shouldn't it be A? if we take this as a straight line answer comes 0.1 but since strain energy would will less than this ans should be A ?

Can anyone please explain how to draw two waves with a phase difference?
for example, "draw two waves of identical frequency,wavelength and amplitude and with a phase difference of 5π/8"

any supporting materials or links would also be greatly appreciated
Thanks in Advance!

why are we using the volune calculated in ii1 for finding separation of atoms and not the volume found in i?

When we calculate Escape Speed, we use the formula square root[2GM/R]. Here why do we assume the radius,r, as the radius of Earth,R? Escape speed is the speed with which a body moves from gravitational field to infinity. What if its initial position in the gravitational field from where it escaped to infinity was not on the surface of Earth? Why do we use R? Shouldnt we use r as the distance of its initial position from centre of the Earth?

are you referring to a specific question. if yes, tell me which question it is
If a body is present in the Earth's gravitational field, but not on the surface of Earth, then it escapes to infinity. The formula of its escape speed is square root(2GM/r). Here, why r is taken as the radius of Earth?

No its not a specific question. I am just confused why we always take r as the radius of Earth in the formula of Escape speed?
