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

Daltons theory was identified using
Margaret [11]
<h2>Answer with Explanation </h2>

Dalton’s theory can be classified by the following hypotheses:

1) All material was formed of particles, unbreakable and strong construction segments.

2) All particles of a given component are indistinguishable in volume and characteristics

3) Compounds are determined by a mixture of two or more distinct kinds of atoms.

4) Chemical responses appeared in the rearrangement of the reacting atoms.

This theory was to explain all matter in terms of atoms and their characteristics, the law of conservation of volume and the law of constant composition.

A hammer is used to hit a nail into a board. Which statement is correct about the forces at play between the nail and the hammer
emmasim [6.3K]

Answer:

Hewo My Lovelys!!

Answer is down below!!

Explanation:

The answer is C) The nail exerts an equal force on the hammer in the opposite direction.

Reason: The Newtons third law states that there is an equal an opposite reaction for every action. When hammer pushes the nail, the nail will push the hammer back in opposite direction. When the hammer hits a nail then nail will exert the equal and opposite force to the hammer. These both objects will exert force on each other in opposite directions.

Hope this helps!! =3

Have a great day, evening, of night!! <3

Question: Is a flame matter?<br> .<br> Claim: (Write a statement that answers the question)
Alenkinab [10]

Answer:

Matter is anything that has mass and occupies space. The flame itself is a mixture of gases (vaporized fuel, oxygen, carbon dioxide, carbon monoxide, water vapor, and many other things) and so is matter. <em><u>The light produced by the flame is energy, not matter.</u></em>

<em><u></u></em>
