Show that the irradiance, $I_m$, of the $m^{th}$ subsidiary peak, can be well approximated by $I_m = I(0) \left[ \frac{1}{(m + \frac{1}{2})\pi} \right]^2$

Step 1
Step 1: Start with the formula for the irradiance of the mth subsidiary peak, Im, which is given by Im = I(0) [sin((m + 1/2)θ) / sin(θ)]^2, where θ is the angle between the central peak and the mth subsidiary peak. Show more…

F(x,y) = (4xy^3 + 1)i + (6x^2y^2 + 2e^2y)j is conservative by finding a potential function f for F, and use f to compute ∫_C F · dr, where C is the curve given by r(t) = 2 sin^5 ti + (2t/π) sin^4 5tj for 0 ≤ t ≤ π/2.

Show that the potential representation (Eq. 12.132) automatically satisfies $\partial G^{\mu \nu} / \partial x^{\nu}=0 .[\text {Suggestion: Use Prob. } 12.53 .]$
Find a function f(x,t) that represents a 'gaussian wave', that is a Gaussian type function g(x)=exp[-x^2/2σ^2], but with peak position at x_max = 0 at time t = 0 and x_max = 5 m at time t = 10 s. Verify that your f(x,t) satisfies the wave equation f_tt(x,t) = v^2 f_xx(x,t), by calculating the two second order derivatives. (50 p)
