Answer:

Today, to benefit humankind, radiation is used in medicine, academics, and industry, as well as for generating electricity. In addition, radiation has useful applications in such areas as agriculture, archaeology (carbon dating), space exploration, law enforcement, geology (including mining), and many others.

balandron [24]
Hey

Potential Difference given is : 2V

Resistance is : 2 ohms

By Ohm's Law, one can easily utilize the relation :

v = ir

Where, { v , i , r } are the potential difference, current and Resistance Respectively.


Hence,
i =  \frac{v}{r}  =  \frac{2}{2}  = 1a

Hence, the Current is 1 Ampere

Constructive interference will occur, which means the waves will combine.

In destructive inference, the waves cancel each other out.

Hope this helps :)

You are watching a wave with a frequency of 512 Hz go past. How many peaks of the wave go past you each minute?
inna [77]

Answer:

61440 peaks

Explanation:

A hertz represents one cycle for every second:

f= Hz=\frac{1}{s}

So if a wave have frequency of 2Hz for example, this means the wave does two cycles per second.

Normally the waves are represented by cosine or sine waves. These kind of waves have two peaks in each cycle, one positive and one negative. With this in mind, let's calculate how many peaks of the wave pass each minute.

A minute has 60 seconds, hence:

60*512=30720\hspace{3}cycles\hspace{3}per\hspace{3}minute

And we know already that every cycle has two peaks, so:

30720*2=61440\hspace{3}peaks\hspace{3}per\hspace{3}minute
