Answer: The volume of an ideal gas will triple in value if the pressure is reduced to one-third of its initial value
Explanation:
We can determine this from the gas laws. Using Boyle's law, which states that "the pressure of a given mass of an ideal gas is inversely proportional to its volume at a constant temperature"
Mathematically, P ∝ (1/V)
Since P ∝ (1/V), we can then write that
P = k(1/V)
Where P is the pressure, V is the volume and k is the proportionality constant
PV = k
We can then write that
P1V1 = P2V2 = P3V3 = ...
Hence, P1V1 = P2V2
Where P1 is the initial pressure of the gas
P2 is the final pressure of the gas
V1 is the initial volume of the gas
and V2 is the final volume of the gas
From the question, we want to determine what will make the new volume be thrice the initial volume.
Hence,
P1 = P
V1 = V
P2= ??
V2 = 3V
Therefore,
P × V = P2 × (3V)
P2 = PV/3V
P2 = P/3 = 1/3(P)
This means the volume of an ideal gas will triple in value if the pressure is reduced to one-third of its initial value
Answer:
(a)
(b) v = 1064 m/s
Explanation:
(a) Frequency of electromagnetic wave,
Let is the wavelength of electromagnetic wave. It can be calculated as :
(b) Frequency of medium, f = 532 Hz
Wavelength,
Let v is the speed of sound wave in an unknown fluid. Using the relation as :
v = 1064 m/s
Hence, this is the required solution.
Answer:
Nuclear fusion is the process in which two atomic nuclei are fused together into a larger single nucleus, releasing energy in the process. ... In proton-proton fusion, four hydrogen atoms are fused into a single helium-4 atom, releasing a lot of energy in the process.
Explanation:
Frequency and wavelength are two variables which are
indirectly proportional.
They are related in the following equation:
f = c / w
Where,
<span>f = frequency c =
speed of light w = wavelength</span>
Since c is constant, we can equate condition 1 and
condition 2:
f1 w1 = f2 w2
When w2 = 3 w1, then f2 becomes:
261.63 w1 = f2 (3 w1)
Cancelling w1:
f2 = 261.63 / 3
<span>f2 = 87.21 Hz</span>
Answer:
A) It will move at a different speed (i.e slower)
B) A vacuum
Explanation:
For A), Light moves at a different speed as it starts to interact more with the particles in said medium (in this case, water) than the earlier medium.
For B), Light propagates using its own particle, i.e the photon whereas sound is more of a transmission of energy from the particles it originates from. In a vacuum, there are no particles to transfer energy to, that is why light can travel in a vacuum and sound cannot
