We can block light by placing obstacles in its path, but it’s much more difficult to block sound. Why?

Answer:

Because light propagate in a straight path, while sound moves in all directions.

Explanation:

The rectilinear propagation of light proves that light travels on a straight path. With this, any opaque obstacle in its path would absorb the major fraction and reflect little fraction of the light. Light is an electromagnetic wave and transverse in nature.

Sound travels in all directions and it requires material medium (majorly air)  for its propagation. Thus, it is not easy to obstruct the propagation of sound. It is a mechanical wave and longitudinal in nature.

Sound spreads through some kind of medium. Most of the time the medium is usually air. Sound can go through walls, like when you are playing really loud music and the neighbors tell you its to loud, you can't block it because it can travel through objects. Light does not need a medium to travel with. if you put a light in a room with no windows and no cracks, and you seal off the door the light can't escape that room, but if you did the same thing with sound it would travel trough the walls.

calculate the efficiency of a light bulb that had an input of 400 j transfers 100j as a light and 300j as heat.​
beks73 [17]
Efficiency = useful energy out / total energy in x 100
= 100/400 x 100
=0.25 x 100
= 25%

If a body p with a positive charge is placed in contact with a body q (initially uncharged), what will be the nature of the char
uysha [10]

If a body p with a positive charge is placed in contact with a body q (initially uncharged), then the nature of charge gained by q must be positive, because rubbing an uncharged body with a charged body or placed in contact with a positive charged body, helps gain a charge to the uncharged body.

There are a variety of methods to charge an object. One method is known as induction. In the induction process, a charged object is brought near but not touched to a neutral conducting object.

Let's know, how a element gain positive charge?

A positive charge occurs when the number of protons exceeds the number of electrons. A positive charge may be created by adding protons to an atom or object with a neutral charge. A positive charge also can be created by removing electrons from a neutrally charged object.
