Answer:

Option (B)

Explanation:

A transverse wave motion is in the form of crests and troughs.

The maximum displacement on either side from the mean position is called its amplitude.

The highest point on the wave is called crest.

The lowest point on the wave is called trough.

The distance between two consecutive crest or trough is called wavelength.

Explain the relationship between energy and the potential to do work
Alenkinab [10]
Potential energy is the energy possessed by a body by virtue of its position or configuration . And energy is the capacity of doing work since power is work divided by time therefore change in potential energy divided by time is equal to the power of the object.

g How many diffraction maxima are contained in a region of the Fraunhofer single-slit pattern, subtending an angle of 2.12°, for
lbvjy [14]

Answer:

2

Explanation:

We know that in the Fraunhofer single-slit pattern,

maxima is given by

a\text{sin}\theta=\frac{2N+1}{2}\lambda

Given values

θ=2.12°

slit width a= 0.110 mm.

wavelength λ= 582 nm

Now plugging values to calculate N we get

0.110\times10^{-3}\text{sin}2.12=(\frac{2N+1}{2})582\times10^{-9}

Solving the above equation we get

we N= 2.313≅ 2

In a double-slit interference experiment you are asked to use laser light of different wavelengths and determine the separation
MAXImum [283]

Answer:

Red light

Explanation:

This because All interference or diffraction patterns depend upon the wavelength of the light (or whatever wave) involved. Red light has the longest wavelength (about 700 nm)

a waves amplitude is 0.5 meters. If the amplitude is increased to 1 metro, how does its energy change
marysya [2.9K]

Answer:

The energy becomes 4 times greater.

Explanation:

We know that the energy of a wave is proportional to the square of its amplitude

E ∝ Amplitude^2

Since the original amplitude = 0.5 m

and the new amplitude becomes = 1 m

We are doubling the amplitude. This means that the new energy will be affected by a factor of 4

E_new  ∝ (2*Amplitude)^2  =

E_new ∝ 4*(Amplitude)^2  

E_new  = 4*E
