A geological fold<span> occurs when one or a stack of originally flat and planar surfaces, such as sedimentary strata, are bent or curved as a result of permanent deformation.

So A fold is a Bend? in a rock. Maybe.

</span>A fault<span> is a planar fracture or discontinuity in a volume of </span>rock<span>, across which there has been significant displacement as a result of </span>rock<span>-mass movement.</span>

Answer:

A bold is a bent in a rock.

A fault is a crack in a rock

Explanation:

A bold is a bent in a rock.

In earth's structure, when a flat plate of sedimentary rocks are pressed due to the plates movement into one another, the plate structure takes the shape of a bent structure or curved structure. The rocks buckle into folds. Fold are commonly seen in rock structure that is layered.

A fault is a crack in a rock.

Faults in a rock structure is formed due to stress. Faults are associated with the boundaries of the earth's tectonic plate. Fault is a zone of fracture between two blocks of mountain rocks and it causes relative motion in two sets of rock blocks.

A modern compact fluorescent lamp contains 1.4 mg of mercury (Hg). If each mercury atom in the lamp were to emit a single photon

Reika [66]

Answer:

A. 1.64 J

Explanation:

First of all, we need to find how many moles correspond to 1.4 mg of mercury. We have:

$n=\frac{m}{M_m}$

where

n is the number of moles

m = 1.4 mg = 0.0014 g is the mass of mercury

Mm = 200.6 g/mol is the molar mass of mercury

Substituting, we find

$n=\frac{0.0014 g}{200.6 g/mol}=7.0\cdot 10^{-6} mol$

Now we have to find the number of atoms contained in this sample of mercury, which is given by:

$N=n N_A$

where

n is the number of moles

$N_A=6.022\cdot 10^{23} mol^{-1}$ is the Avogadro number

Substituting,

$N=(7.0\cdot 10^{-6} mol)(6.022\cdot 10^{23} mol^{-1})=4.22\cdot 10^{18}$ atoms

The energy emitted by each atom (the energy of one photon) is

$E_1 = \frac{hc}{\lambda}$

where

h is the Planck constant

c is the speed of light

$\lambda=508 nm=5.08\cdot 10^{-7}nm$ is the wavelength

Substituting,

$E_1 = \frac{(6.63\cdot 10^{-34} Js)(3\cdot 10^8 m/s)}{5.08\cdot 10^{-7} m}=3.92\cdot 10^{-19} J$

And so, the total energy emitted by the sample is

$E=nE_1 = (4.22\cdot 10^{18} )(3.92\cdot 10^{-19}J)=1.64 J$

Two speakers, one directly behind the other, are each generating a 240-Hz sound wave. What is the smallest separation distance b

AveGali [126]

Answer:

The smallest separation distance between the speakers is 0.71 m.

Explanation:

Given that,

Two speakers, one directly behind the other, are each generating a 240-Hz sound wave, f = 240 Hz

Let the speed of sound is 343 m/s in air. The speed of sound is given by the formula as :

$v=f\lambda\\\\\lambda=\dfrac{v}{f}\\\\\lambda=\dfrac{343\ m/s}{240\ Hz}\\\\\lambda=1.42\ m$

To produce destructive interference at a listener standing in front of them,

$d=\dfrac{\lambda}{2}\\\\d=\dfrac{1.42}{2}\\\\d=0.71\ m$

So, the smallest separation distance between the speakers is 0.71 m. Hence, this is the required solution.
