Answer:

Constructive Interference

Explanation:

Constructive Interference occurs when two waves superimpose and make bigger amplitudes.

In constructive interference, the crests of one wave fall on the crests of second wave and the amplitudes add up. The amplitude of the resultant wave is equal to sum of the amplitude of the individual waves. Similarly, the trough of first wave falls on the trough of other wave and they superimpose to create the trough of the resultant wave.

For Example, In the attachment, two waves A and B superimpose and demonstrate Constructive interference to create the wave C.

You can obtain a rough estimate of the size of a molecule by the following simple experiment. Let a droplet of oil spread out on

Marat540 [252]

Answer:

The diameter of the molecule of oil is $1.405 10 ^{-9} \ m$

Explanation:

We define density as

$\rho = \frac{mass}{volume}$

So, the volume for our oil will be

$volume = \frac{mass}{\rho}$

$volume = \frac{7.62 \ 10^{-7} \ kg}{ 912 \ \frac{kg}{m^3} }$

$volume = 8.355 \ 10 ^{-10} \ m^3$

the volume for a cylinder with radius r and height h is

$volume = \pi r^2 h$

So, we can obtain the height of the droplet of oil as:

$h = \frac{volume}{\pi r^2}$

the radius is

$r=43.5 \ cm = 0.435 \ m$

$h = 1.405 10 ^{-9} \ m^3$

And this is the diameter of the oil molecule.

Two particles, with charges of 20.0 nC and -20.0 nC, are fixed at points with coordinates <0, 4.00 cm> and <0, -4.00 cm

Dmitry [639]

Answer:

Explanation:

Potential energy of the system of charges

= 9 x 10⁹ x [ q₁q₂ / r₁₂ + q₂q₃ / r₂₃ + q₁q₃ / r₁₃ ]

here r₁₂ , r₂₃ , r₁₃ are distance between 1 st and 2 nd charge , 2 nd and 3 rd charge and fist and third charge.

r₁₂ = 8 cm , r₂₃ = 4 cm , r₁₃ = 4 cm.

q₁ = 20 x 10⁻⁹ C , q₂ = - 20 x 10⁻⁹ C , q₃ = 10 x 10⁻⁹ C

Potential energy = 9 x 10⁹ x [ - 400 x 10⁻¹⁸ / .08 + -200x10⁻¹⁸ / .04 + 200 x 10¹⁸ / .04 ]

= 9 x 10⁹ x - 400 x 10⁻¹⁸ / .08

= 45 x 10⁻⁶ J .

Potential at the point of fourth charge due to three charges of 20 nC , - 20 nC and 10 nC at the centre

9 x 10⁹ [ 20 x 10⁻⁹ / .05 + - 20 x 10⁻⁹ / .05 + 10 x 10⁻⁹ / .03 ]

= 9 x 10⁹ x 10 x 10⁻⁹ / .03

= 3000 V .

potential energy of fourth particle = charge x potential

= 3000 x 40 x 10⁻⁹ = 12 x 10⁻⁵ J .

kinetic energy at infinity = 12 x 10⁻⁵ J

1/2 m v² = 12 x 10⁻⁵ J

.5 x 2 x 10⁻¹³ x v² = 12 x 10⁻⁵

v² = 12 x 10⁸

v = 3.46 x 10⁴ m/s

= 9 x 10⁹

) each plate of a parallel-plate air-filled capacitor has an area of 0.0020 , and the separation of the plates is an electric fi

Dvinal [7]

I attached the full question.
We know that for a parallel-plate capacitor the surface charge density is given by the following formula:
$\sigma=\varepsilon_0 \frac{V}{d}$
Where V is the voltage between the plates and d is separation.
Voltage is by definition:
$V=Ed$
Voltage is analog to the mechanical work done by the force.
Above formula is correct only If the field is constant, and we can assume that it is since no function has been given.
The charge density would then be:
$\sigma=\varepsilon_0 \frac{Ed}{d}=\varepsilon_0E\\
\sigma= 8.85\cdot10^{-12}\cdot 2.1\cdot 10^6= 0.0000185\frac{c}{m^2}$
Please note that elecric permittivity of air is very close to elecric permittivity of vacum, it is common to use them interchangeably.
