Two waves meet and interfere

Physics
1 answer:
Illusion [34]3 years ago
6 0

Answer:

b. amplitude

Explanation:

There are two types of intereference:

- Constructive interference: it occurs when two waves of same frequency meet at a point in phase - this means , the crest of one wave meets with the crest of the other wave. When this occurs, the resultant wave has an amplitude which is equal to the sum of the amplitudes of the two waves.

- Destructive interference: it occurs when two waves of same frequency meet at a point in opposite phase - this means , the crest of one wave meets with the trough of the other wave. When this occurs, the resultant wave has an amplitude which is equal to the difference between the amplitudes of the two waves.

When interference occurs, the other factors of the waves (period, frequency and wavelength) do not change.

Ultrasonic imaging is made possible due to the fact that a sound wave is partially reflected whenever it hits a boundary between
xxTIMURxx [149]

The gel has a density similar to that of skin, so very little of the incident ultrasonic wave is lost by reflection.

If there are 1,600 meters in a mile, find the speed of sound in this experiment in units of "miles / hour"
atroni [7]

Answer:

v = 771.75 mile / h

Explanation:

The speed of sound is v = 343 m / s  at T= 20C

the transformation ratios are

     1 mile = 1600 m

     1 h = 3600 s

Let's reduce

    v = 343 m / s (1 mile / 1600 m) (3600 s / 1 h)

    v = 771.75 mile / h

Compare the potential energy of a 5 lb ball at the top of a 5 foot hill and a 5 lb ball at the top of a 10 foot hill.
krek1111 [17]
Potential energy is the energy possessed by a body at rest while the kinetic energy is the energy possessed by a body in motion.
Potential energy is given by mass× gravitational acceleration × height
         That is energy = mgh
For the first ball the potential energy is 2.268 ×10 ×5 = 113.4 J (5 lb = 2.268 kg)
          The second ball with the same mass will have 2.268 ×10 ×10 = 226.8 J
Thus, the potential energy is dependent on the height of a given body and therefore the ball at the 5 foot hill has less potential energy.
