P-4. (17 marks) Standin Waves In the arranement shown below, a mass m = 5. k han from a strin around a liht pulley. The lenth of the strin between point P and the pulley is L =. m. When the vibrator is set to a frequency of 15 Hz, a standin waves with six loops is formed. A. What must be the linear mass density of the strin, in k/m? [11 points] B. How many loops (if any) will result if m is increased to 45 k? [6 points] A. 6 loops (or half-waves) means f = f 15 Hz, so that f 5 Hz F m v = = and μ μ f v L 6 6 1 = = m m μ = = lead to 1 v ( f L) 1 1 = = 4.91 1-3 k/m B. If m is multiplied by a factor 9, then v, and therefore, are multiplied by a factor 3. In other words, the new f1 is 75 Hz. Therefore, 15 Hz = (75 Hz) is f, so that there are two loops. f 1 9
P-5. (17 marks) Youn s Two-Slit Experiment In Youn s experiment, a mixture of orane liht (611 nm) and blue liht (471 nm) shines on the double slit. The first-order ( m = 1) briht blue frines lie at the outer edes of a screen that is located 5 cm away from the slits. However, the first-order orane frines fall off the screen. By how much and in which direction (toward or away from the slits) should the screen be moved, so that the first-order briht orane frines just appear on the screen? (It may be assumed that θ is small, so that sinθ tanθ.) Since θ (anular width of the interference pattern) is proportional to λ, the orane liht produces a wider pattern than the blue liht. Thus the screen should be moved toward the slits in order that the first-order briht orane frines just appear on the screen. From d sin θ = mλ and y = L tan θ, one finds, with sinθ tanθ, that yd m =1, we obtain L. Since y and d are the same, we find λ distance by which the screen should be moved is λorane Lblue λorane 471 blue Lorane = Lblue = Lblue 1 = 5 1 λblue λblue 611 L L blue orane y mλ.
