The dark fringes that appear represent where the waves interfere

C. Destructively

Explanation:

Interference is a phenomenon typical of waves, that occurs when two waves meet at a certain point in space. The amplitude of the resultant wave can be found by using the principle of superposition, which states that the displacement of the resultant wave is the sum of the displacements of each wave. In particular, there are two extreme cases that can occur:

- Constructive interference:  this occurs when the two waves meet in phase - i.e., the crest of one wave meets with the crest of the other wave. In this case, the amplitude of the resultant wave is twice the amplitude of each wave.

- Destructive interference: this occurs when two waves meet in anti-phase - i.e, the crest of one wave meets with the trough of the other wave. In this case, the amplitude of the resultant wave is equal to the difference between the two amplitues (and if the two waves have same amplitude, the resultant amplitude will be zero).

This phenomenon can occur also with light wave (which is a type of wave), and it leads to:

- The presence of bright fringes in case of constructive interference

- The presence of dark fringes in case of destructive interference

Therefore, the correct answer is

C. Destructively

You are standing 10 meters from a light source. then, you back away from the light source until you are 20 meters away from it.
-Dominant- [34]
Intensity of wave is defined as the work per unit area and it is calculated through the equation,
                                   I = P / A

If a person moved farther from the light source, the area covered by the light. With the equation, A is a inversely proportional to light. If the distance is to cover half of the team. The answer therefore, the intensity of the wave is lessened.

The effect of gravity is more in liquid than in solid. why?​
ycow [4]

This is not that exact but I hope that this will help you.

The effect of gravity is more in liquid than in solid because as we know that liquid pressure increase in the increase in depth but solid dont

Ideal gases are often studied at standard ambient temperature and pressure (satp). The international union of pure and applied c
11Alexandr11 [23.1K]

This problem provides information about the pressure and temperature ideal gases are studied at. The answer to the questions are that all molecules have the same density, 2.43x10²⁵ mol/m³ and 2.43x10¹⁹ mol/cm³.

<h3>Idela gases</h3>

In science, we can start studying gases with the concept of ideal gas, as they do not collide one to another and are assumed to be perfect spheres with no relevant interactions.

In such a way, one can conclude that the <u>number density of all ideal gasses at SATP is the same</u>, as they are assumed to be perfect spheres with equal volumes per molecule.

Moreover, when calculating the number of molecules per cubic meter, one must use the ideal gas equation as:

PV=nRT\\\\\frac{N}{V}= \frac{P*N_A}{RT}

And plug in the numbers we are given:

\frac{N}{V}= \frac{100kPa*\frac{1000Pa}{1kPa}*6.022x10^{23}molec/mol}{8.314\frac{Pa*m^3}{mol*K}*298K}=2.43x10^{25}molec/m^3

Lastly, we can calculate the molecules per cubic centimeter by performing the following conversion:

2.43x10^{25}\frac{molec}{m^3}*(\frac{1m}{100cm} )^3\\ \\=2.43x10^{19}\frac{molec}{cm^3}

Current is constant at all points in a parallel circuit.<br><br> True<br> False
Sergio [31]
This is false. Current is the speed of the charge, 1 amp of current is 1 coulomb per second. So you can imagine the current of a circuit as the current of a river. In a parallel circuit, the river breaks into two separate streams. Some of the water goes down one river, some goes down the other. However, the total amount of water/coulombs never changes. This means that some of the total current will go down one river, and one the other. However, with less coulombs now the current will decrease. 

Long story short, since there are two paths, the charge will split and depending on the resistance of each parallel stream a different amount of charge will go down each branch.
