When two mechanical waves that have positive displacements from the equilibrium position meet and coincide, a constructive interference occurs.

Option A

<h3><u>Explanation:</u></h3>

Considering the principle of superposition of waves; the resultant amplitude of an output wave due to interference of two or more waves at any point is given by individual addition of their amplitudes at that point. Two waves with positive displacements refer to the fact that crest of the both the waves are on the same side of displacement axis, either both are positive or both are negative, similarly with their troughs.

If such two waves with their crest on crest meet at any point, by superposition principle. their individual amplitude gets added up and hence the resultant wave after interference is greater in amplitude that both the individual waves. This is termed as a constructive interference. Destructive interference on the other hand is a condition when one of the two waves has a positive displacement and other has a negative displacement (a condition of one’s crest on other’s trough); resulting in amplitude subtraction.

Answer:

Explanation:

The different types of radiation are defined by the the amount of energy found in the photons. Radio waves have photons with low energies, microwave photons have a little more energy than radio waves, infrared photons have still more, then visible, ultraviolet, X-rays, and, the most energetic of all, gamma-rays

The direction of torque τ this method is mathematically given as

D=X

Option A is correct.

<h3>What is the direction of torque?</h3>

Generally, the equation for torque is mathematically given as

τ = r X F

Hence to decipher the torque direction with respect to the center of mass of the body due to force F acting on the body at a location indicated by the vector r

We utilize our right hand.
Place our right-hand fingers along the path of r
Place our right-hand palm on F
Then slowly we sweep r into F.
The path or direction of the thumb will provide the direction of the torque.

In conclusion, the direction of this method is

D=X Option A.
