Two guitar strings have the same known length L, and same known linear mass density mu, vibrate at their common fundamental frequency of f1 Hz. you would like to know the frequency, f1, of the note you hear, but you don't have perfect pitch. Undeterred, you decide to use physics to find it. Both strings originally have some unknown T. You can increase the tension of one of the strings such that you known its tension is exactly 10% greater than that for the other one. Use your knowledge of interference and beats to find the orignally frequency, f1, in terms of the number of beats per second that you hear, n

A concave mirror has a focal length of 0.25 m. If an object produces a virtual image 0.04 m from the mirror, where is it located?

An object is placed 0.42 m away from a concave lens and has a height of 0.09 m . The image produce is -0.05 m tall. Where is the image located?

A 0.31 m tall object is placed 0.45 m from a converging lens with a 0.04 m focal length. How tall is the image?

The optical fiber has a ratio of core to cladding is 1.02 and refractive index of core is 1.50. Determine the i) critical angle, ii) Numerical aperture, iii) acceptance angle and iv) fractional index change.

two coherent source of light having intensity ratio 16:1 produce an interference fringe pattern

a man used a glasses of-1d to see distant object. Where should the object be placed to have an image which is half of the object? Write the answer in 2 decimal after dot and give a space to write the unit exampple 98.52 D or 22.12 kg

A converging lens has a focal length of 0.05 m. If an object is placed at 0.76 m from the lens, where will its image be located?


Is it real or virtual?

White light containing the wavelengths between 420 and 720 nm traveling in the air falls on a thin layer n1 = 1.5 and a thickness of 0.000001 m. If this layer is placed on another thin film n2 = 1.4, determine the wavelengths of the light that is not reflected in the air.
