Explanation:
KE ∝ p². Double KE ⇒ p_new = √2 p_old ⇒ increase = (√2 - 1)×100% ≈ 41.4%. Memory tip: 'KE ∝ p²; %Δp ≈ ½ %ΔKE for small changes, but use exact for large'. Energy-momentum relation frequently tested in competitive exams.
Explanation:
The relationship between phase difference (phi) and path difference (delta x) is given by the formula phi = (2pi / lambda) * delta x. Given a path difference of lambda / 2, substitute this into the formula: phi = (2pi / lambda) * (lambda / 2) = pi radians. This indicates strictly destructive interference.
