Two light waves will interfere constructively if the path-length difference between them is a whole number.

<h3>SUPERPOSITION</h3>

The principle of superposition state that, when two or more waves meet at a point, the resultant displacement at that point is equal to the sum of the displacements of the individual waves at that point.

Interference of waves can either be constructive, or destructive.

The two light waves, initially emitted in phase, will interfere constructively with maximum amplitude if the path-length difference between them is a whole number of wavelenght 1λ, 2λ, 3λ, 4λ etc

The equivalent phase differences between the waves will be 2\pi or 360 degrees, 4\pi or 720 degrees, 6\pi 1080 degrees etc

Therefore, the two light waves, initially emitted in phase, will interfere constructively with maximum amplitude if the path-length difference between them is a whole number.

Maru [420]

Myopia

Explanation:

myopia is a common vision condition in which you can see objects near to you clearly, but objects farther away are blurry. It occurs when the shape of your eye causes light rays to refract incorrectly, focusing images in front of your retina instead of on your retina. It can be corrected corrected with eyeglasses, contact lenses or refractive surgery.

The acceleration due to gravity on the moon is about 1/6 of the acceleration due to gravity on the earth. A net force F acts hor
uysha [10]

Answer:

c.a_m

Explanation:

We are given that

Acceleration due to gravity on the moon=a_m

Acceleration due to gravity on the earth=a_e

g_m=\frac{1}{6}g_e

Net force due to am on an object on moon=F_{net}=ma_m

There is no friction and no drag force and there is no gravity involved

Then, the force acting on an object on earth=F=ma_e

F=F_{net}(given)

ma_m=ma_e

a_e=a_m

Hence, option c is true.

In Millikan's experiment, an oil drop of radius 1.362 μm and density 0.888 g/cm3 is suspended in chamber C when a downward-point
Misha Larkins [42]

Answer:

The charge on the oil drop is 3e

Explanation:

F = qE

Where;

F is the applied force in Newton

E is the electric field potential N/C

q is charge in C

Given;

Radius, r = 1.362 μm = 1.362 X 10⁻⁶ m

density, ρ = 0.888 g/cm³ = 0.888 X 10³ kg/m³

Electric field potential = 1.92 ✕ 10⁵ N/C

F =mg

mass of the oil drop = density, ρ  X volume of the oil drop

volume of the oil drop (spherical) =  (4/3)πr³ = 1.3333π(1.362 X 10⁻⁶)³

⇒ volume of the oil drop = 10.584 X 10⁻¹⁸ m³

mass of the oil drop = 0.888 X 10³ (kg/m³) X 10.584 X 10⁻¹⁸ (m³)

⇒ mass of the oil drop = 9.399 X 10⁻¹⁵ kg

⇒ F =mg = 9.399 X 10⁻¹⁵ kg X 9.8 = 9.21 X10⁻¹⁴ N

F = qE

q = F/E

q = (9.21 X10⁻¹⁴)/(1.92 ✕ 10⁵) = 4.797 X 10⁻¹⁹ C

In terms of e

1e = 1.6 X10⁻¹⁹ C

=  (4.797 X 10⁻¹⁹ C)/(1.6 X10⁻¹⁹ C) = 3e

Therefore, the charge on the oil drop is 3e

A train starts from rest and travels for 5.0 s with a uniform acceleration of 1.5 m/s2. What is the final velocity of the train?
alexandr1967 [171]

Answer:

Final speed of the train is 7.5 m/s

Explanation:

It is given that,

Uniform acceleration of the train is, a = 1.5 m/s²

It starts from rest and travels for 5.0 s. We have to find the final velocity of the train. By using first equation of motion as :

v=u+at

Here, train starts from rest so, u = 0

v=0+1.5\ m/s^2\times 5\ s  

v = 7.5 m/s

So, the final velocity of the train is 7.5 m/s. Hence, this is the required solution.
