Which of the following statements about electromagnetic and mechanical waves is true?

Chemistry
1 answer:
mr Goodwill [35]4 years ago
4 0

Answer:

B. Mechanical waves must travel through a medium, but electromagnetic waves do not require a medium.

Explanation:

A wave is defined as any disturbance that transmits energy from one point to another.

Waves can be typically classified as either mechanical or electromagnetic waves.

Mechanical waves are waves that requires a medium for their propagation. In a vacuum, they cannot be propagated and would not cause any disturbance. An example is sound waves.

Electromagnetic waves do not require a medium to be propagated. They can pass through any substance in nature. Electromagnetic radiations belongs to this class.

7. Explain how excitatory and inhibitory actions of neurotransmitters are different.
Sauron [17]

In contrast to an inhibitory transmitter, an excitatory transmitter encourages the development of an electrical signal known as an action potential in the receiving neuron.

Depolarization is brought on by excitatory neurotransmitters (decrease in membrane potential). Hyperpolarization is brought on by inhibitory neurotransmitters (increase in membrane potential).

Neurotransmitters fall into two categories: excitatory and inhibitory. While inhibitory neurotransmitters work to stop an action potential, excitatory neurotransmitters function to activate receptors on the postsynaptic membrane and enhance the effects of the action potential.

While inhibitory neurons release neurotransmitters that prevent action potential firing, excitatory neurons release neurotransmitters that cause an action potential to occur in the postsynaptic neuron.

Let's know more about Excitatory & Inhibitory

suppose that you are comparing several objects. is it correct to say that the object with the largest volume has the largest mas
Semmy [17]

Answer:

No

Explanation:

It is not correct to say that an object with the largest volume has the largest mass.

Mass and volume are not directly related. In fact, the relationship between them can be direct or inverse.

Mass is the amount of matter in a substance. Volume is the space a body occupies.

  • A balloon and a stone for example is a typical one.
  • A balloon has more volume but far lesser mass compared to a stone.
  • A stone, gravel sized has low volume but more massive than a balloon.

Therefore, it is wrong to say a balloon has more mass because it has more volume.

What is the volume of 0.20 moles of helium at STP?
stealth61 [152]

The volume of 0.20 moles of helium at STP is 4.5 liters.

Explanation:

Given:

Number of moles  = 0.20 moles

To Find:

The volume of Helium at STP =?

Solution:

According to ideal gas law

PV = nRT

where

P is pressure,  

V  is volume,  

n  is the number of moles  

R  is the gas constant, and  

T  is temperature in Kelvin.

The question already gives us the values for  p  and  T ,because helium is at STP. This means that temperature is  273.15 K  and pressure is  1 atm .

We also already know the gas constant. In our case, we'll use the value of  

0.08206 L atm/K mol  since these units fit the units of our given values the best

On substituting these values we get

1 atm \times  V = 0.20 moles  \times  0.08206 L atm/K mol

V = \frac{0.20 moles  \times  0.08206 L atm/K mol }{ 1 atm}

V = \frac{4.482}{1}

V =  4.5 Liters
