Interference of Light

The word "constructive" signifies addition in interference. Constructive interference occurs when the path of the waves that start from the slit differs by 1 entire wavelength or in the intervals of the same. Hence, the waves that are presented on the sc…

Resolving Lines on an HDTV

The American Television Systems Committee (ATSC) sets the standards for high-definition television (HDTV). One of the approved HDTV formats is 1080p, which means 1080 horizontal lies scanned progressively (p)—that is, one line after another in sequence from top to bottom. Another standard is 1080, which stands for 1080 lines interfaced (i). In this system it takes two scans of the screen to show a complete picture the first scan shows the “even” horizontal lines, the second scan shows the “odd” horizontal lines. Interlacing was the norm for television displays until the 1970s, and is still used in most standard-definition TVs today. Progressive scanning became more popular with the advent of computer monitors, and is used today in LCD, DIP, and plasma HDTVs.

In addicting, the ATSC sets the standard for the shape of displays. For example it defines a “wide screen” to be one with a 16:9 ratio; that is, the width of the display is greater than the height by the factor 16/9. The ratio is just a little larger than the golden ratio, ϕ = ( 1 + 5 ) / 2 = 1.618...... , which is generally believed to be especially pleasing to the eye. Whatever the shape or definition of a TV, the ATSC specifies that it project 30 frames per second on a progressive display, or 60 fields per second on an interlace display, where each ted is half the horizontal lines

For the following problems assume that 1080 horizontal lines are displayed on a television with a screen that is 15 7 inches high (32-inch diagonal), and that the light coming from the screen has a wavelength of 645 nm Also, assume that the pupil of your eye has a diameter of 5.50 mm. and that the index of refraction 01 the interior of the eye is 1.36.

• According to the Rayleigh criterion, what is the closest you can be to the TV screen before resolving the individual Horizontal Ines? (In practice you can to ccosOerably closer than this distance before resolving the lines.)

A. 3.51 ft
B. 4.53 ft
C. 11.5 ft
D. 14.0 ft

You are standing a distance x = 1.75 m away from this mirror. The object you are looking at is y = 0.29 m from the mirror. The angle of incidence is θ = 30°. What is the exact distance from you to the image?

For each of the actions depicted below, a magnet and/or metal loop moves with velocity v→ (v→ is constant and has the same magnitude in all parts). Determine whether a current is induced in the metal loop. If so, indicate the direction of the current in the loop, either clockwise or counterclockwise when seen from the right of the loop. The axis of the magnet is lined up with the center of the loop. For the action depicted in (Figure 5), indicate the direction of the induced current in the loop (clockwise, counterclockwise or zero, when seen from the right of the loop). I know that the current is clockwise, I just dont understand why. Please fully explain why it's clockwise, Thank you

A planar double pendulum consists of two point masses \[m_1 = 1.00~\mathrm{kg}, \qquad m_2 = 1.00~\mathrm{kg}\]connected by massless, rigid rods of lengths \[L_1 = 1.00~\mathrm{m}, \qquad L_2 = 1.20~\mathrm{m}.\]The upper rod is hinged to a fixed pivot; gravity acts vertically downward with\[g = 9.81~\mathrm{m\,s^{-2}}.\]Define the generalized coordinates \(\theta_1,\theta_2\) as the angles each rod makes with thedownward vertical (positive anticlockwise, measured in radians unless stated otherwise).At \(t=0\) the system is released from rest with \[\theta_1(0)=120^{\circ}, \qquad\theta_2(0)=-10^{\circ}, \qquad\dot{\theta}_1(0)=\dot{\theta}_2(0)=0 .\]Using the exact nonlinear equations of motion (no small-angle or planar-pendulumapproximations) and assuming the rods never stretch or slip, determine the angle\(\theta_2\) at the instant\[t = 10.0~\mathrm{s}.\]Give the result in degrees, in the interval \((-180^{\circ},180^{\circ}]\).
