Your boss asks you to design a room that can be as soundproof as possible and provides you with three samples of material. The o

nly information on each sample's label is the material's coefficient of absorption. The coefficient of absorption listed on Sample A is 30%, on Sample B is 47%, and on Sample C is 62%. When your boss asks for your choice and the reasoning behind it, what would you tell him?
A. Sample A would be best, because the percentage of the energy in an incident wave that remains in a reflected wave from this material is the smallest.
B. Sample A would be best, because the percentage of the energy in an incident wave that remains in a reflected wave from this material is the largest.
C. Sample C would be best, because the percentage of the energy in an incident wave that remains in a reflected wave from this material is the smallest.
D. Sample C would be best, because the percentage of the energy in an incident wave that remains in a reflected wave from this material is the largest.

The correct answer is Option C) Sample C would be best, because the percentage of the energy in an incident wave that remains in a reflected wave from this material is the smallest.


As the coefficient of absorption would define the energy present in the reflected wave, the material C has the highest percentage of absorption i.e. 62% and would be best suitable to make a sound proof room.

Answer: Option C: Sample C would be best, because the percentage of the energy in an incident wave that remains in a reflected wave from this material is the smallest.

Explanation:

The absorption coefficient of the samples is given. Sample A has 30%, Sample B has 47% and Sample C has 62%. This means that sample C absorbs the most percentage of energy incident on it. The energy in the reflected wave would be least. Hence, it would be best to use for a room to make it soundproof.

8. two +1 C charges are separated by 3000m. What is the magnitude of the electric force between them?
Sidana [21]

Answer:

1000 N

Explanation:

The magnitude of the electrostatic force between two charged object is given by

F=k\frac{q_1 q_2}{r^2}

where

k is the Coulomb constant

q1, q2 is the magnitude of the two charges

r is the distance between the two objects

Moreover, the force is:

- Attractive if the two forces have opposite sign

- Repulsive if the two forces have same sign

In this problem:

q_1=q_2=+1C are the two charges

r = 3000 m is their separation

Therefore, the electric force between the charges is:

F=(9\cdot 10^9)\frac{(1)(1)}{3000^2}=1000 N

Your friend is wearing a red coat. When white light hits the coat, some light is reflected, and some is absorbed.
Vilka [71]

Answer:

Orange , yellow, green and blue

red coat absorbs all colors of visible light except red, so red light

is the only light left to bounce off of the coat toward our eyes.
