Answer:

(B) a whole number of wavelengths.

Explanation:

Two beams of coherent light start out at the same point in phase and travel different paths to arrive at point P. If the maximum destructive interference is to occur at point P, the two beams must travel paths that differ by a whole number of wavelengths.

When the resultant effect of the combination of two identical waves result in their annihilation or complete cancellation of the effect of each other, destructive interference takes place. Hence to have two wave sources producing waves that have the same frequency wavelength and amplitude and which are always in phase with each other or have a constant phase difference are said to be Coherent source

Si un cuerpo adquiere una carga de -0,02 C, ha ganado o ha perdido electrones? Cuantos?
sammy [17]

Question :

If a body acquires a charge of -0.02 C, has it gained or lost electrons? Many?

Solution :

We know, charge gained is shown by negative sign.

Since, charged acquired is given as -0.02 C .

Therefore, it is body has gained electrons.

Now, number of electrons is given by :

n = \dfrac{net\ charge}{charge \  on \ one \  electron}\\\\n = \dfrac{-0.02}{-1.60 \times 10^{-19}}\\\\n = 1.25\times 10^{17}

Hence, this is the required solution.

The displacement of a wave traveling in the positive x-direction is y(x, t)|= (3.5 cm)cos(2.7x − 92t), where x is in m and t is
zubka84 [21]

Answer

Given,

y(x, t) = (3.5 cm) cos(2.7 x − 92 t)

comparing the given equation with general equation

y(x,t) = A cos(k x - ω t)

 A = 3.5 cm  , k = 2.7 rad/m    , ω = 92 rad/s

we know,

a) ω =2πf

   f = 92/ 2π

   f = 14.64 Hz

b) Wavelength of the wave

 we now, k = 2π/λ

      2π/λ = 2.7

      λ = 2 π/2.7

      λ = 2.33 m

c) Speed of wave

     v = ν λ

     v = 14.64 x 2.33

     v = 34.11 m/s

One acre is equal to 43560ft².How much is it in m²?​
Goryan [66]

1 ft²= 0.09290304m²

so:

43560ft²= 0.09290304m²×43560

= 4,046.8564224 m²
