The multiple reflection of a single sound wave is a/an

1 answer:

8 0

A single reflection, like shouting at the side of a mountain and hearing
your voice come back to you, is an 'echo'.

Multiple reflection, like clapping your hands once inside a large room,
is 'reverberation'.

A sound wave moving with a speed of 1500 m/s is sent from a submarine to the ocean floor. It reflects off the

Alekssandra [29.7K]

Answer:

the distance between the submarine and the ocean floor is 11,250 m

Explanation:

Given;

speed of the wave, v = 1500 m/s

time of motion of the wave, t = 15 s

The time taken to receive the echo is calculated as;

$time \ of \ motion \ (t) = \frac{total \ distance }{speed \ of \ wave} = \frac{2d}{v} \\\\2d = vt\\\\d = \frac{vt}{2} \\\\d = \frac{1500 \times 15}{2} \\\\d = 11,250 \ m$

Therefore, the distance between the submarine and the ocean floor is 11,250 m

If C is 1kg and D is 100kg, and the initial velocities of both balls are 5m/s, how would the magnitude of the forces exerted by

kupik [55]

Answer:

Explanation:

The forces exerted by each mass is best understood in terms of their momentum.

Momentum is a sort of compelling force or impulse. It is given as:

Momentum = mass x velocity

Let us consider the momentum of the balls;

Substance C;

Mass = 1kg

Velocity = 5m/s

Momentum of C = 1 x 5 = 5kgm/s

Substance D:

Mass = 100kg

Velocity = 5m/s

Momentum of D = 100kg x 5m/s = 500kgm/s

Body D has a higher momentum compared to Body C. This suggests that body D will exert a higher force than C when they collide.

The higher the momentum, the more the force of impact it has.

Light is incident on an air-water interface at an angle of 30 degree to the normal. What angle does the refracted ray make with

Vikentia [17]

Answer:

22 degree

Explanation:

Angle of incidence, i = 30 degree

the refractive index of water with respect to air is 4/3.

As the ray of light travels from rarer medium to denser medium, that mean air to water, the refraction takes place.

According to Snell's law,

Refractive index of water with respect to air = Sin i / Sin r

Where, r be the angle of refraction

4 / 3 = Sin 30 / Sin r

0.75 = 2 Sin r

Sin r = 0.375

r = 22 degree

Thus, the angle of refraction is 22 degree.

An equipoterntial surface that surrounds a + 3.0 pC point charge has a radius of 2.0 cm. What is the potential of this surface?

mestny [16]

Answer:

Electric potential = 0.00054 V

Explanation:

We are given;

Charge; q = 3 pC = 3 × 10^(-12) C

Radius; r = 2 cm = 0.02 m

Formula for the electric potential of this surface will be;

V = kqr

Where;

K is a constant = 9 × 10^(9) N⋅m²/C².

Thus;

V = 9 × 10^(9) × 3 × 10^(-12) × 0.02

V = 0.00054 V

A type of Lead (Pb) ion has a + 4 oxidation number. Sulfur (S) has a — 2 oxidation number. What would be the chemical formula fo

serious [3.7K]

Answer: The chemical formula for the compound of these two elements is $PbS_2$

Explanation:

For formation of a neutral ionic compound, the charges on cation and anion must be balanced. The cation is formed by loss of electrons by metals and anions are formed by gain of electrons by non metals.

Here metal lead is having an oxidation state of +4 called as $Pb^{4+}$ cation and sulphur non metal has oxidation state of -2 called as $S^{2-}$ . Thus they combine and their oxidation states are exchanged and written in simplest whole number ratios to give neutral $PbS_2$

The chemical formula for the compound of these two elements is $PbS_2$
