What is the Width of the Central Maximum in Single Slit Diffraction?
alright i seem to have chosen wrong m... i don't understand why is there a path difference of half the wave length then? I mean I understand the double slit interference- that the additional lengh 1 ray must go must be equal to full wave to get constructive interferance. But with single slit i...- Patrickas

What is the Width of the Central Maximum in Single Slit Diffraction?
Homework Statement A single slit 10-4m wide(a) is illuminated by plane waves from helium-neon laser ( l = 6.328*10-7m). If the observing screen is 10m(D) away, determine the width of the central maximum(y). Homework Equations sin(alpha)=(m+0.5)*l/a tan(aplha)~sin(alpha)=y/2*D...- Patrickas

Calculating Potential & Kinetic Energies of a 80kg Man Swinging on a Swing
T=60/15=4s t=4/12=1/3s So i know that W=kx^2/2 Well then i tried getting k, k=mg/l , now i needed the lengh of swings so i figured mv^2/r=mgr/l l=r^2g/v^2, now i need speed =D. v=s/t is s= 4*r? , or s=2*3.14*r? and t=1/3. Anyways i sense that something here is wrong. The numbers don't add up...- Patrickas

What is the Solution to a Function and Roots Problem?
Hmmm I'm guessing that the signs will change. Then i should get -√2+2+√2= 2 Right?- Patrickas

Undergrad How much energy is needed for electrolysis to produce 2.5l of hydrogen?
If anyone is interested how to solve it read along. :smile: "You have 0.1 mole of hydrogen gas produced (from pV=nRT) So far so good Multiply by Avogadro's number to find number of hydrogen molecules Each molecule needs 2 hydrogen atoms Each atom had a charge = 1.6 x 10^-19 C Multiply...- Patrickas
