AI Thread Summary

In the equation 2t=mλ, the variable r refers to a specific radius relevant to the context of dark fringes in interference patterns. The discussion clarifies that r is not the curvature of a plano-convex lens nor is it related to the radius r5001 dark, as using these interpretations would yield incorrect results. The focus is on determining the correct meaning of r in relation to the dark fringes observed. The equation is used to analyze the conditions for destructive interference in thin films. Understanding the role of r is crucial for accurate calculations in this context.

2t=mλ for dark fingers

The Attempt at a Solution

how can i calculate r_{5001 dark},also ,what is the meaning of r in qusetion(r=5mm),<----- it is not the curvature R of plano-convex lens also it is not r_{5001 dark},since it will get incorrect answer so what is radius r mean?

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...

Thread 'Power of a thin lens in a medium is 1/fₘ or μₘ/fₘ ?'

Here is what I tried This question was actually asked in one of our engineering entrances. The answer was 1D. My teachers say that we have to use μₘ/fₘ to get to this answer. I cannot understand why. I'll be really glad if you could tell me the exact definition of power (numerically) that works in all scenarios.
