Laser sighting can be used to calculate the apparent distance to an object. A laser in air (at 25° from the normal) detects an impurity in a sample of glass and records the apparent depth as 2.34 m. Calculate the actual depth of the object.

Two friends are practicing dribbling basketballs at the same rate but completely out of phase from each other. a) A third friend standing a distance away hears nothing, Is this friend on a nodal line or antinodal line? Nodal b) If the third friend determines that they are one the 2nd _____________ line and is from part “a” 7m away from the one friend and 8.2m away from the second friend, determine the wavelength of the sound.

Which wave will diffract more? Explain your reasoning.
Width of aperture and wavelength contribute to the diffraction. We want a small aperture and a large wavelength. This means diagram 1 will diffract more. 9.
A student finds an unlabeled tuning fork and attempts to determine the frequency of the fork. They set up the lab equipment used during the resonance lab and find lengths of tube (closed tube) that produce loud noises. The first loud noise is detected at a length of 0.184 m a) What is the frequency of the tuning fork if the temperature in the room is exactly 20.0o C b) The student measured the next loud point at a length of 0.552 m. Does this agree with the data collected and our understanding of closed tubes standing waves? Bonus: What note is this tuning fork tuned to? a) 𝑚 𝑣! = 343 𝑠 4𝑙 4 0.184 𝑚 𝜆= = = 0.736 𝑚 𝑛 1 𝑓= b)
