Answer:

Marie Curie & Pierre Curie

Explanation:

Marie Curie along with her husband Pierre Curie was studying the radioactivity of pitchblende, (also called uranite), the uranium ore

They found that the radioactivity of the pitchblende was radioactive even after removing Uranium and Thorium from it.

In July 1898 they isolated polonium from pitchblende and in December 1898 they isolated radium from pitchblende.

They named polonium after Poland, the homeland of Marie Curie.

Answer:

The atomic bomb, is as defined by britannica.com “a deadly weapon caused by the sudden release of energy after the splitting, or fission, of the nuclei of heavy elements like uranium.” In 1945, the United States (US) dropped two atomic bombs, one in Hiroshima and the other in Nagasaki ending WWII.

A tuning fork generates sound waves with a frequency of 240 Hz. The waves travel in opposite directions along a hallway, are ref

Bingel [31]

Answer:

The phase difference between the reflected waves when they meet at the tuning fork is 159.29 rad.

Explanation:

Given that,

Frequency of sound wave = 240 Hz

Distance = 46.0 m

Distance of fork = 14 .0 m

We need to calculate the path difference

Using formula of path difference

$\Delta x=2(L_{2}-L_{1})$

Put the value into the formula

$\Delta x =2((46.0-14.0)-14.0)$

$\Delta x=36\ m$

We need to calculate the wavelength

Using formula of wavelength

$\lambda=\dfrac{v}{f}$

Put the value into the formula

$\lambda=\dfrac{343}{240}$

$\lambda=1.42\ m$

We need to calculate the phase difference

Using formula of the phase difference

$\phi=\dfrac{2\pi}{\lambda}\times \delta x$

Put the value into the formula

$\phi=\dfrac{2\pi}{1.42}\times36$

$\phi=159.29\ rad$

$\phi\approx 68.2^{\circ}$

Hence, The phase difference between the reflected waves when they meet at the tuning fork is 159.29 rad.

flipper (the dolphin) is out in the open ocean hunting tuna avec. he emits his pulse at 22khz and .42 seconds later he hears it

marusya05 [52]

First we need to find the speed of the dolphin sound wave in the water. We can use the following relationship between frequency and wavelength of a wave:
$v=\lambda f$
where
v is the wave speed
$\lambda$ its wavelength
f its frequency
Using $\lambda = 2 cm = 0.02 m$ and $f=22 kHz = 22000 Hz$ , we get
$v=(0.02 m)(22000 Hz)=440 m/s$

We know that the dolphin sound wave takes t=0.42 s to travel to the tuna and back to the dolphin. If we call L the distance between the tuna and the dolphin, the sound wave covers a distance of S=2 L in a time t=0.42 s, so we can write the basic relationship between space, time and velocity for a uniform motion as:
$v= \frac{S}{t}= \frac{2L}{t}$
and since we know both v and t, we can find the distance L between the dolphin and the tuna:
$L= \frac{vt}{2}= \frac{(440 m/s)(0.42 s)}{2}=92.4 m$
