When two mechanical waves that have positive displacements from the equilibrium position meet and coincide, a constructive interference occurs.
Option A
<h3><u>
Explanation:</u></h3>
Considering the principle of superposition of waves; the resultant amplitude of an output wave due to interference of two or more waves at any point is given by individual addition of their amplitudes at that point. Two waves with positive displacements refer to the fact that crest of the both the waves are on the same side of displacement axis, either both are positive or both are negative, similarly with their troughs.
If such two waves with their crest on crest meet at any point, by superposition principle. their individual amplitude gets added up and hence the resultant wave after interference is greater in amplitude that both the individual waves. This is termed as a constructive interference. Destructive interference on the other hand is a condition when one of the two waves has a positive displacement and other has a negative displacement (a condition of one’s crest on other’s trough); resulting in amplitude subtraction.
"Balanced" means that if there's something pulling one way, then there's also
something else pulling the other way.
-- If there's a kid sitting on one end of a see-saw, and another one with the
same weight sitting on the other end, then the see-saw is balanced, and
neither end goes up or down. It's just as if there's nobody sitting on it.
-- If there's a tug-of-war going on, and there are 300 freshmen pulling on one
end of a rope, and another 300 freshmen pulling in the opposite direction on
the other end of the rope, then the hanky hanging from the middle of the rope
doesn't move. The pulls on the rope are balanced, and it's just as if nobody
is pulling on it at all.
-- If a lady in the supermarket is pushing her shopping cart up the aisle, and her
two little kids are in front of the cart pushing it in the other direction, backwards,
toward her. If the kids are strong enough, then the forces on the cart can be
balanced. Then the cart doesn't move at all, and it's just as if nobody is pushing
on it at all.
From these examples, you can see a few things:
-- There's no such thing as "a balanced force" or "an unbalanced force".
It's a <em><u>group</u> of forces</em> that is either balanced or unbalanced.
-- The group of forces is balanced if their strengths and directions are
just right so that each force is canceled out by one or more of the others.
-- When the group of forces on an object is balanced, then the effect on the
object is just as if there were no force on it at all.
<span>A capacitor with a very large capacitance is in series with a capacitor
that has a very small capacitance.
The capacitance of the series combination is slightly smaller than the
capacitance of the small capacitor. (choice-C)
The capacitance of a series combination is
1 / (1/A + 1/B + 1/C + 1/D + .....) .
If you wisk, fold, knead, and mash that expression for a while,
you find that for only two capacitors in series, (or 2 resistors or
two inductors in parallel), the combination is
(product of the 2 individuals) / (sum of the individuals) .
In this problem, we have a humongous one and a tiny one.
Let's call them 1000 and 1 .
Then the series combination is
(1000 x 1) / (1000 + 1)
= (1000) / (1001)
= 0.999 000 999 . . .
which is smaller than the smaller individual.
It'll always be that way. </span>
It depends on your weight, your hieght, and how fast you are falling
A wave is a result of the disturbance in the equilibrium state. There are two types of wave, transverse and longitudinal. Transverse wave affects amplitude while longitudinal wave affects the frequency of the wave. As for the transverse wave, the magnitude of the perpendicular disturbance of the wave is directly proportional to the amplitude of the wave. The higher the transverse disturbance the higher the amplitude.
