Question
The diagram at the right represents the interference pattern created by two water waves. The waves were created by two objects bobbing up and down in phase at the same frequency. Point P on the pattern is a distance of 36.9 cm from S1 and 61.5 cm from S2. Determine the wavelength (in cm) of the water waves.

Explain!arrow_forwardTwo sources of electromagnetic waves (light waves) are emitting coherent waves at a frequency of 717 THz. These two sources are located a distance d apart and aimed at point A, as shown below. If the top source is located a distance 3.0 meters away from point A, find the minimum, nonzero, distance d that will give constructive interreference.

- Draw a figure to show the resultant wave produced when two coherent waves (with equal amplitudes x) interact in phase. What is the amplitude of the resultant wave? If the phase difference between the coherent waves is changed to 60º, what will be new amplitude?arrow_forwardPlease download the following worksheets, which show 4 separate grids. Each grid has two different waves (e.g., Wave and Wave B). Your goal is to draw the resulting wave (i.e., Wave C) if the two waves would have been superposed on top of each other. To do this, you'll need to add the two amplitudes (height of the Wave A and Wave B on the y-axis) at a given point on the x-axis to get the resulting one. For example, using number 3 as an example: a. At point 0 on the x axis, Wave A has an amplitude of 0, and Wave B has an amplitude of 0, so Wave C at point 0 would be 0. b. At point 4 on the x axis, Wave A has an amplitude of 6, and Wave B has an amplitude of 4, so Wave C at point 3 would have an amplitude of 10. c. At point 8 on the x axis. Wave A has an amplitdue of 0, and Wave B has an amplitude of -4, so Wave C at point 8 would be -4. You do not have to find the points for every single point along the x-axis, but just enough to get the general shape of the resulting wave. Once you…arrow_forwardThere are 4 waves of wavelengths: λ1 = 10m, λ2 = = 620 × 10⁹m, 12 = 450 × 10¯⁹m, λ4 = 30 x 10-10m. The subscripts in the answer part follow the same rule as it was given for the wavelengths: 1 refers to the 1st wave, 2nd refers to the 2nd waves, 3rd refers to the 3rd wave, 4 refers to the 4th wave. Select all that apply: the 4th wave is an UV radiation. The 2nd frequency corresponds to the radio wave range. All the wavelengths correspond to the electromagnetic spectrum only one wavelength is part of the visible spectrum The radiation with the highest energy is the 1st wave. The radiation with the highest energy is the 4th wave. The relation between their frequencies is f₁ f2 > f3 < f4 The speeds of the waved depends on their wavelength. The 1st frequency corresponds to the radio wave range.arrow_forward
