Problem 1: Two sources emit waves that are coherent, in phase, and have wavelengths of 26.0 m. Do the waves interfere constructi
Anton [14]

1) Destructive interference

The condition for constructive interference to occur is:

\delta = m\lambda (1)

where

\delta =|d_1 -d_2| is the path difference, with

d_1 is the distance of the point from the first source

d_2 is the distance of the point from the second source

m is an integer number

\lambda is the wavelength

In this problem, we have

d_1 = 78.0 m\\d_2 = 143 m\\\lambda=26.0 m

So let's use eq.(1) to see if the resulting m is an integer

\delta =|78.0 m-143 m|=65 m\\m=\frac{\delta }{\lambda}=\frac{65 m}{26.0 m}=2.5

It is not an integer so constructive interference does not occur.

Let's now analyze the condition for destructive interference:

\delta = (m+\frac{1}{2})\lambda (2)

If we apply the same procedure to eq.(2), we find

m=\frac{\delta}{\lambda}-\frac{1}{2}=\frac{65.0 m}{26.0 m}-0.5=2

which is an integer: so, this point is a point of destructive interference.

2) Constructive interference

In this case we have

d_1 = 91.0 m\\d_2 =221.0 m

So the path difference is

\delta =|91.0 m-221.0 m|=130.0 m

Using the condition for constructive interference:

m=\frac{\delta }{\lambda}=\frac{130.0 m}{26.0 m}=5

Which is an integer, so this is a point of constructive interference.

3) Destructive interference

In this case we have

d_1 = 44.0 m\\d_2 =135.0 m

So the path difference is

\delta =|44.0 m-135.0 m|=91.0 m

Using the condition for constructive interference:

m=\frac{\delta }{\lambda}=\frac{91.0 m}{26.0 m}=3.5

This is not an integer, so this is not a point of constructive interference.

So let's use now the condition for destructive interference:

m=\frac{\delta}{\lambda}-\frac{1}{2}=\frac{91.0 m}{26.0 m}-0.5=3

which is an integer: so, this point is a point of destructive interference.

Sometimes referred to as the law of inertia. An object at rest stays at rest and an object in motionstays in motion with the sam
Lera25 [3.4K]

Answer:

D

Explanation:

Newtons first law states that if an object is at rest it will stay at rest only if an unbalanced force acts on it. As well as if an object is in motion it will stay in motion unless an unbalanced force acts on it.

Ps- The object will stay moving in the same speed and direction.

People, especially adults, are inactive because of "passive" modes of transportation.
enot [183]

The drop in physical activity is partly due to inaction during leisure time and sedentary behaviour on the job and at home. Likewise, an increase in the use of "passive" modes of transportation also contributes to insufficient physical activity.

After a match has burned which of these is not proof that a chemical reaction occurred?

In my estimation I would say C, I was leaning towards A, but I believe that would merely be "incomplete combustion." I hope this was semi-helpful!

Two lasers are shining on a double slit, with slit separation d. Laser 1 has a wavelength of d/20, whereas laser 2 has a wavelen
Marta_Voda [28]

Answer:

a) that laser 1 has the first interference closer to the central maximum

c) Δy = 0.64 m

Explanation:

The interference phenomenon is described by the expression

         d sin θ = m λ

Where d is the separation of the slits, λ the wavelength and m an integer that indicates the order of interference

For the separation of the lines we use trigonometry

        tan θ = sin θ / cos θ = y / x

In interference experiments the angle is very small

          tan θ = sin θ = y / x

         d y / x = m λ

a) and b) We apply the equation to the first laser

          λ = d / 20

          d y / x = m d / 20

          y = m x / 20

          y = 1 4.80 / 20

          y = 0.24 m

The second laser

        λ = d / 15

          d y / x = m d / 15

          y = m x / 15

          y = 0.32 m

We can see that laser 1 has the first interference closer to the central maximum

c) laser 1

They ask us for the second maximum m = 2

            y₂ = 2 4.8 / 20

            y₂ = 0.48 m

For laser 2 they ask us for the third minimum m = 3

In this case to have a minimum we must add half wavelength

         y₃ = (m + ½) x / 15

         m = 3

         y₃ = (3 + ½) 4.8 / 15

         y₃ = 1.12 m

        Δy = 1.12 - 0.48

        Δy = 0.64 m
