<span>A sound wave is a pressure wave that results from the vibration of the particles o the medium from the source. The motion of the particles in the medium is parallel to the direction of the energy transport. The type of wave formed by a sound wave is the longitudinal wave. </span>A longitudinal wave is characterized by rarefactions. A longitudinal wave is a wave motion wherein the particles in the wave medium are displaced parallel to transport. When motion is detected from the source, the particle next to it vibrates from its rest position and a progressive change in phase vibration is observed at each particle within that wave. The result is that the energy is transported from one region to the other. These combined motions result in the movement of alternating regions of rarefaction in the direction of propagation.

do constructive inference occur when the compression of one wave meets up with the compression of a second wave
Ugo [173]

Answer:

Yes

Explanation:

There are two types of interference possible when two waves meet at the same point:

- Constructive interference: this occurs when the two waves meet in phase, i.e. the crest (or the compression, in case of a longitudinale wave) meets with the crest (compression) of the other wave. In such a case, the amplitude of the resultant wave is twice that of the original wave.

- Destructive interferece: this occurs when the two waves meet in anti-phase, i.e. the crest (or the compression, in case of a longitudinal wave) meets with the trough (rarefaction) of the other wave. In this case, the amplitude of the resultant wave is zero, since the amplitudes of the two waves cancel out.

In this problem, we have a situation where the compression of one wave meets with the compression of the second wave, so we have constructive interference.

Acceleration is defined as the rate of change for which characteristic?
Alenkasestr [34]

1) C. velocity

Acceleration is defined as the rate of change of velocity per unit time. In formulas:

a=\frac{\Delta v}{\Delta t}

where

\Delta v is the change in velocity

\Delta t is the time interval

Therefore, the correct answer is C. velocity.


2) A. 9.8m/s/s

Earth's gravity is a force, so it produces an acceleration on every object with mass located on the Earth's surface. This acceleration can be calculated, as it is given by the formula

g=\frac{GM}{r^2}

where

G=6.67\cdot 10^{-11} m^3 kg^{-1} s^{-2} is the gravitational constant

M=5.98\cdot 10^{24} kg is the Earth's mass

r=6.37\cdot 10^6 m is the Earth's radius

By substituting these numbers into the formula, one can find that the acceleration due to Earth's gravity is g=9.81 m/s^2.

Two motorcyclists are riding side-by-side at night and the distance between their center-mounted headlights is 1.40 m. (a) If th
dezoksy [38]

Answer:

θ = 1.591 10⁻² rad

Explanation:

For this exercise we must suppose a criterion when two light sources are considered separated, we use the most common criterion the Rayleigh criterion that establishes that two light sources are separated census the central maximum of one of them coincides with the first minimum of the other source

         

Let's write the diffraction equation for a slit

       a sin θ = m λ

The first minimum occurs for m = 1, also field in these we experience the angles are very small, we can approximate the sin θ = θ

             θ = λ / a

In our case, the pupil is circular, so the system must be solved in polar coordinates, so a numerical constant is introduced.

           θ = 1.22 λ / D

Where D is the diameter of the pupil

 Let's apply this equation to our case

        θ = 1.22 600 10⁻⁹ / 0.460 10⁻²

        θ = 1.591 10⁻² rad

This is the angle separation to solve the two light sources
