SOMEBODY HELP! can someone explain the head and tail rule, and also how to find the frequency of a wave using CRO!

join the arrows of the forces given in a way that they are scaled and in the right order of movement and then draw a third arrow (resultant) from the tail of the first arrow to the head of the second one.... just like u do in vectors

and the cro?

Yes, I do get the electrical potential energy part.
Although, I'm not sure when to use both masses as in GMm/r or to just use one mass as in GM/r. Sometimes, when planets are involved they just want you to use one mass.
But thank you so much. :) It helped a lot and Jazak Allahu Khairan.

u use both masses when they tell u to calculate potential ENERGY
u use 1 mass when they tell u 2 calculate potential.

remember : potential = potential energy/ mass

Here, you calculated energy as 1.51 x 10^-47 Joules but isn't that the gravitational potential, not energy. Because then to get energy you would need to multiply this energy by a mass. Right? And what's the difference between electric potential and electrical potential energy?

No, it would have been gravitational potential if I had used only mass of α nucleus. [potential = GM/R]
but since i used both the masses, it is gravitational potential ENERGY

diff btw electric potential energy n electric potential is the same
electric potential = electric potential energy / charge

Can some one please post the physics formula sheet here...
Also is its possible can some one please explain uncertainity and it's usage by formula

Principle of superposition = when 2 or more waves meet at a point, the resultant displacement is the sum of the displacements of the individual waves.
White light produced ---> maxima is formed at that point
maxima is only formed when constructive interference takes place.
So, the waves coinciding at that point have the same path difference ---> the waves r in phase.
Hope u gt it!

Got it.But you didn't explain the part that came after this.Red and blue light wala.
