<span>One of three things the photon passes through unscathed, the photon gets absorbed by the electron of an atom and stays put, or the photon gets absorbed and a second generation photon is generated by that electron</span>

The light waves have that particular interference from question #1 because they are emitted _____.

Elis [28]

I am attaching the rest of your question so it makes sense,
<span>
Since lasers are made from stacking light waves that add together into a larger wave due to CONSTRUCTIVE INTERFERENCE.
</span>
Then, <span>light waves have that constructive interference (from question #1) because they are emitted IN PHASE with each other.

This means that they arrive at the same point of space with the same characteristics and their effects do not cancel each other, but the opposite, their intensity increases.</span>

The answer for the following problem is explained below.

Therefore the volume charge density of a substance (ρ) is 0.04 × $10^{-1}$ C.

Explanation:

Given:

radius (r) =2.1 cm = 2.1 × $10^{-2}$ m

height (h) =8.8 cm = 8.8 × $10^{-2}$ m

total charge (q) =6.1× $10^{-7}$ C

To solve:

volume charge density (ρ)

We know;

<u> ρ =q ÷ v</u>

volume of cylinder = π ×r × r × h

volume of cylinder =3.14 × 2.1 × 2.1 × $10^{-4}$ × 8.8 × $10^{-2}$

volume of cylinder (v) = 122.23 × $10^{-6}$

<u> ρ =q ÷ v</u>

ρ = 6.1× $10^{-7}$ ÷ 122.23 × $10^{-6}$

<u>ρ = 0.04 × </u> $10^{-1}$ <u> C</u>

Therefore the volume charge density of a substance (ρ) is 0.04 × $10^{-1}$ C.

Reduce the friction. Since the total energy is conserved, the only way to improve its work capacity is by reducing energy that doesnt go into work.

Answer:

<u>77.8 m/s, downward</u>

Explanation:

For uniform acceleration motion, the average speed is equal to half the soum of the initial velocity, Vi, and the final velocity, Vf

Average speed = (Vf + Vi)/2

Also, by definition, the average speed is the distance divided by the time:

Average speed = distance / time

Then:

(Vf + Vi)/2 = 300m/6.62s

Other kinematic equation for uniform acceleration is:

Vf = Vi + a×t

Since the window is falling and the air resistance is ignored, a = g (gravitational acceleration ≈ 9.8m/s²)

Replacing the known values we can set a system of two equations:

From (Vf + Vi)/2 = 300m/6.62s

(Vf + Vi) = 2 × 300m/6.62s

Vf + Vi = 90.634 equation 1

From Vf = Vi + a×t

Vf - Vi = 9.8 (6.62)

Vf - Vi = 64.876 equation 2

Adding the two equations:

2Vf = 155.510

Vf = 77.8 m/s downward (velocities must be reported with their directions)
