    Induced Voltages and Inductance

    In the figure attached below, the rolling axle, 1.50 m long, is pushed along horizontal rails at a constant speed u = 3.00 m/s. A resistor R= 0.400 Ω is connected to the rails at points a and b, directly opposite each other. (The wheels make good electrical contact with the rails, and so the...

    Does Light Pass Through a Slit Unaltered When Wavelength Equals Slit Width?

    Hi, I need help with the following: Prove that if the wavelength of light is equal to or greater than the width of a slit, light striking the slit perpendicularly passes through without forming any dark interference bands.

    Wave Optics - Single Slit Diffraction

    Light of wavelength 600nm falls on a 0.40-mm-wide slit and forms a diffraction pattern on a screen 1.5m away. (a) Find the position of the first dark band on each side of the central maximum. (b) Find the width of the central maximum For the (a) I think that we use sinθ = +- λ / α I...

    Motion in one dimension of a swimmer

    Hi, i need help with the following: One swimmer in a relay race has a 0.50-s lead and is swimming at a constant speed of 4.0 m/s. He has 50 m to swim before reaching the end of the pool. A second swimmer moves in the same direction as the leader. What constant speed must the second swimmer...
