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:
A. Same as the individual amplitude
B. Twice the individual amplitude
C. Zero
D. Four times the individual amplitude

Correct Answer: Option B


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.

A photon of energy 3.3 eV has frequency approximately (h=4.14×10⁻¹⁵ eV s)
A. 5×10¹⁴ Hz
B. 8×10¹⁴ Hz
C. 1.25×10¹⁵ Hz
D. 3×10⁸ Hz

Correct Answer: Option B


Explanation:
f = E/h = 3.3 / 4.14×10⁻¹⁵ ≈ 8×10¹⁴ Hz.
