If two monochromatic light waves undergo destructive interference, the amplitude of the resultant wave is

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.

Why is Earth’s North Pole a geographic north pole but a south seeking pole magnetically?
natima [27]

Answer:It is actually the South Magnetic pole

Explanation:The magnetic pole near earth's geographic north pole is actually the south magnetic pole. When it comes to magnets, opposites attract. This fact means that the north end of a magnet in a compass is attracted to the south magnetic pole, which lies close to the geographic north pole.

Which of the following statements describes a compound machine?
ASHA 777 [7]
From the word compound, the compound machine is already a combination of two or more types of simple machine. Thus, the answer is letter C. Because of its complexity, it is able to perform several other functions than a simple one.

Identify the correct sequence for the formation and use of coal.
Zanzabum

The correct answer is - A. Plants store solar energy; the plants die; the plants are compressed; solar energy is released;

The plants use the solar energy for their functioning, thus they are one of the biggest natural storage of it. The plants also use the CO2 for the process of photosynthesis that is driven by the solar energy. When the plants die, the things inside them are stored in them, and if they are quickly covered they will remain stored and not get back into the atmosphere. The plants than are compressed, and over time that leads to a change in their composition. After millions of years had passed, the solar energy and CO2 had turned into coal. The coal is heavily used by the humans in the past few centuries, and with its burning the solar energy and the CO2 are released back into the atmosphere from which they came millions of years ago.

Two cars having different weights are traveling on a level surface at different constant velocities. Within the same time interv
GuDViN [60]

I think you're saying that once you start pushing on the cars, you want to be able to stop each one in the same time. 

This is sneaky.  At first, I thought it must be both 'c' and 'd'.  But it's not
kinetic energy, for reasons I'm not ambitious enough to go into.
(And besides, there's no great honor awarded around here for explaining
why any given choice is NOT the answer.)

The answer is momentum.

Momentum is (mass x speed).  Change in momentum is (force x time).

No matter the weight (mass) or speed of the car, the one with the greater
momentum is always the one that will require the greater (force x time)
to stop it.  If the time is the same for any car, then more momentum
will always require more force.
