The Electric Fields Arriving at a Point P from Three

question 42

Multiple Choice

The electric fields arriving at a point P from three coherent sources are described by E₁ = E₀ sin ωt, E₂ = E₀ sin (ωt + π/4) and E₃ = E₀ sin (ωt + π/2) . Assume the resultant field is represented by Ep = ER sin (ωt + α) . The amplitude of the resultant wave at P is

• A)E₀.
• B)1.5E₀.
• C)1.7E₀.
• D)2.4E₀.
• E)2.9E₀.

Automatic Activation

According to Fazio, attitudes that have a strong evaluative link to situational cues are more likely to automatically come to mind from memory.

Moderator Variable

A variable that qualifies an otherwise simple hypothesis with a view to improving its predictive power (e.g., A causes B, but only when C (the moderator) is present).

Improve Prediction

Enhancing the accuracy or effectiveness of forecasting future events or outcomes based on current data or trends.

Simple Hypothesis

A hypothesis stating a direct relationship between two variables, with one variable affecting the other in a straightforward manner.
