The superposition principle is responsible for alternating light and dark bands when light passes through two or more narrow slits.

The intensity pattern that appears on the lit screen is determined by the superposition principle. When the difference in pathways from the two slits to a location on the screen equals an integral number of wavelengths (0,λ,2λ ,...), constructive interference takes place.

The fact that the two waves' crests follow different paths ensures that they do. A distinctive pattern of brilliant and dark fringes is seen when monochromatic light illuminates a distant screen after passing through two small openings. The superposition of overlapping light waves coming from the two slits results in this interference pattern.

A 150kg person stands on a compression spring with spring constant 10, 000 N/m and norminal.Length of 0.50.What is the togal len
Eva8 [605]

Answer:

Total length of spring 0.647 m

Explanation:

We have given mass of the person m = 150 kg

Acceleration due to gravity g=9.8m/sec^2

Spring constant k = 10000 N/m

Nominal length of spring = 0.50

According to hook's law

mg=kx

150\times 9.8=10000\times x

x = 0.147 m

So total length of spring = 0.50+0.147 = 0.647 m

Match each type of wave to the way it moves. transverse wave longitudinal wave electromagnetic wave back and forth at right angl
marta [7]

Transverse wave = at right angles to the direction of the motion of the wave

in transverse wave medium particles will move perpendicular to the direction of motion of medium particles

they all are perpendicular to wave always

Longitudinal wave = back and forth in the direction of the motion of the wave

in longitudinal waves medium particles will move in the direction of wave and the motion is always in back and forth type

electromagnetic wave = alternating waves moving at right angles to each other

electromagnetic waves are combination of electric field and magnetic field which oscillates perpendicular to wave as well as they are perpendicular to each other

According to the graph above, how large of a force is needed in order to stretch the string 1.00 meters?
gulaghasi [49]

My guess for this one would be; 400 N

My reasoning would be; it starts at 0 on both X and Y, if you need to get to 1.00 meters thats 4/4. 1/4 of 1.00 is .25, and on .25 its on 100 so multiply it by 4 to make 1.00 and you get 400 N
