(C3 question). Find an expression for all stationary points on the curve y=sin(x)cos(x). How many such points are there and why?

Stationary points are points at which the gradient of the curve is zero. The gradient is given by dy/dx so we start by computing this using product rule to give us dy/dx=-sin 2 x+cos 2 x. Notice that this is...

An electromagnetic wave has a wavelength of 3.0m and a speed of 3x10^8 m/s. State what type of radiation this wave is and calculate the period of the wave.

For the first part we know that the wavelength is over 1.0 m so it is a radio wave.To find the period we first find the frequency as the period is the reciprical of the frequency. (T = 1/f).To find the frequ...
