12. The waves from a radio station can reach a home receiver by two paths. One is a straight- line path from transmitter to home, a distance of 30.0 km. The second is by reflection from the ionosphere (a layer of ionized air molecules high in the atmosphere). Assume this reflection takes place at a point midway between receiver and transmitter, the wavelength broadcast by the radio station is 350 m, and no phase change occurs on reflection. Find the minimum height of the ionospheric layer that could produce destructive interference between the direct and reflected beams.

    Radio waves of wavelength 174 m from a galaxy reach a radio telescope by two separate paths as shown in the figure below. One is a direct path to the receiver, which is situated on the edge of a tall cliff by the ocean, and the second is by reflection off the water. As the galaxy rises in the east over the water, the first minimum of destructive interference occurs when the galaxy is θ = 24.5° above the horizon....

    when television and radio waves are broadcast across the landscape, they can reflect off of features like mountains, or even airplanes, and interfere. suppose 75 MHz television signal from a distant source are being detected at a receiver. some of the signal is reflected from an airplane that is 122 m directly above the receiver. what kind of interference occurs? assume a lambda/2 phase change occurs upon reflection.

    Suppose two coherent waves start from the same point and travel different paths before coming back together and interfering with each other. a. What is the relationship between the path difference Δ between the two waves and their wavelength if constructive interference occurs at the point of interference? b. What is the relationship between the path difference Δ between the two waves and their wavelength if constructive interference occurs at the point of interference?

    2.1.1. Two coherent sources, A and B, of radio waves are 40.0 cm apart. Each source emits waves with wavelength 50.0 cm. Consider points along the line between the two sources. At what distances from A, if any, is the interference (a) constructive, (b) destructive? 2.1.2. A coherent source of monochromatic light of unknown wave- length shines on double slits separated by 0.40 mm. Bright spots separated by 0.80 cm appear on a screen 5.0 m away. What is the...

EXPERIMENT 10 THIN FILM INTERFERENCE Light from a monochromatic source is shined downward on two glass plates that are separated at one end by a hair. Light that is reflected from the top and bottom surfaces of the wedge-shaped thin film of air undergoes interference, and a series of dark and light lines are seen. By counting the number of dark or light lines over a known...
