Explanation

• Destructive interference occurs when two waves meet and their displacements cancel each other.
• It occurs when the path difference is an odd multiple of half the wavelength.
• Complete cancellation occurs when the waves have equal amplitudes and are exactly opposite in phase.

Explanation

• In longitudinal waves, particles of the medium vibrate parallel to the direction of wave propagation.
• These waves consist of compressions and rarefactions.
• Sound waves in air are a common example of longitudinal waves.

Explanation

Given:

Object distance (u) = 30 cm

Focal length (f) = 15 cm

2 x f = 2 x 15 = 30 cm

So object is at 2F.

Lens formula:

1/f = 1/v + 1/u

1/15 = 1/v + 1/30

1/v = 1/15 - 1/30

1/v = 1/30

v = 30 cm

Image also forms at 30 cm on other side.

Magnification = v / u = 30 / 30 = 1

Magnification 1 means image size = object size.

Answer: The same - inverted and same size.

• Blue light has the shortest wavelength.
• In the visible spectrum, wavelength decreases from red to violet.

Additional information:

• Red light rays have the lowest frequency and highest wavelength value.

Explanation

• Drag force opposes an object's motion through a fluid, such as air or water.
• Drag force generally increases as the object's speed increases.
• At ordinary speeds, drag is often proportional to speed; at higher speeds, it is commonly proportional to the square of speed.

Explanation

• Newton’s Second Law states that the net force equals mass multiplied by acceleration.
• Acceleration can be calculated by dividing the net force by the object's mass.
• The SI unit of acceleration is metres per second squared (m/s²).

Explanation

• Power and Mass is a scalar quantity because it has only magnitude.
• Power describes the rate of doing work in physics.
• It is measured in watts (W).

Additional information:

• Scalar quantities include: mass, time, temperature, energy.
• Vector quantities include: displacement, velocity, acceleration, force.

Explanation

• All electromagnetic waves (like light, X-rays, and radio waves) travel through a vacuum at the same constant speed.
• It is approximately 3 × 10⁸ meters per second.
• This speed is known as the speed of light in a vacuum.
