Two identical sinusoidal waves with wavelengths of 2.5 m travel in the same direction with the same speed. The two waves start at the same instant, but they differ by path difference. Wave-1 travels a distance x, to get to some observation point, while wave-2 travels a distance x. The amplitude of the resultant wave due to interference would be zero at the observation point if the path difference between the two waves, Ax = X2 - X1, is: 3.75 m 4.375 m O 2.5 m O 3.125 m

Water waves are called deep-water waves when the depth of the water is much greater than the wavelength of the wave. The speed of deep-water waves depends on the wavelength as follows: v = √gλ/2πSuppose you are on a ship at rest in the ocean, observing the crests of a passing sinusoidal wave. You estimate that the crests are 75 m apart. In the deep ocean, a longer-wavelength wave travels faster than a shorter-wavelength wave. Thus, a higher-frequency wave travels ______ a lower-frequency wave.A. Faster thanB. At the same speed asC. Slower than
