it was at its highest point?

Homework Statement The angle of a pendulum is θ(t)=(0.270rad)cos(4.00t+1.00π), where t is in seconds. Determine the initial angular velocity. Homework Equations ω=2πf The Attempt at a Solution [/B] I solved for the frequency, which was 6.37E-1 Hz and subbed it into the formula above and...

Oh okay, so would you just add or subtract 180 degrees to whatever phase constant you found?
