Answer:

Peaks

Explanation:

- A transverse wave is a wave in which the oscillation occurs in a direction perpendicular to the direction of propagation of the wave

- A longitudinal wave is a wave in which the oscillation occurs in a direction parallel to the direction of propagation of the wave

In a transverse wave, the highest and the lowest points of the wave are determined by the presence of crests (peaks) and troughs. On the contrary, in a longitudinal wave, the wave consists of alternating regions of higher particle density (called compressions) and of lower particle density (called rarefactions).

Therefore, the correct answer is

peaks

A bicycle pump contains 20 cm3 of air at a pressure of 100 kPa. The air is then pumped in a tyre of volume 100 cm3. Calculate th

Natasha2012 [34]

Answer:

The pressure of the air in the tyre is 20 kPa

Explanation:

The parameters for the bicycle pump and tyre are;

The volume of air contained in the bicycle pump, V₁ = 20 cm³

The pressure of the air contained in the bicycle pump, P₁ = 100 kPa

The volume (available) of the tyre, where the air is pumped, V₂ = 100 cm³

Let P₂ represent the pressure in the tyre after the air is pumped

By Boyle's law, we have that at constant temperature, the volume of a given mass of gas is inversely proportional to its pressure;

Mathematically, Boyle's law gives the following equation;

P₁ × V₁ = P₂ × V₂

∴ P₂ = (P₁ × V₁)/V₂

Substituting the known values gives;

P₂ = (100 kPa × 20 cm³)/(100 cm³)

∴ P₂ = 100 kPa × 1/5 = 20 kPa

P₂ = 20 kPa

The pressure of the air in the tyre = P₂ = 20 kPa.

How do dog whistles work?

Alchen [17]

<em>The sound it emits comes from what is known as the ultrasonic range, a pitch that is so high humans can't hear it. Dogs can hear these sounds, however, as can cats and other animals. Because of this, the dog whistle is a favored training tool, though it may not be for every dog parent.</em>

Suppose the farthest distance a person can see without visual aid is 53 cm.

natita [175]

Answer: a. 53cm b. Diverging c. 0.02dioptres

Explanation:

Since the person in question cannot see far object clearly, it shows that the individual is suffering from myopia (short sightedness).

If the object distance (u) is 53cm. for the person to be able to see far way, it means the image must be at infinity. This shows image distance v is infinity. Using the lens formula

1/f = 1/u+1/v

1/f = 1/53 + 1/Infinity

1/f = 1/53 + 0

f=53cm

b) The lens used is concave lens (diverging lens) to diverge all rays outwards

c) Power of a lens P will be 1/53.

P = 0.02dioptres
