An investigator is using a laser to illuminate a distant target. He decides that he needs a smaller beam, so he puts a pinhole directly in front of the laser. He finds that this actually spreads the beam out, making matters worse. Explain what is happening.

a. The pinhole has a size comparable with the laser wavelength, so the pinhole refracts the passing laser beam.
b. The pinhole has a size smaller than the laser wavelength, so the pinhole refracts the passing laser beam.
c. The pinhole has a size smaller than the laser wavelength, so the pinhole diffracts the passing laser beam.
d. The pinhole has a size comparable with the laser wavelength, so the pinhole diffracts the passing laser beam.

Astudent throws a water balloon with speed v0 from a height h = 1.76 m at an angle θ = 21° above the horizontal toward a target on the ground. the target is located a horizontal distance d = 9.5 m from the student’s feet. assume that the balloon moves without air resistance. use a cartesian coordinate system with the origin at the balloon's initial position. (a) what is the position vector, rtarge t, that originates from the balloon's original position and terminates at the target? put this in terms of h and d, and represent it as a vector using i and j. (b) in terms of the variables in the problem, determine the time, t, after the launch it takes the balloon to reach the target. your answer should not include h. (c) create an expression for the balloon's vertical position as a function of time, y(t), in terms of t, vo, g, and θ. (d) determine the magnitude of the balloon's initial velocity, v0, in meters per second, by eliminating t from the previous two expressions.
