Ablock is attached to a horizontal spring and oscillates back and forth on a frictionless horizontal surface at a frequency of 4.42 hz. the amplitude of the motion is 8.26 x 10-2 m. at the point where the block has its maximum speed, it suddenly splits into two identical parts, only one part remaining attached to the spring.
(a) what is the amplitude and
(b) the frequency of the simple harmonic motion that exists after the block splits?

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.
