Answer:
(a) 1320 W
(b) 480 W
(c) E':E ≈ 11:2
Explanation:
(a) Applying,
P' = VI'................. Equation 1
Where P' = Power of the blow-dryer, V = Voltage, I = current rating of the blow-dryer.
From the question,
Given: V = 120 V, I' = 11 A
Substitute these values into equation 1
P = (120×11)
P = 1320 W
(b) Similarly,
P = VI................... Equation 2
Where P = Power of the vacuum cleaner. I = current rating of the vacuum cleaner.
Also Given: I = 4 A,
Therefore
P = 4(120)
P = 480 W
(c)
E' = P'/t'............. Equation 3
E = P/t................ Equation 4
Where E' = Energy of the blow-dryer, t' = time of use of the blow-dryer, E = Energy of the vacuum cleaner, t = time of use of the vacuum cleaner
From the question,
Given: t' = 15 minutes = (15×60) = 900 seconds, t = 30 minutes = (30×60) = 1800 seconds
Substitute these values into equation 3 and 4
E' = 1320/900
E' = 1.47 J,
E = 480/1800
E = 0.267
Therefore,
E':E = 1.47:0.267
E':E ≈ 11:2
Answer: (B) There is complete destructive interference between the incoming and reflected waves
Explanation:
For example, if you pluck a guitar the waves will travel back and forth. They consist of nodes and anti-nodes. It is created, when the wave traveling to one side and bounces of the other end and comes back. As it travels to the other side, it is reflected thus, comes back. So standing waves occurs when there is interference.
When the wave is produced, the points where the string is not moving are called nodes and where they are moving are called anti-nodes. The positions where nodes are produced, destructive interference occurs and where anti-nodes are produced, constructive interference occurs
