Answer:

Explanation:

The amplitude of resultant wave as the result of  overlap of two waves depends upon the phase difference between the two.  If the waves meet crest to trough , the phase difference is 180 degree or they are in opposite phase . Hence they will destroy each other . The amplitude of resultant wave can be obtained by subtracting the amplitudes of two waves. They will interfere destructively.

Amplitude of resultant gives waves = 4.6 - 2 = 2.6 cm.

what happens to light when it falls upon a material that has a natural frequency equal to the frequency of the light?
mixas84 [53]

The energy from the light is transferred to the material, causing it to vibrate and absorb the light.

What is energy?
In physics, energy is the quantitative quality that is transmitted to the a body or a physical system, and is discernible in the work performed as well as in the form of light and heat. The law of conservation states that although energy can change its form, it cannot be created or destroyed. Energy is indeed a conserved quantity. The International System of Units' (SI's) joule is the measurement unit for energy (J). A moving object's kinetic energy, a solid object's elastic energy, chemical energy caused by chemical reactions, and the potential energy that an object stores (for instance because of its position inside a field) are examples of common forms of energy.

When light falls upon a material that has a natural frequency equal to the frequency of the light, the light will be absorbed by the material. This is due to resonance, which occurs when the frequency of the light matches the natural frequency of the material. The energy from the light is transferred to the material, causing it to vibrate and absorb the light.

If both of these balls are traveling down a bowling lane at the SAME speed, which one would would have more kinetic energy?
Mariana [72]
<h2>Answer:</h2>

<u>Ball A has more kinetic energy</u>

<h2>Explanation:</h2>

As we know that Kinetic energy is given by

K. E = 1/2 mv²

Since K E is dependent upon both mass and velocity so increasing mass will produce more kinetic energy if the speed remains constant

As the mass of ball A is greater than ball B so we can say that the kinetic energy of ball is more than ball B
