Two point sources, vibrating in phase, produce an interferencepattern in a ripple tank. if the frequency is increased by 20%, thenumber of nodal lines:

a) is increased by 20%
b) is increased by 40%
c) remains the same
d) is decreased by 20%
e) is decreased by 40%

option A

Explanation:

given,

frequency is increased by 20%

we know,

...........(1)

where

x_n is the perpendicular distance between the point the interference pattern is obtained,

L is the distance between the center of the two point sources

and λ is  the wavelength of light.

If the frequency is increased by 20%, then the number of nodal lines is increased by 20%.

From equation (1),we observe that the frequency is directly proportional to the number of nodal lines.

Hence, the correct answer is option A

find the surface area of the sphere to the nearest square unit. use a calculator.

a. 254 in.2

b. 64 in.2

c. 127 in.2

d. 1,018 in.2

the design of a ski jumping suit involves a trade-off between giving the skiers lift to get higher jumps and ensuring the skier does not face a lot of drag before the jump itself. an expansive suit may to lift the skier higher, but at the same time, it will also increase the air resistance. higher air resistance as the skier goes down the slope limits the speed of the jump. a big suit also increases the risk of losing balance or control, especially if there's a strong gust of wind. while technologically enhanced suits a lot, clothing is not the only factor in a ski jumper’s success. gathering speed while skiing down the slope, ensuring good speed on the ramp, and maintaining good body posture and form in the air all contribute to a ski jumper's success.
