    The passage discusses physics concepts like energy storage in capacitors, resonance of vibrating strings, and Coulomb's law.

    Increasing the distance between the bridges by 10% would result in a higher resonant frequency of the string.

    The Coulomb force exerted by tape B on tape A is five times as large as the force exerted by tape A on tape B, since the charges are in a 5:1 ratio.

    Question 1 options:

    Reread the section on error propagation in the lab manual.


    You want to determine the energy stored in a capacitor for a given voltage. You measure the capacitance C
    and the applied voltage V and calculate the energy from U = 0.5CV2. Which of the quantities, C or V, should
    you measure most carefully (with the smallest relative uncertainty) to obtain the most reliable value (smallest
    relative uncertainty) for U?
    V because it is squared in the equation.
    V because its value is usually larger than the value of C.
    You should measure C and V equally carefully because both enter the equation for U.
    C because you cannot trust the printed value of a capacitance
    Question 2 options:
    A stretched string is supported by two bridges a distance L apart. You are driving the string with an inductive
    coil and find the lowest resonance frequency at 100 Hz. Now you move the bridges a little so that the
    distance between them is 10% larger than before. The new resonant frequency
    is larger than it was before.
    may be larger or smaller; one needs more information to decide.
    is smaller than it was before.
    is the same as it was before.
    Question 3 options:
    You managed to create charged tapes with unequal charges. Tape A carries a positive charge QA = +Q and
    tape B carries a negative charge that is five times as large, QB = -5Q. You measure the Coulomb forces of
    the tapes on each other and find
    The Coulomb force on B due to A is five times as large as the Coulomb force on A due to B.
    The Coulomb force on A due to B is five times as large as the Coulomb force on B due to A.
    The Coulomb force on A due to B is larger, but not five times as large, as the Coulomb force on B due to A.
    The Coulomb force on A due to B is as large as the Coulomb force on B due to A.

    Question 4 options:
    You have done experiments on water waves and on light waves. Destructive interference occurs when the
    path difference is
    half a wavelength for light waves and a full wavelength for water waves.
    half a wavelength for water waves and a full wavelength for light waves.
    half a wavelength for both light waves and water waves.
    a full wavelength for both light waves and water waves.

    Question 7 :
    We are making changes to the lab and would like your input. Why did you like/dislike the experiment you
    selected in Question 5/6 ?
    Answer:
    I like the vibrating string experiment as it is easy to understand and at resonant frequency standing waves
    formed which is an excitement when I observed and it almost tell us the theoretical resonant frequency. The
    other experiment I most dislike is no 9. Because in this I have to focus the light on the mirror, and made the
    alignment and find out the focal point etc. I am getting bored in such like experiment and it give me no
    excitement.
