Answer:

C

Explanation:

Thin film interference is most constructive or most destructive when the path length difference for the two rays is an integral or half-integral wavelength, respectively. That is, for rays incident perpendicularly, 2t = λn, 2λn, 3λn, . . . or  2t = λn/2, 3λn/2, 5λn/2 , .....

We see a constant phase shift off λn/2. Hence option C

Imagine a 15 kg block moving with a velocity of 20 m/s to the left. Calculate the kinetic Energy of this block.
ivann1987 [24]

Answer:

3000 J

Explanation:

Kinetic energy is:

KE = ½ mv²

If m = 15 kg and v = -20 m/s:

KE = ½ (15 kg) (-20 m/s)²

KE = 3000 J

Jake calculates that the frequency of a wave is 500 hertz and that the wave is moving at 1,250 m/s. What is the wavelength of th
Neko [114]
Frequency (f) = 500 hz (SI)
Velocity (V) = 1250 m/s (SI)
Wavelength (Lambda) = ? meters

v =  \lambda \times f
1250 =  \lambda \times 500 \\ \lambda = 1250 \div 500 \\ \lambda = 2.5 \: meters

As we move above up from one trophic level to another in an energy pyramid, what happens to the energy?
Shkiper50 [21]

As we move above up from one trophic level to another in an energy pyramid, what happens to the energy?

a. It decreases from one trophic level to another.
b. It remains the same for each trophic level.
c. It increases from one trophic level to another.

As we move above up from one trophic level to another in an energy pyramid, the energy level decreases from one trophic level to another. The answer is letter A.

13.<br>14. Why does a person feel weightlessness during freefall?​
Sveta_85 [38]

Answer:

When in free fall, the only force acting upon your body is the force of gravity - a non-contact force. Since the force of gravity cannot be felt without any other opposing forces, you would have no sensation of it. You would feel weightless when in a state of free fall.
