When energy is added to a wave, how can the wave change?.

Physics
1 answer:
nadya68 [22]2 years ago
6 0

Answer:

When waves overlap in-phase (crest meets crest or trough meets trough) the waves energy is additive and the amplitude increases.

Explanation:

When waves overlap out-of-phase (crest meets trough) the waves cancel and the amplitude (energy) decreases. When two interfering waves cancel each other out.

You skip north for 12 minutes to your best friend's house that is 1.5 kilometers away. What is your average velocity?
bagirrra123 [75]

Answer:

The average velocity is 7.5 km/h

Explanation:

Let's convert minutes to hours so our answer can be given in a common units of km/hour:

12 minutes = 12/60  hours = 0.2 hours

Now we estimate the average velocity calculating the distance travelled over the time it took:

1.5 / 0.2 km/h = 7.5 km/h

A screen is placed 1.20m behind a single slit. The central maximum in the resulting diffraction pattern on the screen is 1.40cm
andrew11 [14]

Answer:

2.8 cm

Explanation:

y_1 = Separation between two first order diffraction minima = 1.4 cm

D = Distance of screen = 1.2 m

m = Order

Fringe width is given by

\beta_1=\dfrac{y_1}{2}\\\Rightarrow \beta_1=\dfrac{1.4}{2}\\\Rightarrow \beta_1=0.7\ cm

Fringe width is also given by

\beta_1=\dfrac{m_1\lambda D}{d}\\\Rightarrow d=\dfrac{m_1\lambda D}{\beta_1}

For second order

\beta_2=\dfrac{m_2\lambda D}{d}\\\Rightarrow \beta_2=\dfrac{m_2\lambda D}{\dfrac{m_1\lambda D}{\beta_1}}\\\Rightarrow \beta_2=\dfrac{m_2}{m_1}\beta_1

Distance between two second order minima is given by

y_2=2\beta_2

\\\Rightarrow y_2=2\dfrac{m_2}{m_1}\beta_1\\\Rightarrow y_2=2\dfrac{2}{1}\times 0.7\\\Rightarrow y_2=2.8\ cm

The distance between the two second order minima is 2.8 cm

A transmission diffraction grating with 420 lines/mm is used to study the light intensity of di event orders (n). A screen is lo
Goshia [24]

Answer:

Explanation:

Diffraction grating is used to form interference pattern of dark and bright band.

Distance between adjacent slits (a ) = 1 / 420 mm

= 2.38 x 10⁻³ mm

2.38 x 10⁻⁶ m

wave length of red light

= 680 x 10⁻⁹ m

For bright red band

position x on the screen

= n λD / a ,         n = 0,1,2,3 etc

D = distance of screen

putting n = 1 , 2 and 3 , we can get three locations of bright red band.

x₁ = λD / a

=  680 x 10⁻⁹ x 2.8 / 2.38 x 10⁻⁶

= .8 m

= 80 cm

Position of second bright band

= 2 λD / a

= 2 x 80

= 160 cm

Position of third bright band

= 3 λD / a

= 3 x 80

= 240 cm
