- Q6Two light sources are said to be coherent if they __________.are of the same frequency.are of the same amplitude, and maintain a constant phase difference.are of the same frequency and amplitude.are of the same frequency, and maintain a constant phase difference.30s
- Q7He is a Dutch physicist who states that if the position of a wave front at one instant is known, then the position of the front at a later time can be constructed by imagining the front as a source of secondary wavelets.Users enter free textType an Answer30s
- Q8It is a type of interference that occurs when the two interfering waves have a displacement in the same direction, therefore, they are “in-phase” and will combine together and increase the amplitude.Users enter free textType an Answer30s
- Q9This principle refers to the bending or spreading of a wave through an opening or an obstacle.Users enter free textType an Answer30s
- Q10This principle states that when two or more waves overlap, the resultant displacement at any point and at any instant is found by adding the instantaneous displacements that would be produced at the point by the individual waves if each were present alone.Users enter free textType an Answer30s
