Answer: The correct answer is "interference".

Explanation:

Interference: It is a phenomenon in which there is a superposition or a overlapping of the waves occur in the same medium. The resulting wave may have minimum amplitude or maximum amplitude. The interference can be : constructive and destructive depending on the amplitude of the resulting wave.

When the frequencies of the waves are not identical but they are similar interfere then the resulting wave is a beat frequency. Beat frequency is a pulsing sound. It goes up and down in loudness.

When you listen to the radio, you hear two stations at once. This interaction of this wave is interference.

Therefore, the correct option is (B).

Positive ions have blank protons than electrons

grandymaker [24]

Postitive ions have more protons than electrons, because protons are positively charged. Electrons have a negative charge, so if there were less protons than electrons the job would be negative. If there were the same amount of both, then the positive and negative charges balance each other out, making a neutral charge.

When a sinusoidal wave with speed 20 m/s , wavelength 35 cm and amplitude of 1.0 cm passes, what is the maximum speed of a point

vova2212 [387]

To solve this problem it is necessary to apply the concepts related to frequency as a function of speed and wavelength as well as the kinematic equations of simple harmonic motion

From the definition we know that the frequency can be expressed as

$f = \frac{v}{\lambda}$

Where,

$v = Velocity \rightarrow 20m/s$

$\lambda = Wavelength \rightarrow 35*10^{-2}m$

Therefore the frequency would be given as

$f = \frac{20}{35*10^{-2}}$

$f = 57.14Hz$

The frequency is directly proportional to the angular velocity therefore

$\omega = 2\pi f$

$\omega = 2\pi *57.14$

$\omega = 359.03rad/s$

Now the maximum speed from the simple harmonic movement is given by

$V_{max} = A\omega$

Where

A = Amplitude

Then replacing,

$V_{max} = (1*10^{-2})(359.03)$

$V_{max} = 3.59m/s$

Therefore the maximum speed of a point on the string is 3.59m/s

When a force is acting at axis of rotation,why torque is zero?

Vikki [24]

Explanation:

see, torque=force × perpendicular distance

...that perpendicular distance is between axis of rotation and the point where force acts... so in above's case perpendicular distance is zero... so the torque is zero!
