A conducting material conducts or allows electricity to flow, while an insulator does not allow electricity to flow. For example think of a water pipe, if the pipe has a hole water can flow, on the other hand if it is just a solid rod, no water can flow through. I hope this helps.

Write down the effect of humidity and temperature on the speed of sound.​
finlep [7]

Answer:

The speed of sound is affected by temperature and humidity. Because it is less dense, sound passes through hot air faster than it passes through cold air. ... The attenuation of sound in air is affected by the relative humidity. Dry air absorbs far more acoustical energy than does moist air.

How much energy is needed to change 100 g of 0o C ice to 0o C water? The latent heat of fusion for water L=335,000 J/kg. Hint: T
pychu [463]

Answer:

33.5 kJ

Explanation:

here there is no difference is made in the temperature. Only thing happens here is the conversion of the ice in to water of 0 degree. The heat energy taken from the outside is spent for this conversion.

we have ice 100g =0.1 kg

Appplying Q=mL

                  Q= 0.1 kg * 335 000 J kg^{-1}

                   Q = 33 500 J

                   Q = 33.5 kJ

Ultraviolet radiation is dangerous because it has a high enough energy to damage skin cells. What is the BEST explanation of the
MrRissso [65]

The answer is shorter the wavelength, higher the frequency and higher the energy.

<u>Explanation:</u>

The sun radiates UV energy in a wide range of wavelength, which are invisible to human eyes. The shorter the wavelength, the more energetic the radiation, and the greater the potential for harm.

The relationship between wavelength and wave energy is shorter the wavelength, higher the frequency and higher the energy.

It has a frequency ranges from 8 × 10^14 to 3 × 10^16 cycles per second, or hertz (Hz), and wavelengths id about 380 nanometers to about 10 nm.
