Light travels as transverse waves and faster than sound. It can be reflected, refracted and dispersed. Ray diagrams show what happens to light in mirrors and lenses. Eyes and cameras detect light.

Two coherent sources of radio waves, A and B, are 5.00 meters apart. Each source emits waves with wavelength 6.00 meters. Consid

Korolek [52]

Answer:

$z= 2.5 \ m$

$z = (1 \ m , 4 \ m )$

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

Their distance apart is $d = 5.00 \ m$

The wavelength of each source wave $\lambda = 6.0 \ m$

Let the distance from source A where the construct interference occurred be z

Generally the path difference for constructive interference is

$z - (d-z) = m \lambda$

Now given that we are considering just the straight line (i.e points along the line connecting the two sources ) then the order of the maxima m = 0

$z - (5-z) = 0$

=> $2 z - 5 = 0$

=> $z= 2.5 \ m$

Generally the path difference for destructive interference is

$|z-(d-z)| = (2m + 1)\frac{\lambda}{2}$

=> $|2z - d |= (0 + 1)\frac{\lambda}{2}$

=> $|2z - d| =\frac{\lambda}{2}$

substituting values

$|2z - 5| =\frac{6}{2}$

=> $z = \frac{5 \pm 3}{2}$

$z = \frac{5 + 3}{2}$

$z = 4\ m$

and

$z = \frac{ 5 -3 }{2}$

=> $z = 1 \ m$

=> $z = (1 \ m , 4 \ m )$

A) Work energy relation;
Work =ΔKE ; work done = Force × distance, while, Kinetic energy = 1/2 MV²
F.s = 1/2mv²
F× 4×10^-2 = 1/2 × 5 ×10^-3 × (600)²
F = 900/0.04
= 22500 N
Therefore, force is 22500 N

b) From newton's second law of motion;
F = Ma
Thus; a = F/m
= 22500/(5×10^-3)
= 4,500,000 m/s²
But v = u-at
0 = 600- 4500,000 t
t = 1.33 × 10^-4 seconds

Airida [17]

Answer:

$\frac{I}{I_0}=113.68$

Explanation:

P = Acoustic power = 63 µW

r = Distance to the sound source = 210 m

Acoustic power

$P=IA\\\Rightarrow I=\frac{P}{A}\\\Rightarrow I=\frac{63\times 10^{-6}}{4\times \pi \times 210^2}$

Threshold intensity = $I_0=1\times 10^{-12}\ W/m^2$

Ratio

$\frac{I}{I_0}=\frac{\frac{63\times 10^{-6}}{4\times \pi \times 210^2}}{1\times 10^{-12}}\\\Rightarrow \frac{I}{I_0}=113.68$

Ratio of the acoustic intensity produced by the juvenile howler to the reference intensity is 113.68

Let t = Theta and p = Phi
Tan t = y/x Then x =y/Tant.
Tant = y/(x-d) x-d = y/Tanp
y/Tant - d = y/Tanp
y -d*Tanr = y*Tant/Tanp
y-y*Tant/Tanp = d*Tanr
y(1 - Tanr/Tanp = d*Tant

y = d*Tant/(1-Tant/Tanp)
