Answer:
A). 0.0 cm
Explanation:
When two waves travel and meet at the same point, a phenomenon known as interference occurs.
The two extreme cases of interference are the following:
- When two waves in phase meet at the same point, the resultant wave produced by the interference has amplitude which is the sum of the amplitude of the individual waves
- When two waves in anti-phase meet at the same point, the resultant wave produced by the interference has amplitude which is the difference between the amplitudes of the individual waves
In this problem, we have two waves of amplitde A1 = 2.0 cm and A2 = 2.0 cm that meet at X in anti-phase (because they have opposite displacement): therefore, it is a destructive interference, and the resultant amplitude will be

Answer:
Explanation:
When an electromagnetic wave passes through the interface between two mediums, it undergoes refraction, which means that it bents and its speed and its wavelength change.
In particular, the wavelength of an electromagnetic wave in a certain medium is related to the index of refraction of the medium by:
where
is the wavelength in a vacuum (air is a good approximation of vacuum)
n is the refractive index of the medium
In this problem:
is the original wavelength of the wave
n = 1.47 is the index of refraction of corn oil
Therefore, the wavelength of the electromagnetic wave in corn oil is:
