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

Problem: Hooke's law states that the force on a spring varies directly with the distance that it is stretched. If a spring has a
Scorpion4ik [409]

Answer:

Restoring force of the spring is 50 N.

Explanation:

Given that,

Spring constant of the spring, k = 100 N/m

Stretching in the spring, x = 0.5 m

We need to find the restoring force of the spring. It can be calculated using Hooke's law as "the force on a spring varies directly with the distance that it is stretched".

F=kx

F=100\ N/m\times 0.5\ m

F = 50 N

So, the restoring force of the spring is 50 N. Hence, this is the required solution.

2. A solution that contains a small amount of salt and a large amount of water is said to be a _______ solution.
koban [17]
2. A dilute solution means that the amount of solvent (water, for this particular case) is significantly larger than the solute (salt). Thus, the answer is D. 6. John Dalton's atomic theory states that matter is made up of tiny indestructible objects called matter. The theory also indicates that although same elements have the same atoms, each element have unique set atoms that deinfe them. From this, we can conclude that the wrong assumption is C. 9. Atoms, by default, are electrically neutral. When an atom loses or gains electron/s, then they become ionized atoms or commonly called as ions. Thus, ionized atoms imply unequal number of protons and electrons. This means the answer must be A. 11. Analgesics are commonly used to relieve pain. Thus, the answer is C. 14. Adding up the atomic mass of the individual atoms will give you the molar mass of a compound. Therefore, the answer is B.: 15. The pH scale provides us the alkalinity or acidity of a solution based on the value. A value between 0 to 6 indicates that the solution is acidic. 7 is considered neutral and a value between 7 and 14 indicates that the solution is basic. Thus, the answer is D. 19. An element has consistent properties and can no longer be further identified into having individual properties. Thus, the answer is A. 20. The valence of an element dependeds on the number of electrons on the outermost shell. Thus, it is equal to the number of charge negative or positive charges on the ion. Hence, we have A<span>. :</span>
