The wavelength
of the wave is 160 m, and this is the distance between two consecutive crests. The boat is located at a crest of the wave, this means that the first trough is located 80 meters from the boat (because the distance between a crest and a trough is half the wavelength).
The speed of the wave is
so the time the boat takes to reach the first trough is
<span>Interference can only be explained if light is a wave. Youngs Double Slit experiment proved this, proving the wave nature of light.</span>
Hey,
Storage of energy is known as potential energy. If you take a spring for example, and you stretch it then you hold it, it has the energy you put into it but it is potential since it's not moving. Of course once you let go of it its potential energy turns into kinetic energy.
There are other examples as well, such as a battery. I decided to use the spring example because it is simpler.
I hope it helped.
I wrote all that^.
Explanation:
A small piece of energy is called as Electron. It cannot be broken down further into smaller pieces. Photon is a basic unit of light. Photons always travel. They are in a continuous motion. So when electron needs energy, They absorb light. The light is absorbed or emitted in the form of photons. Each photon contains energy which is absorbed by the electron to gain its energy. After absorbing the photon, electron moves towards a higher energy level. So when an electron absorbs a photon, energy is gained by the electron.
