Sources A and B emit long-range radio waves of wavelength 380 m, with the phase of the emission from A ahead of that from source B by 90°. The distance rA from A to a detector is greater than the corresponding distance rB from B by 140 m. What is the magnitude of the phase difference at the detector?
Suppose that a laser has a power output of 0.41 mW. If the laser projects a circular spot on a wall that has a diameter of 2.6 mm, what is the intensity of the beam in W/m2 at that spot? Round your answer to the nearest tenth of a W/m2.
In the process of performing an analysis, you determine that you need to improve the precision by limiting the error in
the absorbance to 9.400 x 10%. You attempt to achieve this by reducing the amount of stray light that reaches the
detector. What is the maximum amount of stray light that can reach the detector that will limit the error in the
absorbance to 9.400 x 10 for a true absorbance of 1.0000000?
