<h3><u>Answer;</u></h3>

Iron cannot release energy by fusion.

<h3><u>Explanation;</u></h3>

Supernovae are some of the most magnificent events in the cosmos. When a massive star dies, it can result in a spectacular explosion many times that of man's total nuclear arsenal.
When a star has used up all the lighter elements and has just iron left, it has no more nuclear "fuel". That causes the star to contract then explode very violently as a supernova.

Two loudspeakers in a 20c room emit 686 hz sound waves along the x-axis.a. if the speakers are in phase, what is the smallest di

jeyben [28]

<u>Answer :</u>

(a) d = 0.25 m

(b) d = 0.5 m

<u>Explanation :</u>

It is given that,

Frequency of sound waves, f = 686 Hz

Speed of sound wave at $20^0\ C$ is, v = 343 m/s

(1) Perfectly destructive interference occurs when the path difference is half integral multiple of wavelength i.e.

$d=\dfrac{\lambda}{2}$ ........(1)

Velocity of sound wave is given by :

$v=f\times \lambda$

$d=\dfrac{v}{2f}$

$d=\dfrac{343\ m/s}{2\times 686\ Hz}$

$d=0.25\ m$

Hence, when the speakers are in phase the smallest distance between the speakers for which the interference of the sound waves is perfectly destructive is 0.25 m.

(2) For constructive interference, the path difference is integral multiple of wavelengths i.e.

$d=n\lambda$ ( n = integers )

Let n = 1

So, $d=\dfrac{v}{f}$

$d=\dfrac{343\ m/s}{686\ Hz}$

$d=0.5\ m$

Hence, the smallest distance between the speakers for which the interference of the sound waves is maximum constructive is 0.5 m.
