Explanation 1) Concept: The light intensity at a point on the receiver depends on the difference of path length from the transmitter; the intensity will be maximum at d s i n θ = m λ , when m is an integer, and for minimum intensity d s i n θ = m + 1 2 λ , with m = 0,1 , 2,3 , … But due to phase change of π r a d occurring due to reflection of wave from water, the point of minimum intensity will become point of maximum intensity in this case. 2) Formula: i) sin 2 ⁡ θ = tan 2 ⁡ θ 1 + tan 2 ⁡ θ ii) Binomial theorem 1 ± x 1 2 ≈ 1 ± 1 2 x + … + h i g h e r o r d e r t e r m s 3) Given: i) Lake width, D ii) Height of microwave transmitter from the water level, a iii) Height of receiver from the water level, x iv) Microwave with wavelength λ ≥ a 4) Calculations: Suppose the wave w 1 goes directly to the receiver and covers a distance L 1 and wave w 2 is reflected from water and covers a distance L 2 = L 2 p + L 2 q , and the wave w 2 suffers change of phase of λ 2 . To get constructive interference at the receiver, the difference L 2 - L 1 must be an odd multiple of a λ 2 . Consider the figure given below: D = ( D p + D q ) a In the figure, T a n d R represent transmitter and receiver. D t a n θ = x ( D p + D q ) t a n θ = x t a n θ = x ( D p + D q ) Using formula (i), we get sin ⁡ θ = a + x D 2 + a + x 2 Using the above equation, we will have L 2 p = a s i n θ = a D 2 + a + x 2 a + x And, L 2 q =

Two resistors of resistances R1 and R2, with R2>R1, are connected to a voltage source with voltage V0. When the resistors are connected in series, the current is Is. When the resistors are connected in parallel, the current Ip from the source is equal to 10Is. Let r be the ratio R1/R2. Find r. I know you have to find the equations for V for both situations and relate them, I'm just struggling to do so. Please explain all steps, thank you.

Bheem and Ram, jump off either side of a bridge while holding opposite ends of a rope and swing back and forth under the bridge to save a child while avoiding a fire. Looking at the swing of just Bheem, we can approximate him as a simple pendulum with a period of motion of 5.59 s. How long is the pendulum ? When Bheem swings, he goes a full distance, from side to side, of 10.2 m. What is his maximum velocity? What is his maximum acceleration?
