One of two 25-year-old identical twins begins a trip on a spaceship traveling at 0.8 c while her twin remains on Earth. The twin

on Earth tracks her twin's trip for 10 years. After ten years, what age is the twin on the spaceship according to the twin on Earth?

Answer:

This equation is based on twin paradox - a phenomena where one of the twin travels to space at a speed close to speed of light and the other remains on earth. the twin from the space on return discovers that the one on earth age faster.

Solution:

t_{o} = 10 years

v = 0.8c

c = speed of light in vacuum

The problem can be solved by time dilation equation:

t = \frac{t_{o}}{\sqrt{1 - \frac{v^{2}}{c^{2}}}}            (1)

where,

t = time observed from a different inertial frame

Now, using eqn (1), we get:

t = \frac{10}{\sqrt{1 - \frac{(0.8c)^{2}}{c^{2}}}}

t = 16.67 years

The age of the twin on spaceship according to the one on earth = 25+16.67 =41.66 years

Since sinusoidal waves are cyclical, a particular phase difference between two waves is identical to that phase difference plus
poizon [28]

Answer:

For destructive interference phase difference is

(2n+1)\pi where n∈ Whole numbers

Explanation:

For sinusoidal wave the interference affects the resultant intensity of the waves.

In the given example we have two waves interfering at a phase difference of \frac{\pi}{4} would lead to a constructive interference giving maximum amplitude at at the RMS value of the amplitude in resultant.

Also the effect is same as having a phase difference of  ( \frac{\pi}{4} + 2\pi) because after each 2π the waves repeat itself.

<em>In case of destructive interference the waves will be out of phase i.e. the amplitude vectors will be equally opposite in the direction at the same place on the same time as shown in figure.</em>

They have a phase difference of \pi or which is same as (2\pi+\pi)

Generalizing to:

a phase difference of (2n+1)\pi where n∈ {W}

{W}= set of whole numbers.
