Answer:

constructive interference in which waves strengthen each other

Explanation:

Some definitions:

- Costructive interference occurs when two (or more) waves meet each other in phase, so with same displacement at the same point. In such situation, the two waves strengthen each other, and the amplitude of the resultant wave is the sum of the amplitudes of the individual waves

- Destructive interference occurs when two waves meet each other in anti-phase, so with opposite displacement at the same point. In such situation, the two waves cancel each other out, and the amplitude of the resultant wave is the difference of the amplitudes of the individual waves (which means zero if the two waves are identical)

For light waves interfering with each other, 'white' means costructive interference, while 'black' means destructive interference (because black is absence of colors, so this means that the waves cancel each other out). In this problem, we see that point X, Y and X are white, therefore they are point of constructive interference, where the waves strengthen each other.

A student constructed a series circuit consisting of a 12.0-volt battery, a 10.0-ohm lamp, and a

Zolol [24]

Considering the unknown resistence as R and using the Ohm's First Law, we have:

$i= \frac{V}{R_{eq}} \\ 0.5= \frac{12}{R+10} \\ R+10=24 \\ R=14-Ohm$

The equivalent resistence is given by the resistor series with the lamp resistence.

$R_{eq}=R+10 \\ R_{eq}=14+10 \\ \boxed {R_{eq}=24-Ohm}$

Regardless of the time of year, the northern and southern hemispheres always experience opposite seasons. This is because during summer or winter, one part of the planet is more directly exposed to the rays of the Sun than the other, and this exposure alternates as the Earth revolves in its orbit.

What is temperature? <br>how temperature can be measured

german

Answer:

Temperature is the kinetic energy of the particles of a substance.

Explanation:

The more kinetic energy a particle has the higher it's temperature. In the case of the atmosphere, which is what we are primarily concerned with in Meteorology, we measure this using a mercury thermometer (in certain situations we use an alcohol thermometer and of course modern times have given us things like dewcells and digital thermometers but we always go back to the mercury thermometer for accuracy).
