What is meant by constructive and destructive interference

Physics
1 answer:
LenaWriter [7]3 years ago
6 0
In waveform physics, constructive and destructive interference describes the way two different waves interact with one another. If two waves are aligned such that the peaks of both are in the same spot, the waves experience constructive interference - the two add together and become a single, more powerful wave. The opposite happens if the peak of one meets the trough of the other - the two cancel each other out, and the magnitude of the combined wave is lesser than the individual waves. There are also other, more complex versions of interference if they don’t align cleanly, but the most common descriptions of interference are the ones described above.

Hope this helps!

Marta_Voda [28]

Answer:

% reduction in area = 54.26 %

percentage elongation = 43.16 %

Explanation:

a) percentage reduction in area = \frac{(A_1 - A_2)}{A_1 } * 100

A_1  =\pi r^2 = \pi * 5.88^2=108.8 mm2

A_2=\pi * 3.98^2= 49.97 mm2

% reduction in area =\frac{(108.8 - 49.97)}{108.8} * 100 = 54.26 %

b)percentage elongation = \frac{(66 - 46.1)}{46.1} *100 = 43.16 %

Does research lessen its value for its being cyclical? Enumerate Two Possible advantages of a cyclical research
Tanya [424]

Answer:

Research usually is a cyclical process because it starts with a problem and ends with a problem.

This is bad or lessens the value of the research?

No, because there are problems that in nature are cyclical, (for example the related ones to action research).

And it also may be a good thing, solving one "problem" leads to another problem, but in the process of solving the first one we may win a lot of knowledge, and the same happens with the next one, and so on.

Two possible advantages of cyclical research are:

Knowing beforehand that the research will be cyclical, will allow us to estimate better the amount of time and money needed because we already know (more or less) where to aim.

It also may lead to a better end product, as we already know that we must focus in solving one thing and then we can focus in the next one.

Another possible advantage may be that we know that after the work, there will be a new thing to research, and it is fun, so if you are curious enough this may be a good thing (especially in scientific areas, physics, chemistry, etc).

What is the term for hardening or curing the sealant or composite material by exposing the material to a curing light?
natka813 [3]

Answer:

Photopolymerization is the term for hardening or curing the sealant or composite material by exposing the material to a curing light

Explanation:

It the process through which a photopolymer reacts to the radiations in presence of the Ultra-violet light. Photopolymers refers to those materials and liquid or the plastic resins that are hardened in presence of light source such as the lasers or the lamps. When these materials are irradiated, they undergo chemical reactions and they are hardened and become solid, and hence the process called photopolymerization. Photopolymerization is majorly used in the coating and printing industries and in also in dentistry to fill the top of teeth and prevent the cavities
