Light Waves!
DIRECTIONS: Solve the following questions. Show your solution in the box after each
question and box your final answers.
1. What is the condition for path difference between two coherent monochromatic light
sources to occur constructively? For the light to occur destructively?
2. Two identical monochromatic sources A and B are placed along the x-axis. The
separation distance between the two sources is 7.0 m and the wavelength of the
sources is 8.0 m. At what distance from source A will a constructive interference occur?
3. In a two-slit experiment, a monochromatic light source of wavelength 300 nm is used

to illuminate the two slits with slit separation of 0.50 mm. If the distance between the
two slits and the screen is 60 cm. What is the distance between the 2nd and 3rd dark
fringes?
4. A monochromatic light with wavelength 540 nm is used to illuminate a slit and causes
a diffraction pattern to appear in the screen 5.0 m away from the slit. What is the slit
width if the distance from the center of the first central maxima to the first minima is 14
mm?
Specific Week: 4 (LAS 3)

Target Competencies: Determine the conditions (superposition, path and phase difference, polarization,
amplitude) for interference to occur emphasizing the properties of a laser as a monochromatic and coherent light
source (STEM_GP12OPTIVf-32); Relate the geometry of the two-slit experiment set up (slit separation, and
screen-to-slit distance) and properties of light (wavelength) to the properties of the interference pattern (width,
location, and intensity) (STEM_GP12OPTIVf-33). Relate the geometry of the diffraction experiment setup (slit
size, and screen- to-slit distance) and properties of light (wavelength) to the properties of the diffraction pattern
(width, location, and intensity of the fringes) (STEM_GP12OPTIVF-35)

Special Theory of Relativity

Part A: Conceptual Understanding
Directions: Answer the following conceptual questions. Write your answers in the box
provided.
1. Frame A is stationary. A ball is fired in the x-direction with a speed of 5 m/s. If Frame
B is moving along the same direction as the ball with a speed of 11 m/s, in which
reference frame is the ball moving faster?
2. A spaceship moving away with a speed of 0.6c fires a light beam to a ground observer.
How fast is the light moving towards the ground observer?
3. In stationary frame A two identical clocks that are synchronized were placed in two
different positions. A clock inside a moving spacecraft in frame B reads the same time
as it moves past the first clock in frame A. Would the clock reading in frame B as it
passes the second clock in frame A, be earlier, same, or later than the time in frame
A?
4. Your friend Dan flies from Manila to Cebu and measures the distance between the two
cities using the equation d = vt. On the other hand, you measured the distance on the
ground using surveying apparatus and meterstick. Is the measurement made by your
friend shorter or longer than your measurement?
5. Matthew is traveling inside a spacecraft with speed 0.7c, was seen by Jan who is at
rest at the earth’s ground. By the time Matthew passes over Jan’s position, Jan
measured the length of the spacecraft. Is the length of the spacecraft longer, shorter
or the same to Jan’s reference as compared to Matthew’s reference frame?
Specific Week: 4 and 5 (LAS 3)

Target Competencies: State the postulates of Special Relativity and their consequences (STEM_GP12MP-IVg-39)

PART B. Word Problems

Directions: Solve the following problems. Write your solution and answer on the box provided.
1. A soccer team trains in the soccer stadium in preparation for their upcoming
competition. One of the members kicks the ball to his colleague, and the time in
between the kick and receive was measured to have occurred in 0.89 s. If an observer
flying above the stadium with a speed of 0.6 times the speed of light. What is the time
between the two events as seen by the observer?
2. A ground observer made a measurement on a wooden box and the length was found
to be 2.3 m. At what speed (in terms of c) is the wooden box moving if the proper length
of the wooden box is 2.5 m?
3. A particle was made to accelerate to a speed of 0.7c inside a particle accelerator. The
mass of the particle was measured to be approximately equal to a mass of a proton,
that is 1.67 x 10-27 kg. What is the magnitude of the particle’s relativistic momentum?

Target Competencies: State the postulates of Special Relativity and their consequences (STEM_GP12MP-IVg-39); Apply
the time dilation, length contraction and relativistic velocity addition to worded problems

4. A particle has a mass of 0.3 times the mass of an electron. It is made to move at a
speed of 0.65c. What is the particle’s rest energy and total energy?
5. A spacecraft moving relative to the earth has a velocity of 0.8c. An observer

in the spacecraft pitches a football forward with a velocity relative to the car
at 0.3c. What is the velocity of the football relative to a ground-based
observer?

Target Competencies: Apply the time dilation, length contraction and relativistic velocity addition to worded problems,
Calculate kinetic energy, rest energy, momentum, and speed of objects moving with speeds comparable to the speed of
light (STEM_GP12MP-IVg-42)
