    Finding the Optimal Lens for Focusing a Helium-Neon Laser Beam

    1. Homework Statement A scientist needs to focus a helium-neon laser beam (lamda = 633nm) to a 10 micrometre diameter spot 8.0 cm behind the lens. a) What focal-length should she use? b) What minimum diameter should she use? 2. Homework Equations w = (2.44lambda * focal length) /...

    Calculating Focal Length and Minimum Diameter for Laser Beam Diffraction

    I cannot seem to find any modification of this equation anywhere, but it seems that this is the only equation that is used to solve this problem

    Vibration and Frequency Questions

    So what I did for this question is, attempt to plug in values for 'm' so, for example 390 = m v/2L 390 = 1 343/2L and find length that way, it turned out that 390 represents the 3rd modal where (m = 3). Velocity is of course 343 m/s because sound will travel thorugh the tube which is...

    Vibrating a 75g Bungee Cord: Standing Wave Formation

    Homework Statement A 75 g bungee cord has an equilibrium length of 1.20 m. The cord is stretched to a length of 1.80 m, then vibrated at 20 Hz. This produces a standing wave with two antinodes. Homework Equations I really am not sure how to approach this using an equation, tried to use...
