Expert Solution

solution:

constructive interference occurs whenever two waves comes together that they are in phase with each other.this means that oscillation at given point is in same direction.

resulting amplitude is sum of individual amplitude of each wave . if both wave have same amplitude then resulting wave have twice amplitude then individual amplitude.phase shift will be π/2 .

(2) destructive interference

destructive interference occurs when two waves comes together such that they completely cancel other out.when two wave interference destructively ,they must have same amplitude in opposite direction. When there are more than two waves interfering the situation is a little more complicated; the net result is that they all combine in some way to produce zero amplitude. in destructive interference , path difference is equal to an odd or an even number of half-wavelength.phase shift will be π ( 180 degree) .

Learning Goal: To gain an understanding of constructive and destructive interference. Consider two sinusoidal waves (1 and 2) of identical wavelength λ, period T, and maximum amplitude A. A snapshot of one of these waves taken at a certain time is displayed in the figure below. (Figure 1) Let y1(x,t) and y2(x,t) represent the displacement of each wave at position x at time t. If these waves were to be in the same location (x) at the same time, they...

With the use of a phase shift, the position of an object may be modeled as a cosine or sine function (as a function of time). If given the option, which function would you choose (Note: this is an open-ended question; there is no wrong answer; just be sure to explain your choice)? Assuming zero phase shift, if you are using a sine function to model the position of an object, what are the initial conditions of the oscillator---that is,...

C. Anti-reflection coatings So far you have explored constructive interference from multi-layer thin films. It is also possible for interference to be destructive, a phenomenon exploited in making antireflection coatings for optical elements such as eyeglasses. In order to allow the lenses to be thinner (and thus lighter weight), eyeglass lenses can be made of a plastic that has a high index of refraction (n p = 1.70). The high index causes the plastic to reflect light more effectively than...
