Answer: When the electric field due to one is a maximum, the electric field due to the other is also a maximum, and this relation is maintained as time passes. They alternatively reinforce and cancel each other.
Explanation:
In a wave, the phase, is an arbitrary time reference, used to locate a given point of the wave in time, within a cycle.
Two waves can travel at the same speed, or even have the same wavelength, but this is not enough to be sure that at a given point in time, both waves will be in their maximum, as it only can be determined from the phase of the waves.
So, only when the waves reach at the same point in time at the same amplitude, we can say that they arrive in phase, in a constructive interference.
Answer:
- path differnce = 2.18*10^-6
- 1538 lines
Explanation:
- The path difference for the waves that produce the pattern of diffraction, is given by the following formula:
(1)
d: separation between slits = 0.50mm = 0.50*10^-3 m
θ: angle of a diffraction = 0.25°
Then, the path difference is:
- The maximum number of bright lines are calculated by using the following formula:
(2)
m: order of the bright
λ: wavelength = 650nm
The maximum bright is calculated for an angle of 90°:
The maxium number of bright lines are twice the previous result, that is, 1538 lines
Hi. The answer to your question is the first option.
The athlete isn’t doing any work because he doesn’t move the weight.
Hope this helps :))
The term period (symbol: T) describes the time it takes for an object to complete one full cycle of motion on a spring.
The formula for time is: T = 1 / f , where f is the frequency , f= c / λ = wave speed c (m/s) / wavelength λ (m)..
The formula describes that as the frequency of a wave increases, the time period of the wave decreases.
