The word "constructive" signifies addition in interference. Constructive interference occurs when the path of the waves that start from the slit differs by 1 entire wavelength or in the intervals of the same. Hence, the waves that are presented on the sc…

Chapter 28, Problem 35PCE

A radio broadcast antenna is 36.00 km from your house Suppose an airplane is flying 2.230 km above me line connecting the broadcast antenna and your radio and that waves reflected from the airplane travel 88.00 wavelengths farther than waves that travel directly from the antenna to your house, (a) Do you observe constructive or destructive interference between the direct and reflected waves? (Hint Does a phase change occur when the waves are reflected?) (b) The situation just described occurs when the plane is above a point on the ground that is two thirds of the way from the antenna to your house. What is the wavelength of the radio waves?

Assig Cengage Learning VHF, or very high frequency, refers to radio frequency electromagnetic waves in the range 30 to 300 MHz. In the U.S., television stations broadcast channels 2 through 13 in the VHF range betwe- 54.0 MHz and 216 MHz, with ranges 72.0 to 76.0 MHz and 88.0 to 174 MHz not utilized for TV broadcasting. Each channel has a frequency width of 6.00 MHz. The table below gives the lower and upper frequency of each channel.

Physics Time delay to Jupiter A radio pulse is sent from the Earth, reflected off a satellite of Jupiter (the satellite is a point), and received on Earth. Jupiter is a distance r2 from the Sun, the Earth is a distance r1. Assume that Jupiter is on the other side of the Sun relative to the Earth. Let r0 be the distance of closest approach of the radio pulse to the Sun. Calculate the gravitational delay in the round-trip time of the radio pulse as a function of r0, to lowest order in G.
