Answer: y'=2Asin(kx)cos(wt)

Explanation:

Let y1=A sin (kx + wt) be the first wave

y2=A sin (kx - wt) be the second wave in the opposite direction (which we showed by putting a negative sign between the terms kx and wt)

Please do note that both wave have the same attributes (that's Amplitude, wave number and angular frequency) because they are formed on the same medium by the same source just that their directions are opposite.

By super imposing these 2 waves, we have a resulting singular wave representing both wave (law of superimposition) with a resulting value of vertical displacement y'.

Thus y' = y1 + y2.

Let us do the math.

y'=A sin (kx + wt) + A sin (kx - wt)

By factoring A out, we have that

y' = A [ sin (kx + wt) + sin (kx - wt)]

For simplicity let us use the substitution

Let (kx + wt) = a and (kx - wt) =b

Hence we have that

y' = A [sin a + sin b].

From trigonometric ratio

sin a + sin b = 2sin[(a+b)/2] * cos [(a - b)/2]

By recalling that (kx + wt) = a and (kx - wt) =b

sin a + sin b = 2sin [(kx +wt +kx-wt) /2] * cos [(kx +wt - (kx-wt))/2]

Thus we have that

sin a + sin b = 2sin [(kx+wt+kx-wt)/2] * cos[(kx+wt-kx+wt)/2]

By collecting like terms in the bracket we have that

sin a + sin b = 2sin[2kx/2] * cos [2wt/2]

By dividing

sin a + sin b = 2sin(kx) cos(wt)

Now let us get the final resultant vertical displacement (y')

Recall that

y' = A [sin a + sin b]. and we already deduced that

sin a + sin b = 2sin(kx) cos(wt)

Finally,

y' = A [2sin(kx) cos(wt)] which is

y'=2Asin(kx)cos(wt)...... Final answer

Mark all the fermions a) Proton b) Electron c)Anti-top d) Gluon e) Tau Neutrino
aliya0001 [1]

Answer:

(a) Proton, (b) Electron (c) tau neutrino.

Explanation:

Elementary particles are the particles without any sub-structure which means they are not composed of other particles.

The elementary particles are classified into three categories which are discussed below:

(1) Quarks: up, down, top, bottom, strange, and charm.

(2) Leptons: electrons, electron neutrino, muon, muon neutrino, tau, tau neutrino.

(3) Bosons: Guon, photons Z bosons, W bosons, Higgs.

Fermions are particles that follow Fermi-Dirac statistics. Fermions consist of all the quarks and leptons. And fermions can also be categorized in elementary particles such as electrons and protons.

Therefore, the fermions in the given question are proton, electron, and tau neutrino.
