  1. A physicist is analyzing quantum interference patterns using complex wave functions. The wave function from the first slit is represented by 6∠45° and the wave function from the second slit is 3∠-30°. To determine the combined wave amplitude at a specific point on the detection screen, she needs to multiply these complex numbers in polar form. What is the product in polar form (r∠θ) with the angle in degrees?
  2. A complex number is represented on the complex plane with a magnitude of 8 units and an angle of 150° from the positive real axis. If this number is multiplied by another complex number with magnitude 2 and angle 60°, what is the resulting complex number in polar form (r, θ)?
  3. A physicist is analyzing quantum interference patterns using complex wave functions. The wave function from the first source is represented as 6∠45° and the wave function from the second source is 2∠15°. To determine the combined wave amplitude at a specific point, she needs to multiply these complex numbers in polar form. What is the product in polar form?
