    Double slit Slit
AI Thread Summary
The discussion revolves around two problems related to Young's double slit experiment and interference patterns. The first problem involves determining the angle θ for constructive and destructive interference from two radio antennas spaced 2λ apart. The second problem requires finding the second wavelength of light when the dark bands of two distinct wavelengths coincide at a double slit. A resource link is provided for further clarification, and the user is encouraged to post their work for additional assistance. Understanding the principles of wave interference is crucial for solving these problems effectively.

Gday, I am having some trouble with these questions becuase i was away for the two weeks when we did them any help or explanation would be greatly appreciated.

1) A transmitter drivest wo radio antenna A and B placed 2\lambda appart. Each atenna emit radio waves, in phase, uniformly in all directions. Angle \theta defines the direction to a distant point P. Find the value of \theta if there is

a) Constructive interference at P
b) Destructive interference at P



2) A light source emits light of two distinct wavelengths. One of these is 640 nm.
a) If the third dark band from the centre line of this wavelength conicides with the fourth dark band of the other wavelength when both wavelengths pass through the same doubleslits what is the second wavelength?

thank you, Alex ( i really don't know where to start)

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 '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...
