    Interference Wave
AI Thread Summary
The discussion focuses on plotting the interference patterns for wavelengths of lambda = d/4, d, and 2d. Participants seek clarification on whether to create a single graph displaying all three patterns or separate graphs for each. The suggested approach involves sketching sine-like graphs, connecting points of constructive and destructive interference, and indicating maxima and minima. There is a consensus on using a common curve to represent the patterns effectively. The goal is to visualize the differences in interference for the specified wavelengths clearly.

1. Show the plot of the maxima and minima (ie:points of cons and dest. interference) for lamda= d/4, d and 2d





3. I am not quite sure what it is asking for. Do I just draw a graph that shows all 3 patterns?

Sounds like it. Just graph the points, connect them with a common curve (prob something like a sin or cosine graph) and point out where the curve reaches its maximum and/ or minimum (concave up or down).
 
could someone help me see how i draw the 3 graphs. I was just going to sketch a sin like graph followed by a sin graph with a phase then a 3rd graph with a larger phase.
 
I multiplied the values first without the error limit. Got 19.38. rounded it off to 2 significant figures since the given data has 2 significant figures. So = 19. For error I used the above formula. It comes out about 1.48. Now my question is. Should I write the answer as 19±1.5 (rounding 1.48 to 2 significant figures) OR should I write it as 19±1. So in short, should the error have same number of significant figures as the mean value or should it have the same number of decimal places as...
Thread 'Calculation of Tensile Forces in Piston-Type Water-Lifting Devices at Elevated Locations'
Figure 1 Overall Structure Diagram Figure 2: Top view of the piston when it is cylindrical A circular opening is created at a height of 5 meters above the water surface. Inside this opening is a sleeve-type piston with a cross-sectional area of 1 square meter. The piston is pulled to the right at a constant speed. The pulling force is(Figure 2): F = ρshg = 1000 × 1 × 5 × 10 = 50,000 N. Figure 3: Modifying the structure to incorporate a fixed internal piston When I modify the piston...
Thread 'A cylinder connected to a hanging mass'
Let's declare that for the cylinder, mass = M = 10 kg Radius = R = 4 m For the wall and the floor, Friction coeff = ##\mu## = 0.5 For the hanging mass, mass = m = 11 kg First, we divide the force according to their respective plane (x and y thing, correct me if I'm wrong) and according to which, cylinder or the hanging mass, they're working on. Force on the hanging mass $$mg - T = ma$$ Force(Cylinder) on y $$N_f + f_w - Mg = 0$$ Force(Cylinder) on x $$T + f_f - N_w = Ma$$ There's also...
