Standing Waves in Research Industry

AI Thread Summary
Standing waves play a crucial role in the research industry by facilitating resonance, where an external frequency matches the natural frequency of an object, leading to increased amplitude. This principle is applied in various fields, including medical imaging with x-rays and pest control, where specific frequencies can effectively eliminate mosquitoes. The concept of resonance is essential for understanding how standing waves operate in different applications. Researchers are encouraged to explore the diverse uses of resonance across multiple disciplines. Overall, standing waves are integral to advancing technologies and methodologies in scientific research.

How are standing waves necessary for the research industry? I found some information regarding x-rays, but it's all a little too difficult for me to understand. I just need a short list of fields where standing waves have been useful.


Thank you.

Standing waves are half of what is known as "resonance." I short, an outside driving frequency is set to match the frequency of a standing wave in some object. If these frequencies are the same (other options of matching the overtones are also possible) then an increase in the amplitude of the standing wave results. Google for applications of resonance; I know that recently this method has been found to kill mosquitos at the correct frequency.
 

Thread 'Rolling without slipping on a curved surface'

Kindly see the attached pdf. My attempt to solve it, is in it. I'm wondering if my solution is right. My idea is this: At any point of time, the ball may be assumed to be at an incline which is at an angle of θ(kindly see both the pics in the pdf file). The value of θ will continuously change and so will the value of friction. I'm not able to figure out, why my solution is wrong, if it is wrong .

Thread 'Voltmeter readings for this circuit with switches'

TL;DR Summary: I would like to know the voltmeter readings on the two resistors separately in the picture in the following cases , When one of the keys is closed When both of them are opened (Knowing that the battery has negligible internal resistance) My thoughts for the first case , one of them must be 12 volt while the other is 0 The second case we'll I think both voltmeter readings should be 12 volt since they are both parallel to the battery and they involve the key within what the...
