PLEASE HELP!!!! Define constructive interference.

Physics
1 answer:
olga2289 [7]3 years ago

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.

A force of 20.0 N is applied to a 3.00 kg object for 4.00 seconds. Calculate the impulse experienced by the object.​
GenaCL600 [577]

Answer:

Impulse = 80Ns

Explanation:

Given the following data;

Mass = 3kg

Force = 20N

Time = 4 seconds

To find the impulse experienced by the object;

Impulse = force * time

Impulse = 20*4

Impulse = 80Ns

Therefore, the impulse experienced by the object is 80 Newton-seconds.

Increasing which two things would increase gravitational potential energy?
sukhopar [10]

Answer:

Mass and height

Explanation:

Gravitational potential energy is energy an object possesses because of its position in a gravitational field. The most common use of gravitational potential energy is for an object near the surface of the Earth where the gravitational acceleration can be assumed to be constant at about 9.8 m/s2.

Which is represented as;

PE_g=mgh

PE_g stands for gravitational potantial energy,

m stands for mass of object,

g is the gravitational constant and

h is the height.

Here we see that mass of object and height is directly proportional to the gravitational potential energy.

That means increasing in mass and height will result in increasing gravitational potential energy.

the diagram to the right shows an electrical wire. the arrow shows the direction of the current. what does “b” represent?
goblinko [34]

B represents the direction of the magnetic field around the wire

Explanation:

A wire carrying an electric current always produces a magnetic field around itself. The lines of the magnetic field produced by a current-carrying wires are concentric circles around the wire. The magnitude of the field is given by the formula:

B=\frac{\mu_0 I}{2 \pi r}

where

\mu_0 is the vacuum permeability

I is the current in the wire

r is the distance from the wire

The direction of the field lines is given by the so-called right hand rule, shown in the figure. Basically, the thumb of the right hand is placed in the direction of the electric current, while the other fingers are "wrapped" around the thumb: the direction of the other fingers give the direction of the magnetic field lines.

You have a battery marked " 6.00 V 6.00 V ." When you draw a current of 0.383 A 0.383 A from it, the potential difference betwee
Archy [21]

Answer:

V = 4.81 V

Explanation:

  • As the potential difference between the battery terminals, is less than the rated value of the battery, this means that there is some loss in the internal resistance of the battery.
  • We can calculate this loss, applying Ohm's law to the internal resistance, as follows:

        V_{rint} = I* r_{int}

  • The value of the potential difference between the terminals of the battery, is just the voltage of the battery, minus the loss in the internal resistance, as follows:

       V = V_{b} - V_{rint}  = 5.03 V = 6.0 V - 0.383 A* r_{int}

  • We can solve for rint, as follows:

         r_{int} = \frac{V_{b}-V}{I} =\frac{6.0V-5.03V}{0.383A} = 2.53 \Omega

  • When the circuit draws from battery a current I of 0.469A, we can find the potential difference between the terminals of the battery, as follows:

       V = V_{b} - V_{rint}  = 6.0 V - 0.469 A* 2.53 \Omega= 6.0 V - 1.19 V = 4.81 V

  • As the current draw is larger, the loss in the internal resistance will be larger too, so the potential difference between the terminals of the battery will be lower.
