PLEASE HELP!!!! Define constructive interference.

Physics
1 answer:
olga2289 [7]3 years ago
8 0

Constructive interference is a phenomenon in optics where the crest or troughs of two or more waves intersect each other. This leads to increase in the intensity of the output wave.

<u>Explanation:</u>

When two or more waves emitting from different sources travel together, they tend to intersect at some point. So the waves can intersect either at both the crusts position and both the waves in trough position. Thus if the intersecting points of the superposing waves are same, then it will lead to constructive interference leading to formation of bright light.

But if the intersecting points of the superposing waves are different, for example the crust of one wave is intersecting with trough of other wave, then it will lead to destructive interference. The output of the destructive interference is a dark spot in those regions.

Thus, constructive interference increases the amplitude of the superimposing waves as they add up the intensities of crusts of all intersecting points or troughs of all intersecting points.

Six identical resistors are connected in series with a battery. The number of joules per second supplied by the battery is then
Nataly_w [17]

Answer:

The option (b) is correct.

Explanation:

The expression for the power in terms of work done is as follows;

P=\frac{W}{t}

Here, W is the work done, t is the time taken and P is the power.

According to the given problem, six identical resistors are connected in series with a battery. The number of joules per second supplied by the battery is then determined.

The expression for the equivalent resistance in the series combination is as follows;

R_{eq}=R_{1}+R_{2}......+R_{6}

Put R_{1},R_{2}......,R_{6}=R.

R_{eq}=R+R+R+R+R+R

R_{eq}=6R

It is given in the problem that a seventh resistor is added (in series).

R_{eq}=R_{1}+R_{2}......+R_{7}

Put R_{1},R_{2}......,R_{7}=R.

R_{eq}=R+R+R+R+R+R+R

R_{eq}=7R

The expression for the power in terms of voltage and resistance is as follows;

P=\frac{V^{2}}{R}

Here, R is the resistance.

From the above expression, it can be concluded that the power, the number of joules per second supplied by the battery is inversely proportional to the resistance. The equivalent resistance increases if the seventh resistance is connected with a battery.

If a seventh resistor is added (in series) the number of joules per second supplied by the battery decreases.

Therefore, the option (b) is correct.

3. A 10-centimeter diameter solid sphere made of a conducting material has 10 micro-Coulombs of charge placed upon it. What is t
bazaltina [42]

Answer:

zero

Explanation:

For a solid conducting sphere, charges are present on the surface of the sphere due to a phenomenon known as electrostatic sheilding. This affects the charge present in the body and makes it zero. However, the electrostatic potential appears to be equal to the whole present point that shows on the surface. The surface of a spherical conducting solid sphere is known as an equipotential surface. Thus, the potential difference between the two opposite points on the surface of the sphere will also be zero.
