single wedge-it has only one sloping surface double wedge-it has more than one sloping surface
Intensity of rings formed depends on thickness of air column between the lens and glass plate.And the locus of points having same thickness of air column above it is a circle with its center as the point of contact between the glass plate and lens.
a Ax,nail,door stopper,and the back of a hammer are examples of a wedge.
Salt wedge is a type of estuary having fresh water on the surface and salted water at the bottom.
IF you are referring to diagrams in textbooks, for example, the wedge cut-out is to show the internal components of the nucleus of a cell. built4hurricanes
you divide the length of the wegde's thickness
A thin film having zero thickness at one end and progressively increasing thickness at other end is called a wedge shaped film
decreases
In air wedge there is uniform separation between the two slabes but in Newtons ring the thickness is varying
MA= resistance force / effort force = Fr/Fe
because the thickness of air film is parallel to the edge
The Wedge is a device that tapers to a thin edge, usually made of metal or wood, and used for splitting, lifting, or tightening, such as to secure a hammer head onto its handle. The wedge is considered one of the six simple machines. Wedges have been used since prehistoric times to split logs and rocks; for rocks, wooden wedges, caused to swell by wetting, have been used. In terms of its mechanical function, the screw may be thought of as a wedge wrapped around a cylinder.
Wedge- M.A= LENGTH/THICKNESS OF THE BASE Screw-M.A= CIRCUMFERENCE OF THE CIRCLE / HEIGHT OF THE SCREW Lever-M.A= LOAD/EFFORT
With a prism. Light striking the prism is of different wavelenghts. These corrospond to the thickness of the wedge splitting the colors out of the source. They can be put back together with another prism.
Each fringe in the pattern is produced by the interference of light rays reflected from sections of the wedge having same thickness.The locus of points having the same thickness lies along lines parallel to the contact edge.So fringes are straight.
Utility wedge. Similar to a gap wedge or approach wedge.
It is a wedge.
