Suppose that sunlight is incident upon both a pair of reading glasses and a pair of sunglasses. Which pair would you expect to b

e warmer, and why?

Answer: the pair of sunglasses

Explanation:

A good pair of sunglasses are composed of abosorbent lenses that filter the sunlight that affects the eyes retina, especially ultraviolet (UV). So, these sunglasses are used to reduce the amount of light or radiant energy transmitted.

On the other hand, normal reading glasses (in which the lens glass has not been treated to filter ultraviolet sunlight) will let UV rays pass through.

Therefore, if both glasses are exposed to sunlight, the sunglasses are expected to be warmer by absorbing that radiant energy and preventing it from reaching the eyes.

Which statement regarding sound traveling in air is correct?
nikdorinn [45]

Answer: D. A wave with a shorter wavelength is always faster than one with a longer wavelength

Explanation: "Imagine two sets of waves that have the same speed. <u><em>If one set has a longer wavelength, it will have a lower frequency (more time between waves). If the other set has a shorter wavelength, it will have a higher frequency</em></u> (less time between waves). Light moves even faster AND has shorter wavelengths."

Why it's not C: "The number of complete wavelengths in a given unit of time is called frequency (f). <em><u>As a wavelength increases in size, its frequency and energy (E) decrease</u></em>. From these equations you may realize that as the frequency increases, the wavelength gets shorter. As the frequency decreases, the wavelength gets longer."

Why it's not B: "The frequency does not change as the sound wave moves from one medium to another. Since the speed changes and the frequency does not, the wavelength must change."

Why it's not A: "Do loud sounds travel faster than soft sounds? No. Both travel at the same speed The speed depends on the medium it passes through. Louder sounds are simply sound waves with higher amplitude traveling at the same speed."

Suppose 1.4 mol of an ideal gas is taken from a volume of 2.5 m3 to a volume of 1.0 m3 via an isothermal compression at 27°C. (a
zysi [14]

Answer:

Part a)

Q = 3198 J

Part b)

It is compression of gas so this is energy transferred to the gas

Explanation:

Part a)

Energy transfer during compression of gas is same as the work done on the gas

In isothermal process work done is given by the equation

W = nRT ln(\frac{V_2}{V_1})

now we know that

n = 1.4 moles

T = 27 degree C = 300 K

V_2 = 2.5 m^3

V_1 = 1 m^3

now we have

W = (1.4)(8.31)(300)(ln\frac{2.5}{1})

Q = 3198 J

Part b)

It is compression of gas so this is energy transferred to the gas
