Question 8

What are coherent waves?

Answer 8

Coherent waves are waves released from different sources with constant phase difference - which implies same wavelength and frequency.

Question 9

What does a stand for in the formula: wavelength =ax/D ?

Answer 9

a is the separation between the double slits.

Question 10

What does x stand for in the formula: wavelength =ax/D ?

Answer 10

X stands for the distance between adjacent bright/ adjacent dark fringes.

Question 11

What does D stand for in the formula: wavelength =ax/D ?

Answer 11

D stands for the distance between the slits and the screen.

Question 12

What is the principle of superstition of waves?

Answer 12

At the point where two or more waves meet the resultant displacement is the sun if the individual displacements.
