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

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.

In preparation for the final exam, our astronomy study group has reconvened to discuss Mercury's unique orbital properties. They
grigory [225]

Answer:

The only incorrect statement is from student B

Explanation:

The planet mercury has a period of revolution of 58.7 Earth days and a rotation period around the sun of 87 days 23 ha, approximately 88 Earth days.

Let's examine student claims using these rotation periods

Student A. The time for 4 turns around the sun is

           t = 4 88

           t = 352 / 58.7 Earth days

In this time I make as many rotations on itself each one with a time to = 58.7 Earth days

           #_rotaciones = t / to

           #_rotations = 352 / 58.7

           #_rotations = 6

therefore this statement is TRUE

student B. the planet rotates 6 times around the Sun

          t = 6 88

          t = 528 s

The number of rotations on itself is

           #_rotaciones = t / to

           #_rotations = 528 / 58.7

           #_rotations = 9

False, turn 9 times

Student C. 8 turns around the sun

           t = 8 88

           t = 704 days

the number of turns on itself is

            #_rotaciones = t / to

            #_rotations = 704 / 58.7

            #_rotations = 12

True

The only incorrect statement is from student B

If there is an object in top of another object, why does the upper object exert a downward normal force?​
rusak2 [61]

Answer:

This is because normal force is exerted perpendicularly to the point of contact between the upper and lower objects.  

Explanation:

This is because the upper object is still subject to gravitational pull. Therefore, the amount of force it exerts on the lower object due to gravity will be equal to the normal force that acts in the negative direction of gravitational force. Additionally, normal force is evident because the upper object will not go into the lower object.

Which statement describes how work and power are similar?
postnew [5]
The statement that describes how work and power are similar is D. you must know time and energy to calculate both.
I am not completely sure though, so I hope this helps. :)
