without a medium, there is nothing to compress, hence, no wave. A fast- medium like a gas (air) is easy to compress and allows waves to move through it easily. a slow medium, like a liquid, is still pretty fast, but not as fast as air.
In an alpha decay, an atom emits an alpha particle. An alpha particle consists of 2 protons and 2 neutrons: this means that during this kind of decay, the original atom loses 2 protons and 2 neutrons from its nucleus.
This also means that the atomic number Z of the element (the atomic number is the number of protons in the nucleus) decreases by 2 units in the process, while the mass number A (the mass number is the sum of the number of protons and neutrons) decreases by 4 units.
Complete question:
Two 10-cm-diameter charged rings face each other, 21.0 cm apart. Both rings are charged to +40.0 nC. What is the electric field strength at the midpoint between the two rings ?
Answer:
The electric field strength at the mid-point between the two rings is zero.
Explanation:
Given;
diameter of each ring, d = 10 cm = 0.1 m
distance between the rings, r = 21.0 cm = 0.21 m
charge of each ring, q = 40 nC = 40 x 10⁻⁹ C
let the midpoint between the two rings = x
The electric field strength at the midpoint between the two rings is given as;
Therefore, the electric field strength at the mid-point between the two rings is zero.
Anything times zero is zero
Explanation:
A wavefront is the long edge that moves, for example, the crest or the trough. Each point on the wavefront emits a semicircular wave that moves at the propagation speed v. These are drawn at a time t later, so that they have moved a distance s = vt.
