Wave 3 will move the slowest, the statement could made about the data collected in Hamish's table

Answer: Option C

<u>Explanation: </u>

Sound waves require medium to pass from one to another. Depending upon the density of molecules in the medium, the speed of the sound waves can be determined. As we know that compression and rarefactions will be formed for propagation of sound waves when the waves collide with molecules of the medium.

So, if there is less molecules present in the medium or loosely packed molecules present in the medium with high mean free path length than the sound wave will be travelling slowly in that medium.

Thus, as we known that gas has the loosely packed molecules among the other states of matter, so wave 3 which is made to pass through the gas medium will be propagation at the lowest speed or will move the slowest compared to other 3 gases made to propagate in solid and liquid mediums.

suppose the same amount of heat is applied to two bars. they have the same mass, but experience different changes in temperature
Andreyy89

If both bars are made of a good conductor, then their specific heat capacities must be different. If both are metals, specific heat capacities of different metals can vary by quite a bit, eg, both are in kJ/kgK, Potassium is 0.13, and Lithium is very high at 3.57 - both of these are quite good conductors.

If one of the bars is a good conductor and the other is a good insulator, then, after the surface application of heat, the temperatures at the surfaces are almost bound to be different. This is because the heat will be rapidly conducted into the body of the conducting bar, soon achieving a constant temperature throughout the bar. Whereas, with the insulator, the heat will tend to stay where it's put, heating the bar considerably over that area. As the heat slowly conducts into the bar, it will also start to cool from its surface, because it's so hot, and even if it has the same heat capacity as the other bar, which might be possible, it will eventually reach a lower, steady temperature throughout.

Monochromatic light of wavelength λ=136.8μ m is shone at normal incidence through a thin film of thickness t resting atop a full
inn [45]

Answer:

1.8 × 10⁻⁸ Hm

Explanation:

Given that:

The refractive index of the film = 19

The wavelength of the light = 136.8 μ m

The thickness can be calculated by using the formula shown below as:

Thickness=\frac {\lambda}{4\times n}

Where, n is the refractive index of the film

{\lambda} is the wavelength

So, thickness is:

Thickness=\frac {136.8\ \mu\ m}{4\times 19}

Thickness = 1.8 μ m

Since,

1 μ m = 10⁻⁸ Hm

So,

Thickness = 1.8 × 10⁻⁸ Hm

Where is heat transferred by radiation in a lava lamp
GuDViN [60]

Answer:

Explanation:

A lava lamp consists of oil, and wax in a glass, and a heat source (a light bulb) placed underneath the glass. When the lamp is turned on the bulb gets hot. As the bulb heats up some of the heat from the bulb is transferred to the glass by radiation.
