What happens to the amplitude of the resultant wave when two sound waves with equal amplitude constructively interfere?

Constructive interference means that the waves combine instead of negate. if they are both amplitude x, adding them together would result in 2x, or doubling the amplitude of one of the waves

Answer:

The amplitude of the resultant wave will be twice the amplitude of each wave

Explanation:

- Constructive interference occurs when two waves meet in phase (\theta=0^{\circ}, which means that the crest of a wave meets the crest of the other wave: in this case, the amplitude of the resultant wave is the sum of the amplitudes of the single waves

- Destructive interference occurs when the two waves meet in anti-phase (\theta=180^{\circ}, which means that the crest of a wave meets the trough of the other wave: in this case, the amplitude of the resultant wave is the difference between the amplitudes of the single wave

In this problem, we have constructive interference between the two waves: this means that the resultant amplitude is the sum of the two waves. Since the two waves have equal amplitude (we can call it A), the resultant amplitude will be

R= A+A=2 A

so, twice the amplitude of the single wave.

A student falls off a cliff into the lake 54.0 m below. What is the final velocity of the student?
Vladimir79 [104]

Answer:

v_{y} = -32.53 m / s

this velocity is directed downwards

Explanation:

This is a free fall exercise, let's use the expression

         v_{y}^{2} = v_{oy}^{2} + 2 g (y -yo)

where we are assuming that there is friction with the air, as the body falls its initial velocity is zero

         v_{oy} = √ 2g (y - y₀)

let's calculate

         v_{y} = √ (2 9.8 (0-54.0))

         v_{y} = -32.53 m / s

this velocity is directed downwards

A bottle lying on the windowsill falls off and takes 4.95 seconds to reach the ground. The distance from the windowsill to the g
mr Goodwill [35]

The distance an object falls from rest through gravity is

                         D  =  (1/2) (g) (t²)

            Distance  =  (1/2 acceleration of gravity) x (square of the falling time)

We want to see how the time will be affected
if  ' D ' doesn't change but ' g ' does.
So I'm going to start by rearranging the equation
to solve for ' t '.

                                                      D  =  (1/2) (g) (t²)

Multiply each side by  2 :         2 D  =            g    t² 

Divide each side by ' g ' :      2 D/g =                  t²

Square root each side:        t = √ (2D/g)


Looking at the equation now, we can see what happens
to ' t ' when only ' g ' changes: 

-- ' g ' is in the denominator; so bigger 'g' ==> shorter 't'
                                             and smaller 'g' ==> longer 't' .

-- They don't change by the same factor, because  1/g  is inside
the square root.  So 't' changes the same amount as  √1/g  does.

Gravity on the surface of the moon is roughly  1/6  the value
of gravity on the surface of the Earth.

So we expect ' t ' to increase by  √6  =  2.45 times.

It would take the same bottle  (2.45 x 4.95) = 12.12 seconds
to roll off the same window sill and fall 120 meters down to the
surface of the Moon.

A parallel plate capacitor is created by placing two large square conducting plates of length and width 0.1m facing each other,
borishaifa [10]

Answer:

8.854 pF

Explanation:

side of plate = 0.1 m ,

d = 1 cm = 0.01 m,

V = 5 kV = 5000 V

V' = 1 kV = 1000 V

Let K be the dielectric constant.

So, V' = V / K

K = V / V' = 5000 / 1000 = 5

C = ε0 A / d = 8.854 x 10^-12 x 0.1 x 0.1 / 0.01 = 8.854 x 10^-12 F

C = 8.854 pF

Rasek [7]
The statement "<span>The maximum intensity increases, and the peak wavelength decreases."</span> is true regarding how black body radiation changes as the temperature of the radiating object increases. Temperature is directly proportional to intensity but inversely proportional to the wavelength.
