Answer:

Interference

Explanation:

Interference is the phenomenon in which two waves superimpose to form a wave with smaller, larger or same amplitude.

There are two types of interference namely, constructive interference and destructive interference.

Constructive interference occurs when the waves are in phase and destructive interference occurs when the waves are out of phase.

In a double slit experiment, the two slits acts as sources of light and thus the waves combine to produce interference patterns. When the waves are in phase, that is the angle between them is 0°, they form a constructive interference pattern which gives rise to a light band. When the waves are out of phase, that is the angle between them is 180°, they form a destructive interference pattern which gives rise to a dark band.

Note also that diffraction patterns are also observed for wide slits but can be neglected for smaller slits.

A player hits a tennis ball in the air with an initial velocity of 32 meters per second at 35 degrees from the vertical how fast
Mamont248 [21]

Answer: 18.35 m/s

Explanation:

At the highest point of trajectory, the vertical component of the velocity would be zero and the tennis ball would have horizontal component of velocity.

It is given that the initial velocity of the ball is 32 m/s and it makes 35° with the vertical. Hence the horizontal component of the velocity,

v sin θ = 32 m/s × sin 35° = 18.35 m/s

Hence, at the highest point in its trajectory, the tennis ball would be moving with the speed  18.35 m/s.

In an exothermic reaction, the products have _____.
Sergio039 [100]

Answer: In an exothermic reaction, the products have  less energy than the reactants.

Explanation: There are two types of reactions:

1. Endothermic reactions: These are the reactions in which energy is required in the reaction. The energy of the products are more than the energy of the reactants.

2. Exothermic reactions: These are the reactions in which energy is released in the reaction. The energy of the products is less than the energy of the reactants.

Hence, in an exothermic reaction, the products have  less energy than the reactants.
