What will occur when the waves peak at the same place at the same time?

Hello!

This is a matter of superposition.
When the waves peak at the same time and place, they produce constructive interference, meaning the waves interact together in a positive way, to make a wave with Amplitude of both waves added together. When the peaks differ however, at the same time and place, then it is destructive interference and the waves essentially cancel each other out.

Hope this helps. Any questions please just ask. Thank you kindly.

If an ideal gas does not exist then why laws were stated?

mihalych1998 [28]

That is because it is impossible to create a law for the behavior of every single different gas, so creating laws for an ideal gas helps us understand the basic nature of gasses which might or might not differ slightly or a lot. By understanding how an ideal gas works, we can understand how a normal gas works.

HELP... 3.00 amu = _____ Mev. 3.22 x 10-3 2.79 x 103 3.10 x 102

DanielleElmas [232]

The correct answer is:
$2.79 \cdot 10^3 MeV$
Let's see why.

1 amu corresponds to the mass of the proton, which is:
$m_p = 1.66 \cdot 10^{-27} kg$
if we convert this into energy, using Einstein equivalence between mass and energy, we find:
$E=mc^2 = (1.66 \cdot 10^{-27} kg)(3\cdot 10^8 m/s)^2 = 1.49 \cdot 10^{-10} J$
Now we can convert it into electronvolts:
$E= \frac{1.49 \cdot 10^{-10}kg}{1.6 \cdot 10^{-19} J/eV} =9.34 \cdot 10^9 eV = 934 MeV$

So, 1 amu = 934 MeV. Therefore, 3 amu corresponds to 3 times this value:
$3 amu = 3 \cdot 934 MeV \sim 2790 MeV = 2.79 \cdot 10^3 MeV$
