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

Answer: Option C

Explanation:

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.

What is the frequency of a wave

MAVERICK [17]

The frequency of a wave is the number of waves that passes through a point in a certain time. The less waves that pass in a period of time the lower the frequency of the wave. The more waves that pass in a period of time the higher the frequency of the wave. When measuring wave length the time period used is usually one second.

This equation is used to calculate the properties of a gas under nonideal conditions.

goblinko [34]

Answer:

Van der Waal's equation

Explanation:

The Van der Waal's equation is use to calculate the properties of a gas under nonideal or real gases conditions.

$(P + \frac{an^2}{V^2})(V-nb) = nRT$ .

Here P, V ,T ,n and R have usual meaning as in the ideal gas equation

that is PV=nRT

with the difference of constant a and b. a and b are constants representing magnitude of intermolecular attraction and excluded volume respectively respectively.

Can someone please help me ASAP

Serggg [28]

Answer:

distance = 6.1022 x10^16[m]

Explanation:

To solve this problem we must use the formula of the average speed which relates distance to time, so we have

v = distance / time

where:

v = velocity = 3 x 10^8 [m/s]

distance = x [meters]
