Round 8: Tossup 7

The outcome of Rutherford scattering depends on a term whose denominator includes this function to the fourth power. A constant times this function of n pi x over L gives wave functions that solve the 1D particle in a box. 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 (-5[1])modeling (*) X-ray diffraction in which 2d times this function equals n (10[1])lambda. (10[1])This function multiplies (10[1])index of refraction (-5[1])on both sides of Snell’s law. (10[1])This function is used to find the component of gravity perpendicular to an inclined plane. For 10 points, what function equals opposite over hypotenuse? ■END■ (10[2])
