Before answering this question, first we have to understand the effect of ratio of surface area to volume on the rate of diffusion.
The rate of diffusion for a body having larger surface area as compared to the ratio of surface area to volume will be more than a body having less surface area. Mathematically it can written as-
V∝ R [ where v is the rate of diffusion and r is the ratio of surface area to volume]
As per the question,the ratio of surface area to volume for a sphere is given
The surface area to volume ratio for right circular cylinder is given
Hence, it is obvious that the ratio is more for right circular cylinder.As the rate diffusion is directly proportional to the surface area to volume ratio,hence rate of diffusion will be more for right circular cylinder.
Hence the correct option is B. The rate of diffusion would be faster for the right cylinder.
Answer:
Explanation:
For sound waves we have v=d/t where v is the speed of sound and d the distance between the astronauts, while for electromagnetic waves we have c=D/t where c is the speed of light and D the distance between the spaceship and Earth. <em>We have written both times as the same</em> because is what is imposed by the problem, so we have t=d/v=D/c, which means:
And for our values:
