The tsunami described in the passage produced a very erratic pattern of damage, with some areas seeing very large waves and near

by areas seeing only small waves. Which of the following is a possible explanation?
A. Certain areas saw the wave from the primary source, others only the reflected waves.
B. The superposition of waves from the primary source and reflected waves produced regions of constructive and destructive interference.
C. A tsunami is a standing wave, and certain locations were at nodal positions, others at antinodal positions.

Answer:B. The superposition of waves from the primary source and reflected waves produced regions of constructive and destructive interference.

Explanation: Tsunami is described as several waves originating from a water body mainly an ocean caused by Large scale earth movements taking place under the sea.

Superimposition of wave is the movement of one wave on another,it can be constructive or destructive.

Constructive interference is a wave interference that take place causing the Crest of one wave to align with that of another wave leading to high amplitude.

Destructive interference is a wave interference that take place causing the Trouph of one wave to align with the crest of another wave leading to low amplitude wave.

When monochromatic light shines perpendicularly on a soap film (n = 1.33) with air on each side, the second smallest nonzero fil
Anika [276]

Let us start from considering monochromatic light as an incidence on the film of a thickness t whose material has an index of refraction n determined by their respective properties.

From this point of view part of the light will be reflated and the other will be transmitted to the thin film. That additional distance traveled by the ray that was reflected from the bottom will be twice the thickness of the thin film at the point where the light strikes. Therefore, this relation of phase differences and additional distance can be expressed mathematically as

2t + \frac{1}{2} \lambda_{film} = (m+\frac{1}{2})\lambda_{film}

We are given the second smallest nonzero thickness at which destructive interference occurs.

This corresponds to, m = 2, therefore

2t = 2\lambda_{film}

t = \lambda_{film}

The index of refraction of soap is given, then

\lambda_{film} = \frac{\lambda_{vacuum}}{n}

Combining the results of all steps we get

t = \frac{\lambda_{vacuum}}{n}

Rearranging, we find

\lambda_{vacuum} = tn

\lambda_{vacuum} = (278)(1.33)

\lambda_{vacuum} = 369.74nm

Please answer this question for me and explain why.
horsena [70]

Answer:

D.None of these

Explanation:

The derivation of acceleration formula:

Let us call the 5kg mass m_2 and the 4kg mass m_1. If the tension in the string is T then for the mass m_2

(1). T-m_2g=-m_2a <em>(the negative sign on the right side indicates that acceleration is downwards)</em>

And for the mass m_1

(2). T-m_1g =m_1a<em> (the acceleration is upwards, hence the positive sign)</em>

Solving for T in the 2nd equation we get:

T =m_1a+m_1g,

and putting this into the 1st equation we get:

m_1a+m_1g-m_2g=-m_2a\\\\m_1a+m_2a = m_2g-m_1g\\\\a(m_1+m_2)= (m_2-m_1)g

\boxed{a= \dfrac{(m_2-m_1)}{(m_1+m_2)} g}

Back to the question:

Using the formula for the acceleration we find

a= \dfrac{(5kg-4kg)}{(5kg+4kg)} g

a = \dfrac{g}{9},

which is the acceleration that none of the given choices offer. Also, the acceleration of the two blocks is the same, because if it weren't, the difference in the instantaneous velocities of the objects would cause the string to break. Therefore, these two reasons make us decide that none of the choices are correct.
