Physics 1252 Exam #2B Thu, 17 March 2016 Name: Physics 1252 Exam #2B Instructions: This is a closed-book, closed-notes exam. You are allowed to use a clean print-out of your formula sheet, any scientific calculator, and a ruler. Do not write on your formula sheet, except for your name: it must be handed in, signed but clean, with your exam. There is space after each question to show your work; if you need more space, you may use the back of the page, or request more paper. Please clearly indicate where your work for each problem is. Underline or draw a box around your final answer. The exam consists of four sections. Read all the questions at the start so that you can allocate your time wisely. Do easy ones first! You may not share your calculator. The use of cell phones or any other electronic devices (besides calculators) is prohibited. All such gadgets must be turned off and put away throughout the exam. • Do not open the exam until told to begin. • You have the one entire class period to finish the exam. • Put your last name on every page of the exam and on the formula sheet. • You must provide explanations and/or show work legibly to receive full credit for Sections II and III. • Make sure that your answers include appropriate units and significant digits. (Note: For intermediate steps in your calculation, it’s best to carry more significant digits.) • Fundamental constants and unit prefixes are on the Formula Sheet, last page. By signing below, you indicate that you understand the instructions for this exam and agree to abide by them. You also certify that you will personally uphold the university’s standards of academic honesty for this exam, and will not tolerate any violations of these standards by others. Unsigned exams will not be graded. Signature: UGACard #: c 2016 University of Georgia. Unauthorized duplication or distribution prohibited.

Copyright 4 Physics 1252 Exam #2B Thu, 17 March 2016 Name: II: Electric Field from Point Charges (35 points) Three point charges of unknown charge amounts, Q1 , Q2 , Q3 , are positioned at various un~o ≡ known locations in the x-y-plane. They jointly produce a net electric field vector E [Eo,x , Eo,y , Eo,z ] with components Eo,x = +6.0N/C, Eo,y = −7.0N/C, Eo,z = 0, at an observation point, P ≡ (xP , 0, 0) with xP = +3m, on the x-axis. A fourth point charge, Q4 = −24nC, is now added, placed on the x-axis at x4 = −1m and all ~ = [Ex , Ey , Ez ]. four point charges, Q1 , Q2 , Q3 , Q4 , then jointly produce a net electric field, E ~ o . Also (a) Draw this: big, on full blank page attached! Show: x-axis, y-axis, Q4 , P , and E ~ 4 , produced by Q4 at P . Draw both E ~ o and E ~ 4 with their tail show field contribution E ends attached to P . It does not have to be to scale, but all vectors must point into the correct quadrant or along the correct coordinate axis direction. ~ at P ; its strength, |E|; ~ and its angle, θ, measured from (b) Calculate the components of E ~ the +x-direction, with θ > 0 if E points above the x-axis, else θ < 0. ~ in the drawing from (a), as the resultant in a vector addition Then also show E parallelogram. (c) Now Q4 is removed again and a muon is placed at point P and then released, to accelerate subject to the electric field produced by the other three point charges. A muon is a sub-atomic particle carrying the same charge as an electron, but with a mass of 1.88 × 10−28 kg. Find the muon’s acceleration, ~a, immediately after its release at P . State the magnitude of the acceleration, |~a|, and its angle, φ, measured from the +x-direction, with φ > 0 if ~a points above the x-axis, else φ < 0. Then also show ~a in the drawing from (a), correctly aligned with the relevant electric field vector. c 2016 University of Georgia.

Copyright 6 Physics 1252 Exam #2B Thu, 17 March 2016 Name: III: Two-Source Interference (35 points) Two small microwave sources, oscillating at the same frequency and in phase, are positioned 8m to the left of the y-axis, 3cm above and 3cm below the x-axis, respectively. A microwave detector, P , moving up along the y-axis, observes a maximum in microwave intensity at y0 = 0m, and, closest to that, an intensity minimum, at y1/2 = 3.640m, if the experiment is performed in air, with an index of refraction nA = 1.000. (a) Draw this: big, on full blank page attached! Show: x-, y-axes, detector, sources, line connecting sources, observation angle θ, all given distances. It need not to be to scale. Then find the oscillation frequency of the sources. (b) How many intensity maxima, total, and how many intensity minima, total, will the detector observe if it travels upward along the y-axis from very far below (y = −∞) to very far above the x-axis (y = +∞)? (c) If the entire experimental apparatus (sources, detector, and the entire space in between sources and y-axis) is now submerged in a transparent liquid, the intensity minimum, closest to the central maximum, is observed on the y-axis at y1/2 = 2.273m. What is the index of refraction of this liquid for microwaves? Hint: the frequency of the sources, the spacing between them, and their distance from the y-axis is the same as before; but the speed of wave propagation is not. c 2016 University of Georgia.

At a very large initial distance (ri = ∞) from Q4 , the muon’s initial speed is vi = 14, 000m/s. How close to Q4 will the muon get, before it stops? State this distance of closest approach, rf , in units of meters. Hint: To ”stop” means: having a speed vf = 0! c 2016 University of Georgia. Copyright 9
