There are two general types of collisions, inelastic and elastic.
Inelastic collisions occur when two objects collide but neither of them bounce away from each other.
Collisions in which the objects do not touch each other are elastic. (Ex: Rutherford Scattering)
Answer:
A-the energy of the wave decreases gradually
Explanation:
when a wave is acted upon by an external damping force the energy of the wave decreases gradually.
The energy degrades into the form of heat which is considered to be of less value and use. The reason is because it disperses and spreads more widely.
So therefore it end up as heat with a little sound but that is close to none because that too disperses into heat i.e. decreased form of energy.
<span>This is because Helium
has two valence electrons compared to Hydrogen which has only one. Helium has
more energy levels for an electron to jump thus more spectral lines to occur.
The spectral lines relating to each change of energy level would be more
grouped together and hence the greater chance of them falling in the visible
range.</span>
