Answer:

air does not have a modulus of rigidity.

Explanation:

Since air is completely elastic medium, that is, it does not have a modulus of rigidity, therefore sound waves in air are longitudinal.

Why can even a small injury to the cornea have a effect on vision

prohojiy [21]

Answer:

It also plays a key role in vision. As light enters your eye, it gets refracted, or bent, by the cornea's curved edge. This helps determine how well your eye can focus on objects close-up and far away. If your cornea is damaged by disease, infection, or an injury, the resulting scars can affect your vision.

Ten identical steel wires have equal lengths L and equal "spring constants" k. The Young's modulus of each wire is Y. The wires

svlad2 [7]

Answer:

option (B)

Explanation:

Young's modulus is defined as the ratio of longitudinal stress to the longitudinal strain.

Its unit is N/m².

The formula for the Young's modulus is given by

$Y=\frac{F \times L}{A\times \delta L}$

where, F is the force applied on a rod, L is the initial length of the rod, ΔL is the change in length of the rod as the force is applied, A is the area of crossection of the rod.

It is the property of material of solid. So, when the 10 wires are co joined together to form a new wire of length 10 L, the material remains same so the young' modulus remains same.

Why does a shirt appear white outside on a sunny day?

Maru [420]

The shirt absorbs the sunlight, so it appears white. All the light is reflected, so the shirt appears white. The sunlight refracts when it hits the shirt, so the shirt appears white.
