    How to Convert FSR from Frequency to Wavelength?

    Homework Statement Hi The FSR of a laser with length L is given by Δv = c/2L. If I want to find what Δv is in wavelength, then how do I do this? Obviously I need c=vλ, from which we know that Δv/v = Δλ/λ. But the last equation I can't apply to this case, since it refers to errors around...

    Relations between Angle of Launch, Range & Flight Time

    1. How do angle of launch, range, and flight time relate to one each other? 2.ΔX=vcosθ*t [b]3. According to the equation above,in my opinion as θ increases, range should decrease and time(t) should increase. Is there any other way of knowing the relation?
