Round 8: Tossup 7

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