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.

A car is moving at 18 m/s when it accelerates at 8 m/s2 for 2 sec. What is his new velocity ?
ra1l [238]
Vf= at + Vi
Since at = 8m/s2 * 2 = 16m/s2
Vi=18m/s
=>Vf = 16m/s2 + 18m/s = 34m/s
So, the new velocity is 34m/s

A coil has N turns enclosing an area of A. In a physics laboratory experiment, the coil is rotated during the time interval Δt f
scoray [572]

Answer:

BA

0

\dfrac{NBA}{\Delta t}

Explanation:

B = Magnetic field

A = Area

\theta = Angle

t = Time taken

Before rotation the magnetic flux is given by

\phi_i=BAsin\theta\\\Rightarrow \phi_i=BAsin90\\\Rightarrow \phi_i=BA

Magnetic flux is BA

After rotation the magnetic flux is given by

\phi_i=BAsin\theta\\\Rightarrow \phi_i=BAsin0\\\Rightarrow \phi_i=0

The magnetic flux is 0

Magnitude of emf is given by

\epsilon=NA\dfrac{d\phi}{dt}\\\Rightarrow \epsilon=\dfrac{NBA}{\Delta t}

The magnitude of the average emf induced in the entire coil is \dfrac{NBA}{\Delta t}

Shrill sound is of -------------- *
Leona [35]

Answer:

Higher frequency.

Explanation:

Sound are mechanical waves that are highly dependent on matter for their propagation and transmission.

Sound travels faster through solids than it does through either liquids or gases. A student could verify this statement by measuring the time required for sound to travel a set distance through a solid, a liquid, and a gas.

Mathematically, the speed of a sound is given by the formula:

Speed = wavelength * frequency

Generally, the frequency of a sound wave determines the pitch of the sound that would be heard.

A shrill sound refers to a type of sound that is typically sharp, high pitched and as such has higher frequency.

Hence, shrill sound is of higher frequency.

A 500kg car is driven forward with a thrust force of 1500N. Air resistance and friction acts against the motion of the car with
Wittaler [7]
2m/s^2, this is because F=ma, meaning a is also equal to F/m. The car applies 1500N in one direction and outside sources apply a total of -500N, meaning the 500kg car is moving forward with a total of 1000N of force. Taking the total 1000N and dividing it by 500kg gives you and acceleration of 2m/s^2. Hope this helps!

True or false? A protostellar cloud spins faster as it contracts
Aleks04 [339]

Answer:

No. The protostellar cloud spins faster in the collapsing stage (stage 1) and becomes much slower in the contraction stage (stage 2)

Explanation:

Once the cloud is so dense that the heat which is being produced in its center cannot easily escape, pressure rapidly rises, and catches up with the weight, or whatever external force is causing the cloud to collapse, and the cloud becomes stable, as a protostellar cloud.

The protostellar cloud will become more dense over thousands of years. This stage of decreasing size is known as a contraction, rather than a collapse. In the contraction stage the cloud has become much slower, and because weight and pressure are more or less in balance. In the first stage of formation, the decrease of size is very rapid, and compressive forces completely overwhelm the pressure of the gas, and we say that the cloud is collapsing.
