a] Lambda = 24 cm/3 waves = 8 cm/wave
b] f = 15 waves/4 sec = 3.75 waves/sec
c] T = 4 sec/15 waves = 0.267 sec/wave

a] Lambda = 20 cm/3.5 waves = 5.71 cm/wave
b] f = 21 waves/3 sec = 7 waves/sec
c] T = 7 sec/21 waves = 0.333 sec/wave
d] S = f x lambda = 7 waves/sec x 5.71 cm/wave = 40 cm/sec

   |                      |      Multiply both sides by 2/3
   |                      |     Lambda = 2/3 x 6 m = 4 m
   ------------------------   S = Lambda x f =

        =  48 m/s

23      DIFFRACTION:  The bending of a wave around a barrier.
        DIAGRAM Labels:  fronts, Lambda, Barrier, D, D approximates Lambda. 

24    a] DOUBLE SLIT DIFFRACTION:  the bending of a wave around a barrier.
        If the distance between slits & the slit size is approximately
        equal to the wavelength then each slit acts as if it was a point
        source and circular wave come from it.
      b] FOUR USES:    
      i] Diffraction proves that light and X-rays are waves.
     ii] X-Ray diffraction is used to find the structure of proteins.
    iii] Diffraction is used to determine the elements in compounds
     iv] Diffraction limits the ability of microscopes and telescopes
         to distinguish between two close objects.  Resolving power.
         Ex #1: as you enlarge (magnify) a picture it gets grainer
         (looses resolution)
         Ex #2: the resolution on small TV's & telescopes is better
         than large TV's, i.e., you get a sharper picture.

         [8] Central bright, [9 & 10] Primary brights, [11] X, [12] L
      d] Constructive and destructive interference causes this pattern.

25    a] DOPPLER EFFECT:  The apparent change in frequency due to the motion of the source or the observer.  f2 = f1 V/(V+Vs),  V = cΔf/f (pg 396)
b] DIAGRAM Labels:  [1] V = 0, [2] c > V > 0, [3] c = wave speed
[4 & 5] Lambda Long & f Low, [6 & 7] Lambda short & f high.
c] Traffic control, find the speed of galaxies (red shift). 
d] V = cΔf/f = 3.0 x 108 m/s x 2000 Hz/9.375 x 109 Hz
             = 6,000 m/s /9.375 x 101
             = 64 m/s x 1 mi/h/0.447 m/s = 143 mi/h

26    What happens to the apparent frequency for the following situations:
a] The listener is stationary & the source is approaching. f increases
b] The listener is stationary & the source is receding.    f decreases
c] The source is stationary & the listener is approaching. f increases
d] The source is stationary & the listener is receding.    f decreases

27    a] Resonance occurs between two objects when a vibration of one object at the correct frequency induces a large vibration of the other.
b] Objects resonating with each other.
   1] A child's body with a spring.
