Answer: The correct answer is "amplitude".

Explanation:

The expression of the energy in terms of frequency is as follows;

E=hf

Here, h is Planck's constant, E is the energy and f is the frequency of the wave.

Here, the energy is directly proportional to the frequency of the wave. The energy of the wave is inversely proportional to the wavelength of the wave.

Amplitude is the maximum displacement of the particle from its equilibrium position in the vertical direction.

The amount of energy carried by a wave is directly proportional to the square of the amplitude. More the energy of the wave, more will be amplitude of the wave. Lesser the energy of the wave, lesser will be the amplitude of the wave.

Therefore, the correct option is (B).

Will you still get tan with sunscreen on
WARRIOR [948]
No, wearing sunscreen won't let you tan. The whole purpose of sunscreen is to protect your skin from sun rays. You can start to become tan if you dont have much sunscreen on - its happened to me.

A reservoir located in the mountain 250 m above sea level flows through a pipe to a hydroelectric plant in a town at sea level.
Pavlova-9 [17]

Answer:

     v₂ = 70 m / s

Explanation:

For this exercise let's use Bernoulli's equation

where subscript 1 is for the top of the mountain and subscript 2 is for Tuesday's level

 

          P₁ + ½ ρ v₁² + ρ g y₁ = P₂ +1/2 ρ v₂² + ρ g y₂

indicate that the pressure in the two points is the same, y₁ = 250 m, y₂ = 0 m, the water in the upper part, because it is a reservoir, is very large for which the velocity is very small, we will approximate it to 0 (v₁ = 0), we substitute

         ρ g y₁ = ½ ρ v₂²

         v₂ = \sqrt {2g \ y_1}

let's calculate

         v₂ = √( 2 9.8 250)

         v₂ = 70 m / s
