Impact loading refers to a sudden and intense force or load applied to a structure or material over a short period of time. This type of loading can lead to rapid deformation or failure of the material due to the high stress concentrations induced by the impact. Examples of impact loading include a hammer striking a nail or a vehicle crashing into a barrier.
If the separation between two slits is increased, the distance between interference fringes will also increase. This is because the distance between fringes is inversely proportional to the slit separation – as the slit separation increases, the angle between the interfering beams becomes smaller, leading to a larger fringe separation.
The gravitational force between the two masses will increase by a factor of 9 (3 squared) since force is inversely proportional to the square of the separation distance. This means it will be 9 times stronger when the separation distance is decreased by two-thirds.
The separation distance is the independent variable in this scenario. By changing the separation distance between two objects, you can observe its effect on the force of attraction between them.
The separation between two successive compressions of a transverse wave is called the wavelength. It represents the distance between corresponding points on two consecutive waves, such as between two peaks or two troughs. In general, the larger the wavelength, the lower the frequency of the wave.
