Answer:

In constructive waves, a <u><em>greater</em></u> amplitude wave is formed. In destructive waves, a wave with a <u><em>smaller</em></u> amplitude is formed. (option A)

Explanation:

Interference is called the superposition or sum of two or more waves. Depending mainly on the wavelengths, amplitudes and the relative distance between them, there are two types of interference: constructive or destructive.

Constructive interference occurs when there are two waves of identical or similar frequency (both have motions equal to an even number of similar wavelengths) and overlap the peak of one with the peak of the other. These effects add together and make a wave of greater amplitude. All of this is possible because the waves were in the same phase in the beginning (in the same position).

Destructive interference occurs in the opposite case to constructive. When the crest of one wave overlaps the valley of the other, they cancel out since they are in different phases when they overlap (they were in different positions). That is, as in the case of constructive waves they were added, in the case of destructive waves they cancel out (subtract).

So, <u><em>In constructive waves, a greater amplitude wave is formed. In destructive waves, a wave with a smaller amplitude is formed. </em></u>

Describes the relationship between the free energy change, the reaction quotient, and the equilibrium constant.
LUCKY_DIMON [66]

<u>Explanation:</u>

Reaction quotient is defined as the ratio of the concentration of the products and reactants of a reaction at any point of time with respect to some unit. It is represented by the symbol <em>Q</em>.

The ratio of the concentration of products and reactants of a reaction in equilibrium with respect to some unit is said to be equilibrium constant expression. It is represented by the symbol <em>K</em>.

The relationship between Gibbs free energy change and reaction quotient of the reaction is:

\Delta G=\Delta G^o+RT ln Q           ......(1)

where,

\Delta G = Gibbs free energy change

\Delta G^o = Standard Gibbs free energy change

R = Gas constant

T = Temperature

At equilibrium, the free energy change of the reaction becomes 0 and standard Gibbs free energy change can be related to the equilibrium constant by the equation:

\Delta G^o=-RT ln Q           ...(2)

A gas sample is confined within a chamber that has a movable piston. A small load is placed on the piston; and the system is all
timurjin [86]

Explanation:

It is given that,

Total weight of the piston, W = F = 70 N

Area of the piston, a=5\times 10^{-4}\ m^2

Let P is the pressure exerted on the piston by the gas. The force per unit area is called the pressure exerted pressure of the gas. Mathematically, it is given by :

P=\dfrac{F}{A}

P=\dfrac{70\ N}{5\times 10^{-4}\ m^2}

P=1.4\times 10^5\ Pa

We know that the atmospheric pressure is given by :

P_o=1.013\times 10^5\ Pa

So, the pressure is given by :

p=P+P_o

p=1.4\times 10^5+1.013\times 10^5

p=2.41\times 10^5\ Pa

Hence, this is the required solution.

An inventor claims to have developed a power cycle having a thermal efficiency of 40%, while operating between hot and cold rese
lesya [120]

From Carnot's theorem, for any engine working between these two temperatures:


efficiency <= (1-tc/th) * 100


Given: tc = 300k (from question assuming it is not 5300 as it seems)

For a, th = 900k, efficiency = (1-300/900) = 70%

For b, th = 500k, efficiency = (1-300/500) = 40% 

For c, th = 375k, efficiency = (1-300/375) = 20% 


Hence in case of a and b, efficiency claimed is lesser than efficiency calculated, which is valid case and in case of c, however efficiency claimed is greater which is invalid.
