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

$A=A_1 -A_2 = 2.0 cm - 2.0 cm = 0.0 cm$

Describe how wavelength, frequency, and energy are related.

The greater the energy, the larger the frequency and the shorter (smaller) the wavelength. Given the relationship between wavelength and frequency — the higher the frequency, the shorter the wavelength — it follows that short wavelengths are more energetic than long wavelengths.

Answer:

T/√8

Explanation:

From Kepler's law, T² ∝ R³ where T = period of planet and R = radius of planet.

For planet A, period = T and radius = 2R.

For planet B, period = T' and radius = R.

So, T²/R³ = k

So, T²/(2R)³ = T'²/R³

T'² = T²R³/(2R)³

T'² = T²/8

T' = T/√8

So, the number of hours it takes Planet B to complete one revolution around the star is T/√8
