Since sinusoidal waves are cyclical, a particular phase difference between two waves is identical to that phase difference plus

a cycle. For example, if two waves have a phase difference of \frac{\pi}{4}, the interference effects would be the same as if the two waves had a phase difference of \frac{\pi}{4} + 2\pi. The complete criterion for constructive interference between two waves is therefore written as follows:
{\rm phase\ difference} = 0 + 2 \pi n \qquad {\rm for\ any\ integer}\ n
Write the full criterion for destructive interference between two waves.

Answer:

For destructive interference phase difference is

(2n+1)\pi where n∈ Whole numbers

Explanation:

For sinusoidal wave the interference affects the resultant intensity of the waves.

In the given example we have two waves interfering at a phase difference of \frac{\pi}{4} would lead to a constructive interference giving maximum amplitude at at the RMS value of the amplitude in resultant.

Also the effect is same as having a phase difference of  ( \frac{\pi}{4} + 2\pi) because after each 2π the waves repeat itself.

<em>In case of destructive interference the waves will be out of phase i.e. the amplitude vectors will be equally opposite in the direction at the same place on the same time as shown in figure.</em>

They have a phase difference of \pi or which is same as (2\pi+\pi)

Generalizing to:

a phase difference of (2n+1)\pi where n∈ {W}

{W}= set of whole numbers.

A 120 resistor a 60 ohm resistor and a 40 ohm resistor are connected in parallel to a 120 volt power source. what is the current
larisa [96]

Answer:

6 A

Explanation:

First of all, we need to calculate the equivalent resistance of the circuit. The three resistors are connected in parallel, so their equivalent resistance is given by:

\frac{1}{R_T}=\frac{1}{R_1}+\frac{1}{R_2}+\frac{1}{R_3}=\frac{1}{120 \Omega}+\frac{1}{60 \Omega}+\frac{1}{40 \Omega}=\frac{3+2+1}{120 \Omega}=\frac{6}{120 \Omega}\\R_T = \frac{120}{6} \Omega

And now we can use Ohm's law to find the current in the circuit:

V=R_T II=\frac{V}{R_T}=\frac{120 V}{\frac{120}{6}\Omega}=6 A

A red train travelling at 72 km/h and a green train travelling at 144 km/h are headed toward each
abruzzese [7]

Answer:

  Collision will occur.

  Speed of red train when they collide = 0 m/s.

  Speed of green train when they collide = 10 m/s.

Explanation:

Speed of red train = 72 km/h = 20 m/s

Speed of green train = 144 km/h = 40 m/s.

Deceleration of trains = 1 m/s²

For red train:-

    Equation of motion v = u + at

              u = 20 m/s

              v = 0 m/s

              a = -1 m/s²

    Substituting

             0 = 20 - 1 x t

             t = 20 s.

    Equation of motion s = ut + 0.5at²

              u = 20 m/s

              t = 20 s

              a = -1 m/s²    

    Substituting

             s = 20 x 20 - 0.5 x 1 x 20² = 200 m

   So red train travel 200 m before coming to stop.

For green train:-

    Equation of motion v = u + at

              u = 40 m/s

              v = 0 m/s

              a = -1 m/s²

    Substituting

             0 = 40 - 1 x t

             t = 40 s.

    Equation of motion s = ut + 0.5at²

              u = 40 m/s

              t = 40 s

              a = -1 m/s²    

    Substituting

             s = 40 x 40 - 0.5 x 1 x 40² = 800 m

   So green train travel 800 m before coming to stop.

 Total distance traveled = 800 + 200 = 1000 m>950 m.

  So both trains collide.

  Distance traveled by green train when red train stops(t=20s)

     Equation of motion s = ut + 0.5at²

              u = 40 m/s

              t = 20 s

              a = -1 m/s²    

    Substituting

             s = 40 x 20 - 0.5 x 1 x 20² = 600 m

    Total distance after 20 s = 600 + 200 = 800 m< 950m . So they collide after red train stops.

  Speed of red train when they collide = 0 m/s.

  Distance traveled by green train when they collide = 950 - 200 = 750 m

  Equation of motion v² = u² + 2as

              u = 40 m/s

              s= 750 m

              a = -1 m/s²    

    Substituting  

              v² = 40² - 2 x 1 x 750 = 100

               v = 10 m/s

  Speed of green train when they collide = 10 m/s.
