A sinusoidal voltage waveform is rectified so that it becomes a half-wave waveform (i.e. the bottom half has been "chopped off"). Determine:
i) The average p.d.
ii) The RMS p.d.
iii) The heat dissipated in a 200ohm resistor in 100sHomework Equations

Thanks for your reply.
So can we approximate the surface velocity to be zero?
In which case:
p_{1} + \frac{1}{2} \rho v_{1}^2 + \rho gh = p_{2} + \frac{1}{2} \rho v_{2}^2
But since p_{1} = p_{2} and v_{1}=0 then we get v_{2} = \sqrt{2gh} .

Two equal point sources S1 and S2 are a distance d apart. They emit waves in phase, of wavelength \lambda. P is a point on the line passing through the mid-point of S1S2 and making an angle \theta with the centre line; the distance of P from S1 or S2 is very much greater...
