In Fig. 35-39, two isotropic point sources S1 and S2 emit light in phase at wavelength l and at the same amplitude. The sources are separated by distance 2d ! 6.00l. They lie on an axis that is parallel to an x axis, which runs along a viewing screen at distance D ! 20.0l. The origin lies on the perp

Election Prediction Exit polling is a popular technique used to determine the outcome of an election prior to results being tallied. Suppose a referendum to increase funding for education is on the ballot in a large town (voting population over 100,000). An exit poll of 310 voters finds that 164 vot

Consider a region with a single factory city that developed as a result of scale economies in production. Consider the effects of a new matter transmitter, which can instantly transport goods (but not people) from the factory to any consumer up to 12 miles away, with a zero marginal cost of transport
