Two light waves of equal wavelength, lambda, are emitted in phase from separate sources and propagate to a common point P. Light

wave 1 must travel a longer distance (d1) than light wave 2 (d2) to reach point P, where d1 – d2 is equal to the path difference between the two light waves. If the two waves interfere constructively at point P, what must be true about the path difference between the two light waves?

Answer:

The path difference must be equal to an integral (1 * lambda, 2 * lambda, -------n * lambda) number of wavelengths for constructive interference to occur.

Consider two parallel plate capacitors. The plates on Capacitor B have half the area as the plates on Capacitor A, and the plate
vichka [17]

Answer:

CB = 4.45 x 10⁻⁹ F = 4.45 nF

Explanation:

The capacitance of a parallel plate capacitor is given by the following formula:

C = ε₀A/d

where,

C = Capacitance

ε₀ = Permeability of free space

A = Area of plates

d = Distance between plates

FOR CAPACITOR A:

C = CA = 17.8 nF = 17.8 x 10⁻⁹ F

A = A₁

d = d₁

Therefore,

CA = ε₀A₁/d₁ = 17.8 x 10⁻⁹ F   ----------------- equation 1

FOR CAPACITOR B:

C = CB = ?

A = A₁/2

d = 2 d₁

Therefore,

CB = ε₀(A₁/2)/2d₁

CB = (1/4)(ε₀A₁/d₁)

using equation 1:

CB = (1/4)(17.8 X 10⁻⁹ F)

<u>CB = 4.45 x 10⁻⁹ F = 4.45 nF</u>

Car A has twice the mass of Car B; both travel at the same speed. Compared to Car B. Car A has:
krek1111 [17]

Answer:

Car A has twice the energy of car B.

Explanation:

The kinetic energy of an object is given by :

K=\dfrac{1}{2}mv^2

Where

m is the mass

v is the speed of the object

Car A has twice the mass of Car B. Both travel at the same speed i.e.

m_A=2m_B

So,

\dfrac{K_A}{K_B}=\dfrac{(1/2)m_Av^2}{(1/2)m_Bv^2}\\\\=\dfrac{2m_B}{m_B}\\\\\dfrac{K_A}{K_B}=2\\\\K_A=2\times K_B

So, the kinetic energy of car A is twice of the kinetic energy of car B.

How can we measure magnitude of displacement from a v-t curve?​
Ratling [72]

Answer:

The displacement can be calculated by measuring the area of the curve when we move along the t curve. So, that would give the displacement.

Which determines the pitch of a sound? A. At the same wavelength, the sound with the most cycles per second will have the highes
kipiarov [429]
This would be known to be determined by its sound wave which would be the amplitude. The pitch of sound would actually be a little differenr in this matter. But know that we know and understand the sound wave of the pitch of sound, we know that this is done by amplitude.
