5 0

The lasers are made from stacking light waves that add together into a larger wave in a process known as constructive interference. This happens only when waves would meet while they are traveling in the same medium. Constructive interference happens at any part of the medium where two waves moves in the same direction. When these waves would meet, they add up and make a larger wave. It is the interference of at leat two waves which produces a single amplitude where it is equal to the sum of the amplitudes of each wave that interfered. The other type is the destructive intereference where the result is a smaller wave.

Marrrta [24]

Area of a circle is
A= pi r^2
so

500/pi = r ^2
152.1549...=r^2
square root both sides
r=12.61566...

The distance between stars is typically measured in

Murljashka [212]

The question says: complete the sentence: The distance between stars is typically measured in.... The answer is 'light years" - the distance that light travels in a year. That's because it's a very big unit and if we were using smaller units, we would be using huge numbers that would be hard to read and would take up a lot of space.

The force of attraction between a -130.0 C and +180.0 C charge is 8.00 N. What is the separation between these two charges in me

kondaur [170]

Answer with Explanation:

The force of attraction between 2 charges of magnitude $q_1,q_2$ separated by a distance 'r' is given by

$F=\frac{1}{4\pi \epsilon _o}\frac{q_1\times q_2}{r^2}=k\frac{q_1\times q_2}{r^2}$

where

$\epsilon _o$ is a constant known as permitivity of free space

$k=9\times 10^{9}Nm^2/C^2$

Applying the given values in the above relation we get

$8=9\times 10^{9}\times \frac{130\times 180}{r^{2}}\\\\r^{2}=\frac{9\times 10^{9}\times 130\times 180}{8}\\\\r^{2}=26325\times 10^{9}\\\\\therefore r=\sqrt{26325\times 10^{9}}=5.131\times 10^{6}meters$

Energy can be changed from one form to another. Changes in the form of energy are called energy conversions. In an automobile en

Harman [31]

Answer: D (chemical -> heat -> mechanical)

In automobile engines the petrol/diesel fuel enter in to the engine cylinder, due to spark at the end of the compression, fuel burnt increase the temperature and pressure, develops heat (chemical energy -> heat energy). This heat energy acts on a piston develops the work on the crankshaft ( Heat energy -> Mechanical energy).
