Two waves of identical frequency and amplitude superimpose in the same medium. If they meet perfectly in phase (crest meets crest), the resulting amplitude is:
Correct Answer: Option D
Explanation:
This is an example of constructive interference. According to the principle of superposition, the resultant displacement is the algebraic sum of individual displacements. If the waves are perfectly in phase, their amplitudes add directly (A + A = 2A). Note that while amplitude doubles, the intensity (which is proportional to amplitude squared) becomes four times greater.

The time period of revolution of a geostationary satellite is:
Correct Answer: Option C
Explanation:
Geostationary satellites orbit in Earth's equatorial plane with period matching Earth's rotation period (24 hours), so they appear stationary relative to ground. Orbital radius is about 42,000 km from Earth's center. Memory tip: 'Geostationary: T=24 h, equatorial orbit, fixed position; used for communication/weather satellites'. This standard result is frequently tested in competitive exams. Always recall that geostationary is a special case of geosynchronous (same period) with zero inclination; competitive exams often compare low orbit (84 min) vs geostationary (24 h) periods.
