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.

At a particular instant, a proton at the origin has velocity < 5e4, -2e4, 0> m/s. You need to calculate the magnetic field

vesna_86 [32]

Answer:

$9.7\times 10^{-5} T$

Explanation:

Velocity = $5\times 10^4i-2\times 10^4j$

r= $0.03i+0.05j$

r= $\mid r\mid=\sqrt{(0.03)^2+(0.05)^2}=0.058$

v= $\mid V\mid=\sqrt{(5\times 10^4)^2+(-2\times 10^{4})^2}=5.39\times 10^{2}$

We know that

$B=\frac{mv}{qr}$

Where q= $1.6\times 10^{-19} C$

Mass of proton= $1.67\times 10^{-27} kg$

Using the formula

$B=\frac{1.67\times 10^{-27}\times 5.39\times 10^2}{1.6\times 10^{-19}\times 0.058}$

$B=9.7\times 10^{-5} T$

Two diverging light rays, originating from the same point, have an angle of 5° between them. After the rays reflect from a plane

LuckyWell [14K]

As a reference, consider the line from the point perpendicular to the mirror.
That direction is called 'normal' to the mirror.

The ray on the right leaves the point traveling 5° to the right of the normal,
and leaves the mirror on a path that's 10° to the right of the normal.

The ray on the left leaves the point traveling 5° to the left of the normal,
and leaves the mirror on a path that's 10° to the left of the normal.

The angle between the two rays after they leave the mirror is 20° .

Frankly, Charlotte, if there were more than 5 points available for this answer,
I'd seriously consider giving you a drawing too.

Light is an example of something that travels in waves. Light waves come in many different varieties, and can be seen as many di

Anuta_ua [19.1K]

Answer:

Option (B)

Explanation:

Light is a form of electro-magnetic waves. This light wave has distinct range of wavelength that allows it to form different colors of light. This means that the color of the light produces depending on the amount of wavelength it comprises.

The visible light ranges from Violet to Red, and this is observed as different colors when each of these electromagnetic waves strikes our eyes at a certain angle. The violet light has the shortest wavelength of about 410 nm, where the red light has the highest wavelength of about 650 nm.

Thus, the correct answer is option (B).
