Another name for destructive interference is catastrophic interference. is this true or false???... Im 99% that its false The antinodes of a standing wave appear to move. true or false???.. not sure about this one

OpenStudy (anonymous):

catastrophic is the synonym of destructive. But we don't call destructive interference as catastrophic interference. The antinode of a standing wave never appear to move.

OpenStudy (experimentx):

have heard of catastrophe but never of catastrophic interference.

OpenStudy (ujjwal):

what's there in a name though..?? but i haven't heard it before

OpenStudy (fretje):

'catastrophic interference' is a term used in neurology, to coin 'forgetting'. There might be correlation between the two phenomena.

OpenStudy (fretje):

a standing wave stands because two running waves ( identical in length and speed ) run in opposite direction, and cancel each other out or add up depending on the position of observer. They form nodes and anti-nodes, where the nodes are formed by destructive interference.

OpenStudy (fretje):

and yes the antinodes have moving matter that is waving (i can not answer about standing waves in light, cause there is nothing that is waving in the vacuum, and i do not quite understand everything yet), so the last question i would answer : true

ty

OpenStudy (fretje):

@nickyboyy126 what is ty?

OpenStudy (ujjwal):

@fretje ty= thank you..

REF: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Varied_practice Catastrophic interference occurs when a network is trained to criteria on one set of mappings, and then switched to a new set, at which point it loses access to the initial mappings. In a sense, rather than forming a set of connections that would preserve the knowledge it acquired in the first task, the network optimizes it’s performance completely to the new task. REF: http://courses.ece.ubc.ca/592/PDFfiles/Catastrophic_Learning_c.pdf Catastrophic interference refers to the phenomenon that occurs when later training disrupts results of previous training and is characterized by the inability to incrementally learn sets of training patterns. CI is readily observed in studies of backpropagation. This phenomenon is also referred to as sequential learning and sometimes life long learning.

@ramkrishna The antinode of a standing wave never appear to move -> is not an antinode the place where a standing wave has the highest amplitude, so for ex. in water standing wave the place where the water molecules move the most up and down?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

is it true are false

OpenStudy (fretje):

false, convention says that standing waves do appear not to move, and a wave consists of nodes and antinodes, conclusion: as well the nodes as the antinodes dont' move.Basta

OpenStudy (fretje):

bunch of mosquitosexers.
