Answer:

MATERIAL MEDIUM

Explanation:

Wave is a disturbance that travels through a medium and transfer energy from one point to another without causing any permanent displacement of the medium itself. The two forms of wave are the mechanical wave and the electromagnetic waves.

Mechanical wave is a wave with requires MATERIAL MEDIUM for its propagation. This means that before wave can be propagated at times, material medium is needed e.g a ripple tank. A ripple tank is a mechanical device that generates waves using an instrument called stroboscope attached to it. This kind of wave requires an external source before it can propagate compared to electromagnetic waves that does not require material medium for its propagation.

A string has its 4th harmonic at 31.5 Hz. What is the fundamental frequency?

seropon [69]

Given data

*The given 4th harmonic frequency is 31.5 Hz

The fundamental frequency is calculated as

$\begin{gathered} f_n=\frac{31.5}{4} \\ =7.875\text{ Hz} \end{gathered}$

Hence, the fundamental frequency is 7.875 Hz

According to the rayleigh criterion, what is the shortest object we could resolve at the 25.0 cm near point with light of wavele

Blizzard [7]

Answer:

$6.71 *10^{-5}$ rad

Explanation:

∅ = $\frac{1.22*wavelength}{D}$ = $\frac{1.22*550 * 10^{-9} }{25 * 10^{-2} }$

∅ = $6.71 *10^{-5}$ rad

The minimum resolvable angle = $6.71 *10^{-5}$ rad

The activation of clotting factors will be blocked.

dedylja [7]

With the blocking of activation of clotting factors, the rate of conversion of fibrinogen to fibrin will decrease to a huge extent and this will prevent the clot formation.

Option A

<h3><u>Explanation:</u></h3>

The process of stopping of flow of blood through any wound by formation of a clot is known as blood clotting. The clot in blood is formed by conversion of the fibrinogen protein into its polymer form fibrin which forms a meshwork.

The conversion of fibrinogen to fibrin requires a lot of enzymes and factors present which is required one by one, known as the Cascade theory. Total of 13 factors are required, where there are prothrombin, thromboplastin, and different other factors. Inactivation of any of the 13 factors will lead to less conversion of fibrinogen to fibrin, thereby the rate of conversion will highly decrease.
