Question
Chapter 28, Problem 39A
To determine
To explain: The properties of laser lights that led to its use in light shows.
Expert Solution & Answer
Explanation of Solution
Introduction:
The word laser stands for light amplification by stimulated emission of
The properties of laser lights that led to its use in light shows are:
- Laser beams are narrow.
- Laser beams are highly directional.
- They do not spread out over long distances
- They have lights of one wavelength (pure colours)
Conclusion:
Laser lights have many uses due to their unique properties. They are used by scientists, in fiber optics etc.

He plans to use a uniform elastic cord, tied to a harness around his body, to stop his fall at a point 6.00 m above the water. Model his body as a particle and the cord as having negligible mass and obeying Hooke's law. In a preliminary test he finds that when hanging at rest from a 5.00 m length of the cord, his body weight stretches it by 1.55 m. He will drop from rest at the point where the top end of a longer section of the cord is attached to the bridge. (a) What length of cord should he use? Use subscripts 1 and 2 respectively to represent the 5.00 m test length and the actual jump length. Use Hooke's law F = KAL and the fact that the change in length AL for a given force is proportional the length L (AL = CL), to determine the force constant for the test case and for the jump case.

(Enter your answer in m.)arrow_forwardTruck suspensions often have "helper springs" that engage at high loads. One such arrangement is a leaf spring with a helper coil spring mounted on the axle, as shown in the figure below. When the main leaf spring is compressed by distance yo, the helper spring engages and then helps to support any additional load. Suppose the leaf spring constant is 5.05 × 105 N/m, the helper spring constant is 3.50 × 105 N/m, and y = 0.500 m.
