Answer:

No, the resulting wave in the diagram does not demonstrate destructive interference. The resulting wave in the diagram shows a bigger wave than Wave 1 or Wave 2. If it demonstrated destructive interference, it would be a smaller wave or a horizontal line. With destructive interference, waves break down to form a smaller wave, or cancel each other out, resulting in no wave formation.

Answer: The amplitude is 0. (assuming that the amplitude ot both initial waves is the same)

Explanation:

When two monochromatic light waves of the same wavelength and same amplitude undergo destructive interference, means that the peak of one of the waves coincides with the trough of the other, so the waves "cancel" each other in that point in space.

Then if two light waves undergo destructive interference, the amplitude of the resultant wave in that particular point is 0.

The car in the figure travels at a constant speed along the road shown. Draw vector showing its acceleration at the point C if t

Answer:

The vector form is as shown in the attachment

Explanation:

The figure as shown in the diagram, indicates that the car is moving along the road at a constant speed. Centripetal acceleration comes into play for an object moving in a circular motion at uniform speed. The centripetal acceleration is the acceleration experienced by an object while in uniform circular motion.

Mathematically from centripetal acceleration; a = v2/r

The equation shows that there is an inverse relationship between the acceleration and the radius of curvature as such the radius of curvature at the point A will be more than the radius of curvature at the point C, this shows that the centripetal acceleration at point C will be more than the centripetal acceleration at point A.

The attachment shows the figure and the representation in vectorial form.
