Round 8: Tossup 7

A constant times this function of n pi x over L gives wave functions that solve the 1D (-5[1])particle in a box. (-5[1])This function (15[1])is set equal to 1.22 lambda over D then approximated (15[1])to derive the Rayleigh criterion. (15[1])This function appears in solutions to the heat equation for rods where the boundary temperatures are fixed at 0. The Davisson-Germer experiment is explained by a law modeling (*) X-ray diffraction (10[1])in which 2d times this function equals n lambda. This function multiplies index of refraction on both sides of Snell’s law. (10[2])This function is used (-5[1])to find the component of gravity parallel to an inclined plane. For 10 points, what function equals opposite over hypotenuse? ■END■ (10[2])
