    Interference Wave
AI Thread Summary
The discussion focuses on plotting the interference patterns for wavelengths of lambda = d/4, d, and 2d. Participants seek clarification on whether to create a single graph displaying all three patterns or separate graphs for each. The suggested approach involves sketching sine-like graphs, connecting points of constructive and destructive interference, and indicating maxima and minima. There is a consensus on using a common curve to represent the patterns effectively. The goal is to visualize the differences in interference for the specified wavelengths clearly.

1. Show the plot of the maxima and minima (ie:points of cons and dest. interference) for lamda= d/4, d and 2d





3. I am not quite sure what it is asking for. Do I just draw a graph that shows all 3 patterns?

Sounds like it. Just graph the points, connect them with a common curve (prob something like a sin or cosine graph) and point out where the curve reaches its maximum and/ or minimum (concave up or down).
 
could someone help me see how i draw the 3 graphs. I was just going to sketch a sin like graph followed by a sin graph with a phase then a 3rd graph with a larger phase.
 
Thread 'Voltmeter readings for this circuit with switches'
TL;DR Summary: I would like to know the voltmeter readings on the two resistors separately in the picture in the following cases , When one of the keys is closed When both of them are opened (Knowing that the battery has negligible internal resistance) My thoughts for the first case , one of them must be 12 volt while the other is 0 The second case we'll I think both voltmeter readings should be 12 volt since they are both parallel to the battery and they involve the key within what the...
Thread 'Correct statement about a reservoir with an outlet pipe'
The answer to this question is statements (ii) and (iv) are correct. (i) This is FALSE because the speed of water in the tap is greater than speed at the water surface (ii) I don't even understand this statement. What does the "seal" part have to do with water flowing out? Won't the water still flow out through the tap until the tank is empty whether the reservoir is sealed or not? (iii) In my opinion, this statement would be correct. Increasing the gravitational potential energy of the...
