How is a pendulum set

Amachine, modeled as a simple spring-mass system, oscillates in simple harmonic motion. its acceleration is measured to have an amplitude of 5,000 mm/s with a fre- quency of 10 hz. compute the maximum displacement the machine undergoes during this oscillation.

Unpolarized light of intensity so passes through two sheets of polarizing material whose transmission axes make an angle of 60∘ with each other as shown in the figure. what is the intensity of the transmitted beam, st?

Antireflective coatings on solar cells are often made by applying a thin film of silicon nitride (sinx), which has an index of refractive of 1.2, on the top of the silicon solar cell, which has a refractive index of about 3.5. however, the sun emits radiation of various wavelengths which the solar cell absorbs, and the antireflective coating can only absolutely minimize the reflection of one of these wavelengths. the coating thickness is chosen to reduce the reflection of green/yellow light (e = 2.2 ev), which is the most intense color in the solar spectrum (shown below). which of the following coatings would minimize reflection of green/yellow light? the answer is 820 nm how? what is the angular width of the central maximum of an electron traveling at 2 x 108 m/s going through a single slit of width 1 mm.
