Interference
In
order
to
check
the
spacing
between
two
gears
in
a
miniature
motor,
you
shine
a
green
laser
light
with
wavelength
530
nm
through
the
gap
between
them.
a)
Measuring
the
diffraction
pattern,
you
determine
that
the
central
maximum
is
0.12
radians
wide.
What
is
the
width
of
the
gap
between
the
gears?
b)
Its
generally
easier
to
measure
larger
distances.
Will
you
get
more
accurate
results
for
gap
spacing
if
this
experiment
is
done
under
water?
Why/why
not?
c)
Will
you
get
more
accurate
results
for
gap
spacing
if
this
experiment
is
done
using
red
laser
light
instead?
Why/why
not?
Standing
Wave
A
guitar
string
has
a
length
of
0.68m
and
a
mass
of
0.003kg.
a)
What
tension
must
be
applied
to
this
string
for
it
to
vibrate
at
a
frequency
of
261.5Hz
(middle
C)
when
plucked?
b)
Pressing
down
on
the
string
shortens
the
length
thats
free
to
vibrate.
How
far
from
the
end
of
the
string
should
you
press
down,
if
you
want
it
to
vibrate
at
330Hz
(E
above
middle
C)?
