If two waves with equal amplitude and wavelength travel through a medium such that particular particle is at the crest of one wave and at the trough of another wave, then destructive interference will take place.Both waves will cancel each other out at that point such that a node will form in which the particle will remain at its rest position only and will not move.

Answer:

As per the law of superposition we know that when two waves superimpose at a point on the medium then the resultant displacement of the medium particle is vector sum of the displacement due to each wave.

So here by superposition principle we can write

y_{net} = y_1 + y_2

now here we know that one of the wave reaches with crest while other wave reaches at trough position.

So we will have

y_1 = +A

y_2 = -A

so here by superposition we will have

y_{net} = A - A = 0

so after superposition the medium particle will come to its mean position.

Volume of an block is 5 cm3. If the density of the block is 250 g/cm3, what is the mass of the block ?​
wlad13 [49]

Answer:

The mass of the block is 1250g.

Explanation:

Given that the formula for density is ρ = mass/volume. Then you have to substitute the values into the formula :

ρ =  \frac{mass}{volume}

Let density = 250,

Let volume = 5,

250 =  \frac{m}{5}

m = 250 \times 5

m = 1250g

Light passes through a pair of narrow slits with a 0.67-mm separation. It is found that the fourth bright fringe makes an angle
babunello [35]

Answer:

The wavelength of the light is 555 nm.

Explanation:

according to Bragg's law..

n×λ = d×sin(θ)

n is the fringe number

λ is the wavelength of the light

d is the slit separation

θ is the angle the light makes with the normal at the fringe.

What is the mass of an object that is hanging 12.6 m above the surface of the earth and has a
satela [25.4K]

Answer:

22.05 Kg

Explanation:

Apply the formula:

GPE = Gravity . Mass . ΔHigh

2778.3 = 10 . Mass . 12.6

2778.3 = 126 . Mass

Mass = 2778.3/126

Mass = 22.05
