Answer:

It's C

Explanation:

Since E ∝ amplitude2 then as the amplitude is halved the energy is quartered.

Plugging in to check

amplitude2=E

For a simple harmonic motion energy is given with:
E=\frac{1}{2}kA^2
Where k is a constant that depends on the type of the wave you are looking at and A is amplitude.
Let's calculate the energy of the wave using two different amplitudes given in the problem:
E_1=\frac{1}{2}k(1)^2=\frac{1}{2}k\\E_2=\frac{1}{2}k(2)^2=\frac{4}{2}k=2k\\
We can see that energy associated with the wave is 4 times smaller when we decrease its amplitude by half. So the answer should be C.

I’m deciding between E or D.. because for E it’s saying it’s changing ocean currents, but I’m thinking does that mean the earths precipitation or their climate. Best go with E, hope this helps

Nearly monochromatic light of wavelength 420 nm is split in two beams. The first beam traveled 105 nm to the screen more than th
leva [86]

Answer:

phase difference = π / 2

constructive interference

Explanation:

Given data

wavelength = 420 nm

1st beam = 105 nm

path difference = 105 nm

to find out

phase difference  and interference pattern of the two beams

solution

we use here equation of phase difference that is

phase difference = 2π / wavelength × Δx

put here value

phase difference = 2π / 420 × 105

phase difference = π / 2

and

we know that  here path difference Δx is the integral multiple of the wavelength  so it will be constructive interference

Δx is wavelength / 4
