Answer:

Sound travels fastest in solids

Explanation:

Sound is a type of mechanical waves. Mechanical waves are produced by the oscillations of the particles in the medium the wave is travelling through.

The speed of a mechanical wave depends on the density of the medium: the higher the density, the higher the speed. This is because in a medium with higher density, atoms/molecules are closer together, so they collide more frequently and therefore the wave can be transmitted faster and more efficiently.

Since solids have higher density than liquids and gases, this also means that mechanical waves (so, sound as well) travel faster in solids than liquids or gases.

Answer:

$E=\dfrac{\lambda }{2\pi \varepsilon _or}$

Explanation:

Given that

For straight wire

Charge density= λ

For hollow metal cylinder

Charge density=2 λ

We know that electric filed for wire given as

$E_w=\dfrac{\lambda_{wire} }{2\pi \varepsilon _or}$

$E_w=\dfrac{\lambda }{2\pi \varepsilon _or}$

Now the electric filed due to hollow metal cylinder

$E_c=\dfrac{\lambda_{cylinder} }{2\pi \varepsilon _or}$

$E_c=\dfrac{2\lambda }{2\pi \varepsilon _or}$

Now by considering the Gaussian surface r<R then only electric fild due to wire will present.So

At r<R

$E=\dfrac{\lambda }{2\pi \varepsilon _or}$

A light ray moving at a 54.3 deg

MrMuchimi

Answer:

$45.25^{\circ}$

Explanation:

Applying Snell's law

$n_1sin\theta_1 = n2*sin\theta_2\\1.33*sin(54.3) = 1.52*sin\theta_2\\sin\theta_2 = 1.33*0.81208353/1.52 = 0.71057\\\theta_2=sin^{-1} (0.71057)\\\theta_2 = 45.25^{\circ}$
