Why does reflected light from the sun or moon appear as a column in the body of water as shown? how would the reflected light ap

This column actually appears due to the body parts reflecting the light of the sun or moon to the observer.
If the body is not perfectly smooth, only parts of this body would be at the correct position to reflect the light of the sun or moon to the observer.
If the body was perfectly smooth, it would act like a mirror where you can see the full image of the sun or the moon reflected on it.

How does energy travel in a mechanical wave?
VLD [36.1K]

Answer: in a medium

Explanation:

Mechanical waves require medium to transfer energy. The medium particles vibrate about their fixed position to transfer energy.  There is no transport of medium particles.

Example, sound waves are mechanical waves. The sound travels through compression and rarefaction of the medium particles.

The storage coefficient of a confined aquifer is 6.8x10-4 determined by a pumping test. The thickness of the aquifer is 50 m and
Ivanshal [37]

Answer

given,

storage coefficient, S = 6.8 x 10⁻⁴

thickness of aquifer, t = 50 m

porosity of the aquifer, n = 25 % = 0.25

Density of the water, γ = 9810 N/m³

Compressibilty  of water,β = 4.673 x 10⁻¹⁰ m²/N

We know,

   S = γ t(nβ + α)

where, α is the compressibility of the aquifer

   6.8 x 10⁻⁴  =9810 x 50 x (0.25 x 4.673 x 10⁻¹⁰+ α)

     α = 1.269 x 10⁻⁹ m²/N

Expansability of water

            = n t β γ

            = 0.25 x 50 x 4.673 x 10⁻¹⁰ x 9810

            = 5.73 x 10⁻⁵

The primary difference between mechanical waves and electromagnetic waves is that mechanical waves need a _________ to travel th
morpeh [17]

Answer:

Medium

Explanation:

Electromagnetic waves (light, electricity) can travel through space, which has no medium (air), while mechanical waves cannot. The main medium for mechanical waves is air, and without the medium, the wave cannot travel. This is why you cannot hear sound in space.
