1. A harmonic oscillator has a period of vibration of 4 second.
a) Explain what is the frequency of vibration?
b) Explain how many times does the harmonic oscillator pass its starting point in 1 minute?
2. Take a wave of infrared radiation of wavelength 1.0x10-3 cm. If the amplitude of the wave =0 at time t=0 .Explain what fraction of the maximum amplitude the wave possess at time t= 16.68 second?
3. Radiation of wavelength 620 nm passes through 2 small slits that are 1 cm apart. Will waves that are diffracted by 60 degree on the same direction from the two slits completely reinforce each other?
4. Compute the velocity of photoelectrons ejected from a sodium metal surface. With work function of 2.46 eV by ultraviolet light of wavelength 250 nm?
