Answer from: reycaden

The amplitude of the resultant wave will be twice the amplitude of each wave

Explanation:

- Constructive interference occurs when two waves meet in phase ( $\theta=0^{\circ}$ , which means that the crest of a wave meets the crest of the other wave: in this case, the amplitude of the resultant wave is the sum of the amplitudes of the single waves

- Destructive interference occurs when the two waves meet in anti-phase ( $\theta=180^{\circ}$ , which means that the crest of a wave meets the trough of the other wave: in this case, the amplitude of the resultant wave is the difference between the amplitudes of the single wave

In this problem, we have constructive interference between the two waves: this means that the resultant amplitude is the sum of the two waves. Since the two waves have equal amplitude (we can call it A), the resultant amplitude will be

R= A+A=2 A

so, twice the amplitude of the single wave.

Answer from: Quest

answer: the correct answer is 1.

explanation: there are various process in which a radioactive nuclei decays:

1) alpha decay: in this process, a heavier nuclei decays into lighter nuclei by releasing alpha particle. the mass number is reduced by 4 units.

$_a^z\textrm{x}\rightarrow _{a-2}^{z-4}+_2^4\alpha$

2) electron capture: in this decay process, a parent nuclei absorbs an electron and gets converted into a neutron. simply, a proton and an electron combines together to form a neutron. mass number does not change in this process.

$_a^z\textrm{x}+_{-1}^0\textrm{e}\rightarrow _{z-1}^a\textrm{y}$

3) gamma ray emission: it is a decay process in which an unstable nuclei gives excess energy by a spontaneous electromagnetic process. this decay releases $\gamma -radiations$ . this process does not change the mass number.

$_a^z\textrm{x}^*\rightarrow _a^z\textrm{x}+_0^0\gamma$

4) positron emission: it is a type of decay process, in which a proton gets converted to neutron and an electron neutrino. this is also known as $\beta ^+$ -decay. in this the mass number remains same.

$_a^z\textrm{x}\rightarrow _{z-1}^a\textrm{y}+_{+1}^0e$

from the above information, we see that only alpha-decay is producing a change in the mass number of the nucleus.
