Answer: The different speed of sound waves in water and in air

Explanation:

In general, sound (which is a mechanical wave) travels faster in solids than in liquids or gases. This is because the speed of  mechanical waves is determined by a relationship between the elastic properties of the medium in which they are propagated and the mass per unit volume of the medium (that is: density).  

In other words: The speed of sound varies depending on the medium through which the sound waves travel.  

This is why Jason notices that sounds underwater (a liquid medium) are different from sounds above water (a gas medium: air).

Two trains A and B of length 400 m each are moving on two parallel tracks with
Vinvika [58]

<u>Answer:</u>

<em>The initial distance between the trains is 1450 m. </em>

<u>Explanation:</u>

In the question two trains are of equal length 400 m and moves at a uniform speed of 72 km/h. train A is moving ahead of train B. If the train B has to overtake train A it should accelerate.

Train B’s acceleration  is 1m/s^2   and it accelerated for 50 seconds.

<em>a=1 m/s^2</em>

<em>t=50 s </em>

<em>initial speed u=72km/h </em>

<em>we have to convert this speed into m/s  </em>

<em>u=72 \times 5/18=20 m/s</em>

<em>Distance covered in accelerating phase  S=ut+1/2  at^2  </em>

<em>=20 \times 50+1/2 \times 1 \times 50^2</em>

<em>=1000+1250=2250 m </em>

If  a train is just behind another, the distance covered by the train located behind during overtaking phase will be equal to the sum of the lengths of the trains.

<em>Here length of train A+length of train B=400+400=800 m</em>

<em>Hence the initial distance between the trains = 2250-800=1450 m</em>

Anuta_ua [19.1K]

Answer:

Option (B)

Explanation:

Light is a form of electro-magnetic waves. This light wave has distinct range of wavelength that allows it to form different colors of light. This means that the color of the light produces depending on the amount of wavelength it comprises.

The visible light ranges from Violet to Red, and this is observed as different colors when each of these electromagnetic waves strikes our eyes at a certain angle. The violet light has the shortest wavelength of about 410 nm, where the red light has the highest wavelength of about 650 nm.

Thus, the correct answer is option (B).
