When two mechanical waves have a displacement in opposite directions, and they overlap, what will the resulting wave look like a

nd why?
The new wave will have the same displacement as the original waves due to constructive interference.


The new wave will have a smaller displacement than either of the original waves due to destructive interference.


The new wave will have a greater displacement than either of the original waves due to constructive interference.


The new wave will have the same displacement as the original waves due to destructive interference.

Answer:

The new wave will have a smaller displacement than either of the original waves due to destructive interference.

Explanation:

As we know that the resultant displacement of two waves at a point where two or more waves are superimposed is given by the vector sum of the displacement due to each wave

So we will say

\vec y = \vec y_1 + \vec y_2

so here we can say that if the two particles which are superimposed are in same phase then it will constructive interference and the resultant displacement will be more than the individual displacement of each wave

while if the two particles are in opposite phase then this is known as destructive interference and the resultant displacement of the wave at that point is less than the individual displacement if each wave

Paraphin [41]

Given :

You drive 200 miles in 3 hours before stopping for lunch and gas. After lunch you  travel 250 miles in an hour and a half.

To Find :

Average speed.

Solution :

We know, average speed is given by :

v=\dfrac{\text{Total distance covered}}{\text{Total time taken}}\\\\v=\dfrac{200+250}{3+1.5}\ miles/hr\\\\v=\dfrac{450}{4.5}\ miles/hr\\\\v=100\ miles/hr

Therefore, average speed of the journey is 100 miles/hr.

Hence, this is the required solution.

Why was the idea of plate tectonics difficult for many scientists to accept for many years after it was first introduced?
gayaneshka [121]
It's kind of funny really. The guy who invented the idea in the first place had actually been made fun of because the thought of that happening was improbable in their mind. Also, Wegener ( the guy who invented the idea) was not even a geologist but a meteorologist. But later it had been backed up due to earthquakes being record consecutively in one area, and the graphs turning out differently.
