If a soundproof door is almost shut but still leaves a small opening, what wave phenomenon is responsible for someone being able

to hear sound from the room while standing by the wall to the side of the opening?

The phenomenon which is responsible for this effect is called diffraction.

Diffraction is the ability of a wave to propagate when it meets an obstacle or a slit. When the wave encounters the obstacle or the slit, it 'bends' around it and it continues propagate beyond it. A classical example of this phenomenon is when a sound wave propagates through a wall where there is a small aperture (as in the example of this problem)

Answer:

diffraction

Explanation:

It is due to the diffraction.

Diffraction is the phenomenon in which the waves (light or sound) bends their path after striking to the sharp edged object or the sharp orifice.

Diffraction is possible if the wavelength of the waves has the order of width of the orifice.

On average, how many stars would we have to search before we would expect to hear a signal? assume there are 500 billion stars i
Keith_Richards [23]

We would have to search at least 5,000,000,000 (5 billion) stars before we would expect to hear a signal.

To find out the number of stars that we will need to search to find a signal, we need to use the following formula:

  • total of stars/civilizations
  • 500,000,000,000 (500 billion) stars / 100 civilization = 5,000,000,000 (5 billion)

This shows it is expected to find a civilization every 5 billion stars, and therefore it is necessary to search at least 5 billion stars before hearing a signal from any civilization.

Note: This question is incomplete; here is the complete question.

On average, how many stars would we have to search before we would expect to hear a signal? Assume there are 500 billion stars in the galaxy.

Assuming 100 civilizations existed.

the electric current in a wire is 1.5 A. How many electrons flow past a given point in a time of 2 s?​
34kurt

Answer:

The quantity of electrons that flows past a given point is 3.0 C.

Explanation:

An electric current (I) is the ratio of the quantity of charges (Q) that flows through a point to the time taken (t).

i.e            I = \frac{Q}{t}

It is measured in Ampere's by the use of an ammeter in the laboratory. The quantity of charge that flow through a given point is measured in Coulombs, while time is measured in seconds.

Given that;     I = 1.5A and t = 2s, find Q.

                          Q = It

                             = 1.5 × 2

                             = 3.0 C

The quantity of electrons that flows past a given point is 3.0 C.

How can you tell that toast is not warmed up by conduction?
solmaris [256]

Answer:

Toasting in a toaster is usually considered  by (infra red) radiation. But the hot coils touch the toast so an element of heating by conduction occurs as well.
