Answer:
The required angular speed the neutron star is 10992.32 rad/s
Explanation:
Given the data in the question;
mass of the sun M = 1.99 × 10³⁰ kg
Mass of the neutron star
M = 2( M
)
M = 2( 1.99 × 10³⁰ kg )
M = ( 3.98 × 10³⁰ kg )
Radius of neutron star R = 13.0 km = 13 × 10³ m
Now, let mass of a small object on the neutron star be m
angular speed be ω.
During rotational motion, the gravitational force on the object supplies the necessary centripetal force.
GmM = / R
² = mR
ω
²
ω² = GM
= / R
³
ω = √(GM
= / R
³)
we know that gravitational G = 6.67 × 10⁻¹¹ Nm²/kg²
we substitute
ω = √( ( 6.67 × 10⁻¹¹ )( 3.98 × 10³⁰ ) ) / (13 × 10³ )³)
ω = √( 2.65466 × 10²⁰ / 2.197 × 10¹²
ω = √ 120831133.3636777
ω = 10992.32 rad/s
Therefore, The required angular speed the neutron star is 10992.32 rad/s

To solve this problem we will apply the concept related to destructive interference (from the principle of superposition). This concept is understood as a superposition of two or more waves of identical or similar frequency that, when interfering, create a new wave pattern of less intensity (amplitude) at a point called a node. Mathematically it can be described as
Where,
d = Path difference
= wavelength
n = Any integer which represent the number of repetition of the spectrum
In this question the distance between the two source will be minimum for the case of minimum path difference, then n= 1
Therefore the minimum distance that should you separate two sources emitting the same waves is 2.5mm
