Wave interference is the phenomenon that occurs when two waves meet while traveling along the same medium. The interference of waves causes the medium to take on a shape that results from the net effect of the two individual waves upon the particles of the medium.

Hope this helps!

Explanation:

Interference: It is the phenomenon in which there is a superposition of the waves occur to form a resultant wave. The interference can be : Destructive and constructive depending on the amplitude of the resulting wave.

The amplitude of the resulting wave can be maximum and minimum.

When the amplitude of the resulting wave is minimum then the destructive interference will occur in this case. When the amplitude of the resulting wave is maximum then the constructive interference will occur.

Therefore, when two light waves travelling from the same direction of displacement meet then interference will occur.

Answer:

$x =\frac{-R}{2}$

Explanation:

From the question we are told that mass

Thin layer radius $= 2R$

Generally the expression for ths solution is given as

Xcm =(m*0 =m(-2R))/2m =-mR/(2m)=-R/2

the center of mass will not move at initial state

Considering the center of mass of both bodies

$xcm=\frac{m*x+m*x)}{2m} =x$

$x =\frac{-R}{2}$

Therefore the enclosing layer moves $x =\frac{-R}{2}$

The correct answer is number of oscillations in a given period of time

This is measured in what is called the Hertz measurement and the period of time is usually taken to be per second.

wel

Answer:

0.687 m/s

Explanation:

Initial energy = final energy

1/2 mu² = mgh + 1/2 mv²

1/2 u² = gh + 1/2 v²

Given u = 2.00 m/s, g = 9.8 m/s², and h = 0.180 m:

1/2 (2.00 m/s)² = (9.8 m/s²) (0.180 m) + 1/2 v²

v = 0.687 m/s
