Two light waves, initially emitted in phase, will interfere constructively with maximum amplitude if the path-length difference

777dan777 [17]

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.

The acceleration due to gravity, g , is constant at sea level on the Earth's surface. However, the acceleration decreases as an

blsea [12.9K]

Answer:

g = g₀ [1- 2 h / Re + 3 (h / Re)²]

Explanation:

The law of universal gravitation is

F = G m Me / Re²

Where g is the universal gravitational constant, m and Me are the mass of the body and the Earth, respectively and R is the distance between them

F = G Me /Re² m

We call gravity acceleration a

g₀ = G Me / Re².

When the body is at a height h above the surface the distance is

R = Re + h

Therefore the attractive force is

F = G Me m / (Re + h)²

Let's take Re's common factor

F = G Me / Re² m / (1+ h / Re)²

As Re has a value of 6.37 10⁶ m and the height of the body in general is less than 10⁴ m, the h / Re term is very small, so we can perform a series expansion

(1+ h / Re)⁻² = 1 -2 h / Re + 6/2 (h / Re) 2 + ...

Let's replace

F = G Me /Re² m [1- 2 h / Re + 3 (h / Re)²]

F = g₀ m [1- 2 h / Re + 3 (h / Re)²]

If we call the force of attraction at height

m g =g₀ m [1- 2 h / Re + 3 (h / Re)²]

g = g₀ [1- 2 h / Re + 3 (h / Re)²]

The element selenium (Se) bonds with chlorine (Cl) to make the formula SeCl2 Chlorine is more electronegative than selenium. Wha

Akimi4 [234]

Answer:

Selenium dichloride

Explanation:

Selenium (Se) and Chlorine (Cl) are both elements capable of combining together to form a compound with the chemical formula; SeCl2. Since the chlorine atom is more electronegative than selenium atom, the chlorine pulls more electrons towards itself to form an IONIC bond.

The SeCl2 compound formed is called Selenium dichloride as two atoms of Chlorine are needed to combine with one atom of Selenium to form the compound.

HELP PLZ!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Sophie [7]

Answer:

Since binary is only 1 and 0, you can use a flashlight to display something similar to Morse code (see explanation below)

Explanation:

In binary, 1 means "on" and 0 means "off". A way you can use visible light is through turning on and off a flashlight. If the flashlight is turned on, it would represent a 1. If the flashlight is turned off, it would represent a 0. To make the message easier and more accurately understood for the receiver make sure to flash the lights in a consistent pattern (ex. each flash lasts no longer than half a second, one second between each digit, etc.)

For example, let's say you're trying to send the message "11001"

on on off off on

0 1 2 3 4 5 <em>Numbers represent seconds</em>

As you can see above the message starts at 0 seconds. Between 0 and 1 seconds the flashlight is turned on once. Between 1 and 2 seconds the flashlight is turned on again, Between 2 and 3 seconds as well as 3 and 4 seconds the flashlight is not turned on at all. And finally between 4 and 5 seconds the flashlight is turned on.

If one of two interacting charges is doubled, the force between the charges will _____________.

malfutka [58]

If one of two interacting charges is doubled, the force between the charges will double.

Explanation:

The force between two charges is given by Coulomb's law

$F=\frac{k q1 q2}{r^{2}}$

K=constant= 9 x 10⁹ N m²/C²

q1= charge on first particle

q2= charge on second particle

r= distance between the two charges

Now if the first charge is doubled,

we get $F'=\frac{k (2q1) q2}{r^{2}}$

F'= 2 F

Thus the force gets doubled.
