INTRODUCTION

In this workbook some exemplifying problems about waves, optics and electromagnetism are carried out.

These disciplines are generally addressed in the study of physics in the last year of scientific high schools and constitute the last piece of so-called classical physics.

Precisely for the reason that these exercises are aimed at the high school level, there will be no concepts of mathematical analysis and resolution methods typically of a university nature.

I

WAVES

Exercise 1

––––––––

Given a wave phenomenon of 14 waves per minute and with a wavelength of 34 meters, find the propagation speed of the phenomenon.

––––––––

The frequency of the phenomenon is:

The speed of propagation is given by:

Exercise 2

––––––––

A wave with a frequency of 4.5 Hertz has an amplitude of 12 cm and a wavelength of 27 cm.

Calculate the distance traveled by a wave crest in 0.5 seconds.

––––––––

In one second there will be 2.25 complete oscillations and therefore the distance covered by a crest will be:

Exercise 3

––––––––

A wave has a speed of 240 meters per second and a wavelength of 3.2 meters.

Calculate the frequency and period of the wave.

––––––––

The speed is given by:

And so the period is:
