Despite the availability of music in digital form, the compact disc, or CD, remains a popular format for music and data. On a CD (as shown), audio information is stored digitally in a series of pits and flat areas on the surface of the disc. The alternations between pits and flat areas on the surface represent binary ones and zeros to be read by the CD player and converted back to sound waves. The pits and flat areas are detected by a system consisting of a laser and lenses. The length of a string of ones and zeros representing one piece of information is the same everywhere on the disc, whether the information is near the center of the disc or near its outer edge. So that this length of ones and zeros always passes by the laser–lens system in the same time interval, the tangential speed of the disc surface at the location of the lens must be constant. According to Equation 10.10, the angular speed must therefore vary as the laser–lens system moves radially along the disc. In a typical…
Two waves travelling in the same direction are given by: y1 = 0.2 sin⁡(2πx-20t+φ) and y2 = 0.2 sin⁡(2πx-20t), where x and y are in meters and t is in seconds. If the two waves start at the same moment, then the path difference, ∆x, corresponding to a fully destructive interference is:
