Thank you! Still don't get it why it gets dimmer. It seems vague

Hi all! In Young's double slit experiment, there are two things I cannot explain. Any help is appreciated! The first one is why the bright fringes get dimmer as you get further from the central/brightest spot. My theory, after looking in the two books I have, is that each single slit decreases...

Hi all! I am doing an experiment where we create a standing wave by attaching a string to a hanging mass at one end and to a string vibrator at the other (the string passes through a pulley). When plotting the graph, the slope is inevitably 1/(u*f^2) where u is the linear density and f the...

A mass attached to a spring is oscillating in Simple Harmonic Motion. If an other spring of same sprinc constant is attached parrallel to the other spring, what is the period of this new system (as a function of the initial period). Here's what I did and have no idea if this is right: For the...

Thank you for your answer! It is much more clear in my head now. Since 50g were added in the hanging mass, I think you are right and that the controlled variable is the moment of inertia, the independent is the mass of the hanging mass but I am not sure for the dependent variable... since the...

Hi! So it's new for me to do physics lab that way and my teacher is asking us to define the independent, independent and controlled variables of every lab we're doing. I'm not quite sure what they refer to... For example, in a moment of inertia lab (see picture), I am asked this question. The...
