Answer to Problem 1CQ

The vibration of either one is a sound wave.

Explanation of Solution

Generally waves are classified into two, one is transverse wave and another is longitudinal waves. In the case of transverse wave, the vibration (molecules) is perpendicular to the direction of propagation of the wave whereas the direction of propagation and vibration (molecules) are in same direction.

In this case, the vibration of the string in violin, piano and guitar produces transverse wave when the string plucked. It never produces longitudinal waves. These transverses wave would produce longitudinal wave in the air by facilitate to vibrate the air molecules.

6. Bending a lens in OpticStudio or OSLO. In either package, create a BK7 singlet lens of 10 mm semi-diameter and with 10 mm thickness. Set the wavelength to the (default) 0.55 microns and a single on-axis field point at infinite object distance. Set the image distance to 200 mm. Make the first surface the stop insure that the lens is fully filled (that is, that the entrance beam has a radius of 10 mm). Use the lens-maker's equation to calculate initial glass curvatures assuming you want a symmetric, bi-convex lens with an effective focal length of 200 mm. Get this working and examine the RMS spot size using the "Text" tab of the Spot Diagram analysis tab (OpticStudio) or the Spd command of the text widnow (OSLO). You should find the lens is far from diffraction limited, with a spot size of more than 100 microns. Now let's optimize this lens. In OpticStudio, create a default merit function optimizing on spot size.Then insert one extra line at the top of the merit function. Assign the…
