Circuit breaker is a device that is designed to open an overloaded circuit and prevent overheating. The correct option in regards to the given question is option "a". The main purpose of the circuit breaker is to disconnect the defective switch from the circuit as soon as any problem arises. This helps in preventing any kind of major accident. Overheating can result in a big accident and the circuit breaker is the device that senses the overheating and disconnects the switch before any major incident. It is an automated system that acts as a protective devise.

A man stands at the midpoint between two speakers that are broadcasting an amplified static hiss uniformly in all directions. Th
Illusion [34]

Answer:

Explanation:

The power of each of the speakers is 0.535 W. At a distance d intensity of sound can be found by the following formula

Intensity of sound =  Power / 4π d²

= .535 / 4 x 3.14 x (27.3/2)²

= 2.286 x 10⁻⁴ J m⁻² s⁻¹

Intensity of sound due to other source = 5.715 x 10⁻⁵J m⁻² s⁻¹

Total intensity = 2 x 2.286 x 10⁻⁴J m⁻² s⁻¹

= 4.57 x 10⁻⁴J m⁻² s⁻¹

b ) In this case, man is standing at distances 18.15 m and 9.15 m from the sources .

The total intensity of sound reaching him is as follows

0.535 / (4 π x18.15² ) + 0.535 /  (4 π x9.15² )

= 1.293 x 10⁻⁴ + 5.087 x 10⁻⁴

= 6.38 x 10⁻⁴J m⁻² s⁻¹

Name one situation in which you might notice the reflection of a wave
Lady bird [3.3K]

<u>Answer:</u>

A perfect example of wave reflection is an <u>echo</u>.

<u>Explanation:</u>

A wave reflection takes place when waves cannot pass through a surface and in turn they bounce back. It is not necessary that wave reflections can only happen with sound waves, they can also take place in light waves. Also, the waves which are reflected have the same frequency as the original wave, but their direction is different. When a wave strikes an object in the same angle, they bounce back straight but when they hit an object with different angle, their direction changes.
