In physics, the term diffraction is defined as the bending of light around the corners of the obstacle. As a light ray passes by an aperture, it bends around the edges or through slits, it spreads out through a narrow opening. The diffracted light will p…

Textbook Question

Chapter 28, Problem 15PCE

Predict/Explain A two-slit experiment with red light produces a set of bright fringes, (a) Will the spacing between the fringes increase, decrease, or stay the same if the color of the light is changed to blue? (b) Choose the best explanation from among the following:

I. The spacing between the fringes will increase because blue light has a greater frequency than red light.
II. The fringe spacing decreases because blue light has a shorter wavelength than red light.
III. Only the wave property of light is important in producing the fringes, not the color of the light. Therefore the spacing stays the same.

Starlord has a mass of 89.3 kg and Groot is pulling the bag with a force of 384. N at an angle of 35.0˚ as is shown in the figure below. What is the coefficient of kinetic friction if they are moving at a constant speed of 2.31 m/s?

Early on in the video game Shadow of the Tomb Raider Lara Croft uses a winch to pull a heavy crate of stone up a 23.6° incline. If Lara causes the 66.0 kg crate to accelerate at 2.79 m/s2 up the ramp, what is the tension in the rope pulling the block? The coefficient of kinetic friction between the block and the ground is 0.503.

A player kicks a football at the start of the game. After a 4 second flight, the ball touches the ground 50 m from the kicking tee. Assume air resistance is negligible and the take-off and landing height are the same (i.e., time to peak = time to fall = ½ total flight time). (Note: For each question draw a diagram to show the vector/s. Show all the step and provide units in the answers. Provide answer to 2 decimal places unless stated otherwise.) Calculate and answer all parts. Only use equations PROVIDED:
