Two polarized same mono-frequency light waves(or lasers) with a TRILLION volts of energy are exactly 90 degrees out of phase You mean 180 degrees, I think. and along the same trajectory thus due to superposition will they be invisible? Will they be harmless? Will we be able to notice the difference between them and an empty space? Nature saves us from this paradox: Since the two sources can't really be exactly on top of each other but must be some distance apart, there will always be places where they add constructively (in phase) as well. Ok but as I showed above even a dead battery is an energy conservation equation. Everything is an energy conservation situation. Therefore because of what you said, then lets "exagerate a little" and say the two waves (coming from the same or as well **direct opposite** dirfection) are both get caught in the EXACT same GRAVITY pull...so strong they become a perfect orbit around the gravity pull....say always "R" distance. If two traveling waves are coming from opposite directions they can't cancel out. Do some googling on "destructive interference" and "energy conservation". Your question has been asked millions of times. http://www.physlink.com/Education/AskExperts/ae155.cfm The short answer is that energy is always conserved. If you cook up a situation where it isn't, you've left something out. - Randy |

Another Poe classic goofball! : : Do some googling on "destructive interference" and "energy : conservation". Your question has been asked millions of : times. : http://www.physlink.com/Education/AskExperts/ae155.cfm But Randy, you incoherent raving lunatic, that page says that two travelling waves coming from opposite directions DO cancel out! Quote: Now, turn the second one on, too. Result? No wave on the circuit. Unquote. : : The short answer is that energy is always conserved. If : you cook up a situation where it isn't, you've left something : out. Like the compressed spring in the pole and barn situation? |
