Question Answer
Frequency is the inverse of the period f = \(\frac{1}{T}\)
The wave equation V = f \(\lambda\)
Intensity = \(\frac{Power}{Area}\)
Intensity is ∝ \((Amplitude)^2\)
Refractive Index = \(\frac{Cmedium1}{Cmedium2}\) = \(\frac{sini}{sinr}\)
Refractive Index of material n=\(\frac{Cvacuum}{Cmaterial}\)
Snell's Law n1\(\sin\)\(\theta\)1 = n2\(\sin\)\(\theta\)2
Line Separation = \(\frac{1}{lines/metre}\)
Fringe Spacing w = \(\frac{λD}{s}\)
Incident light wavelength nλ = d\(\sin\)\(\theta\)
Standing Waves: String experiment Equation 1 Mass/unit length: \(\mu\) = \(\frac{M}{L}\)
Equation 2 Tension: T = mg
Equation 3 Wavelength given as: \(\lambda\) = 2l
Equation 4 Frequency: f = \(\frac{1}{2l}\)\(\sqrt {\frac{T}{μ}}\)
Equation 5 v = \(\sqrt {\frac{T}{μ}}\)
