Why does sound travel more quickly through a solid than through a liquid

Physics
2 answers:
PolarNik [594]1 year ago
6 0

Explanation:

Sound travels more quickly through solids than through liquids and gases because the molecules of a solid are closer together and, therefore, can transmit the vibrations faster. Sound travels most slowly through gases because the molecules of a gas are farthest apart.

Because a solid is compact so sound can go through but a liquid is not solid and it traps the sound inside

This particle is found in the nucleus and adds mass to the nucleus, but changing its number does not change what the element is.
Sliva [168]
Adding neutron to the nucleus creates new isotopes of that element. Mass of the nucleus will increase if you add neutron to it but element will remain the same. If you add proton to the nucleus, mass of the nucleus will change but also element will also change. That is, atom of the element will change.

Consider an electron in an infinite well of width 0.7 nm . What is the wavelength of a photon emitted when the electron in the i
ollegr [7]

Answer:

 λ  = 538.0 nm

Explanation:

The solution of the Schrödinger equation for the inner part of the well gives energy

      E_{n} = (h² / 8mL²) n²

Where n is an integer and L is the length of the well

They ask for the transition from the first excited state n = 2 to the base state n = 1

       E₂ - E₁ = = (h² / 8mL²) (n₂² - n₁²)

Let's calculate

       E₂-E₁ = (6.63 10⁻³⁴)² / (8 9.1 10⁻³¹ (0.7 10⁻⁹)²) (2² -1²)

       E₂ –E₁ = 3.6968 10⁻¹⁹ J

Let's use the Planck equation

      E = h f

      c = λ f

      E = h c / λ

      E = E₂ ₂- E₁

      h c / λ  = 3.6968 10⁻¹⁹

      λ  = h c / (E₂-E₁)

      λ  = 6.63 10⁻³⁴ 3 10⁸ / 3.6968 10⁻¹⁹

      λ  = 5.380 10⁻⁷ m

Let's reduce

      λ  = 5.380 10⁻⁷ m (10 9 nm / 1 m)

      λ  = 538.0 nm

An astronaut who is repairing the outside of her spaceship accidentally pushes away a 99.1 cm long steel rod, which flies off at
iren [92.7K]

Answer:

83.847519 mV

Explanation:

B = Magnetic field strength = 7.11 mT

L = Length of steel rod = 99.1 cm

v = Velocity of steel rod = 11.9 m/s

The induced electro motive force is given by

E=BLV\\\Rightarrow E=7.11\times 10^{-3}\times 0.991\times 11.9\\\Rightarrow E=0.083847519\ V=83.847519\ mV

The magnitude of the EMF induced between the ends of the rod is 83.847519 mV
