Two diffraction gratings one on top of the other
Homework Statement Two diffraction gratings are stuck together, both with vertically aligned slits. Grating A has S1 slits and B has S2 slits. What is the new equivalent grating that is the product of two of the diffraction gratings above? (s1>s2>>>1) Homework Equations a. N* = 1/d...- zimo

Optics - Diopter farsighted + shortsigted
Homework Statement A man is both farsighted and shortsighted so his natural correct view is between 70cm to 100cm. What will be his view range if he puts on his reading glasses? Homework Equations \frac{1}{u}+\frac{1}{v} = \frac{1}{f} = D The Attempt at a Solution I calculated...- zimo

Using rapidity - prove velocity transformation equations
Homework Statement Prove the law of transformation of velocities \begin{array}{l} {v_x} = \frac{{{v_x}^\prime + V}}{{1 + {v_x}^\prime V/{c^2}}}\\ {v_y} = \frac{{{v_y}^\prime }}{{\gamma (1 + {v_x}^\prime V/{c^2})}}\\ {v_z} = \frac{{{v_z}^\prime }}{{\gamma (1 + {v_x}^\prime V/{c^2})}}...- zimo

Electric dipole - derive torque from pot. energy
A shot: G = - \frac{\partial U}{\partial\theta} = - \frac{\partial(-p \cdot E)}{\partial\theta} = \frac{\partial(pEcos\theta)}{\partial\theta} = - pEsin\theta = - p \times E did I get it all-right?- zimo

Electric dipole - derive torque from pot. energy
Homework Statement Derive equation of torque: G = p X E from equation U = -p\cdotE Homework Equations G = \int x \times \rho(x)E dV U = \int \rho(x)x \cdot \nabla\varphi dV The Attempt at a Solution I tried to figure how to represent G in a way that better express the nature...- zimo

Two lenses problem, multiple interpretations, no true answer
I understood my mistakes: a. the correct equation to use is the simpler lens equation (although we can use the above one, but no need) b. on the second iteration we need to take the new u from the old v but to do the conversion 100-u=u(new) because the new reference image is between the two...- zimo

Two lenses problem, multiple interpretations, no true answer
Homework Statement Two lenses, with 20cm focals are in 1m distance from each other. A body is located 60cm from the right lens.Homework Equations I figured that the relevant equation should be: \frac{n1}{u} + \frac{n2}{v} = \frac{n2 - n1}{r} but perhaps a I'm wrong.
