What do we mean when we say that two light rays striking a screen are in phase with each other? What do we mean when we say that

two light rays striking a screen are in phase with each other? When the electric field due to one is a maximum, the electric field due to the other is also a maximum, and this relation is maintained as time passes. They alternately reinforce and cancel each other. They are traveling at the same speed. They have the same wavelength.

Answer: When the electric field due to one is a maximum, the electric field due to the other is also a maximum, and this relation is maintained as time passes. They alternatively reinforce and cancel each other.

Explanation:

In a wave, the phase, is an arbitrary time reference, used to locate a given point of the wave in time, within a cycle.

Two waves can travel at the same speed, or even have the same wavelength, but this is not enough to be sure that at a given point in time, both waves will be in their maximum, as it only can be determined from the phase of the waves.

So, only when the waves reach at the same point in time at the same amplitude, we can say that they arrive in phase, in a constructive interference.

25 POINTS ------------------ (usatestprep)
Airida [17]

Answer:

D) The heavier ball will have a higher temperature because the change of temperature is inversely proportional to mass.

Explanation:

As stated in the problem, the amount of heat released by each ball is

Q=mC_p \Delta T

where

m is the mass of the ball

Cp is the specific heat of iron (so, it is equal for both balls)

\Delta T is the change in temperature of each ball

In this problem, we are said that the amount of heat released by the two balls, Q, is the same. Cp is also the same: this means that the product m\Delta T must be the same for the two balls. So, the mass and the change in temperature are inversely proportional: therefore, the heavier ball will have a smaller change in temperature. And since both balls starts from the same temperature, 100 C, this means that the heavier ball will reach a higher temperature than the lighter ball.

Write down two advantages of parallel combination ​
Simora [160]

Answer:

In parallel combination each appliance gets the full voltage.

If one appliance is switched on/of others are not affected.

The parallel circuit divide the current through the appliances.

In a parallel combination it is very easy to connect or disconnect a new appliance without affecting the working of other appliances.

What is the best way to dry a thermometer servsafe?
Mandarinka [93]
A thermometer should be air dried so as to not damage it or anything similar. The three steps to cleaning it are washing, rinsing, and air drying it after. You shouldn't try to dry it other ways because it can damage it and this can cause a lot of troubles, so things cold air blowers or similar things can be very good in cleaning your thermometer.
