MCQ
The effective spring constant of two spring system as shown in figure will be
- ✓${K_1} + {K_2}$
- B${K_1}{K_2}/{K_1} + {K_2}$
- C${K_1} - {K_2}$
- D${K_1}{K_2}/{K_1} - {K_2}$
✓
Answer
Correct option: A.
${K_1} + {K_2}$
a
(a)When external force is applied, one spring gets extended and another one gets contracted by the same distance hence force due to two springs act in same direction.
(a)When external force is applied, one spring gets extended and another one gets contracted by the same distance hence force due to two springs act in same direction.
i.e. $F = {F_1} + {F_2}$
==> $ - \,kx = - \,{k_1}x - {k_2}x$
$\Rightarrow $$k = {k_1} + {k_2}$

Wave property of electrons implies that they will show diffraction effects. Davisson and Germer demonstrated this by diffracting electrons from crystals. The law governing the diffraction from a crystal is obtained by requiring that electron waves reflected from the planes of atoms in a crystal interfere constructively (see figure).
