for the sound at m to be zero that means destructive interference.so for destructive interference the path difference must be be a odd number of multiple wavelength
and for the second conditon if the amplitudes are same so there will be destructive interference as the two waves cancel out each other
so for the first 1 it would be the path difference must be be a odd number of multiple wavelength and 2 nd one amplitude amplitude of both the waves are same at m.
b)v=f lambda.so u put these values and u get 2 value of l(convert the unit in cm).that means the minima would be within the range.now find the path differnce.find the length of s2m by pythagoras theorem which is 128 cm.so the path difference for s2m-s1m is 28 cm.now apply the formula of path difference for destructive interference
28=(n+.5)l put the value of n to o,1,2,3,4.now u will get 2 values which are within the range.so 2 minima would be detected
thannsk bro ... i understood everything ... but my question is ... at the begining how did u now its (destructive interfernce ) and not constructive ???
and can u plz post the( formula _) for path difference of constructive and destrcutive interfernce separetly ?

i think u didnt read the question properly.they told to determine the number of minima which is destructive intereference and maxima is constructive interference
Path difference of constructive interference =nlambda
Path difference of destructive intereference =(n+.5)lambda
hope u are clear

for no. 14 anticlockwise moment equals to clockwise moment
so clockwise moment is wa +fh
anticlockwise moment is w*2a
so ans is wa+fh=2wa
for potential energy, vertical height is always taken, so distance would be s.
The field is towards the right side, so left is positive and the right negative, which means that the potential energy will decrease. energy = workdone, therefore, w.d. = F x s

Any useful notes for the applications part ... especially the last chapter (communications one) ?

JazakAllah

as we know that frequency of fundamental is f
frequency of second harmonic is 3f
and that of third harmonic is 5f
u have to memorize it
page no 237 chemistry coursebook cie
can u tell me why is this not an open pipe, so we can use the other
formula
