Blog Post 7(Diffraction)

Utilizing the difrfaction slides and laser pointers address the following questions.

1. What is the 4 patterns printed on the slides? Somehow draw and post this pattern on your blog, and explain how you arrived at this pattern.

Explained in lab. This is how i came to this conclusion.
   

2. Determine the distance between the line patterns on the slides, and how thick the lines may be based on your changing of the simulator to duplicate the pattern you measured.
   1.Roughly 2cm
    2.Roughly 1 cm
    3. Roughly 2 cm
    4. Roughly 1 cm


3. Setup the light wave simulator to simulate the patterns on the 35 mm slides. Grab a picture of these simulations and post them for each of your patterns.

4. Which light can measure smaller things, red light or green light? Post an image of the simulator demonstrating this.
Green light because the wavelength is much smaller compared to the red light.

Blog Post 5 (Wave Lab)

1. When I started at a lower amplitude it was about 3.54 cm. When i changed it to a higher amplitude it went down to about 2 cm.

2. When I started at a lower frequency it was about 4.4 cm. When i changed it to a higher frequency it went down to about 2.56 cm.

3. From what i can tell from the data that at a lower amplitude and a higher frequency that the wave length was smaller, while at a higher amplitude and lower frequency the wave length was larger.
4. Drop 1 wavelength: 1.53 cm
Drop 2 wavelength: 1.16 cm


First measurments done at the first point(x).
A=3.33 cm  B=3.19 cm  C=5.59 cm  D=5.62 cm  E=5.12 cm  F=7.77 cm

Second measurments are from point 2(y).
A=5.55cm  B=3.17 cm  C=3.32 cm  D= 7.82 cm  E=5.54 cm  F=5.51 cm

     Over all when one were to look at these numbers the first thing they would notice is how some of the numbers from the first point are close, if not the same, as the numbers that gotten on the second point (such as measurement A from point x and measurement C from point y. Because of this symmetry(as i like to call it) the wavelengths converge and eventually averages out on the distances between the 2 wavelengths.

1. which takes more energy, slow up and down, or fast up and down?
Fast up and fast down takes more energy.
2. fast frequency corresponds to low energy or high energy?
High energy.
3. Determine the frequency of the provided wave(frequency 27, amplitude 50)in Hz?
About .98 Hz.
4. Determine the frequency of the provided wave(frequency 100, amplitude 50) in Hz?
About 3.7 Hz.
5. Determine the frequency of the provided wave(frequency 27and amplitude 100) in Hz.
About .98 Hz.
6. What is the wavelength of the provided wave(frequency 27, amplitude 50)in cm?
58cm.
7. What is the wavelength of the provided wave(frequency 100, amplitude 50)in cm?
16cm.
8. Describe the relationships between energy, frequency and wavelength. Include descriptions for relationships of all three.
The higher the frequency, the shorter the wavelength.
More energy means higher frequency and shorter wavelength.
A long wavelength means either the frequency is low and/or there is little energy.
