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.

Gennadij [26K]

Answer:

E- The star becomes a red giant (LATEST STAGE)

F- The surface of the star becomes brighter and cooler

C- Pressure from the star's hydrogen-burning shell causes the non burning envelope to expand

A- The shell of hydrogen surrounding the star's nonburning helium core ignites.

D- The star's non burning helium core starts to contract and heat up

B- Pressure in the star's core decreases (EARLIEST STAGE)

(A star moves away from the main sequence once its core runs out of hydrogen to fuse into helium. The energy once supplied by hydrogen burning reduces and the core starts to compress under the force of gravity. This contraction allows the core and surrounding layers to heat up. Finally, the hydrogen shell around the core becomes hot enough to ignite hydrogen burning.

How can we realize that light travel in straight line ?​
Norma-Jean [14]

Answer:

It can be seen from the operation of pin-hole camera, formation of shadows and eclipse.

Explanation:

The phenomenon of light traveling in a straight line is known as rectilinear propagation of light.

One this evidence can be seen from the operation of pin-hole camera, which depends on rectilinear propagation of light

Also two natural effects that result from the rectilinear propagation of light are the formation of Shadows and Eclipse.

klemol [59]

Answer:

3.62m/s and 2.83m/s

Explanation:

Apply conservation of momentum

For vertical component,

Pfy = Piy

m* Vof (sin38) - m*Vgf (sin52) = 0

Divide through by m

Vof(sin38) - Vgf(sin52) = 0

Vof(sin38) = Vgf(sin52)

Vof (sin38/sin52) = Vgf

0.7813Vof = Vgf

For horizontal component

Pxf= Pxi

m* Vof (cos38) - m*Vgf (cos52) = m*4.6

Divide through by m

Vof(cos38) + Vgf(cos52) = 4.6

Recall that

0.7813Vof = Vgf

Vof(cos38) + 0.7813 Vof(cos52) = 4.6

0.7880Vof + 0.4810Vof = 4.

1.269Vof = 4.6

Vof = 4.6/1.269

Vof = 3.62m/s

Recall that

0.7813Vof = Vgf

Vgf = 0.7813 * 3.62

Vgf = 2.83m/s
