A sound wave propagates through a region filled with an ideal gas at constant temperature T. It approaches an acoustically perme

able but thermally insulating membrane such that the angle between the wave and the plane of the membrane is 30 degrees. On the other side of the membrane is the same gas at a different temperature T. What is the minimum value of T/T such that no sound passes across the barrier? (You may find it useful to know that the speed of sound in an ideal gas is proportional to VT.) a.1 b.1/2 c.3/4 d.4/3. e.2.

Answer:

The answer is <em>e.2</em>

Explanation:

We should make use of Snell's refractive law. The arriving wave has a certain velocity at T in a medium, then instantly it reaches a medium (same composition) at T' where velocity would either decrease or increase.

When the incidence angle is 30 °, and we want to make the refraction angle 90 ° such that no sound passes through the barrier (this would be named total internal refraction), so we want the second medium to be "faster" than in the first.

KiRa [710]

Atmospheric refraction is the deviation of light or other electromagnetic wave from a straight line as it passes through the atmosphere due to the variation in air density as a function of height. ... Refraction not only affects visible light rays, but all electromagnetic radiation, although in varying degrees.

So in short, the answer is D.

A horizontal force of 200 N is applied to move a 55 kg television set across a 10 m level surface. What is the work done by the
vivado [14]

Answer:

The work done is "2000 J".

Explanation:

The given values are:

Force,

F = 200 N

Mass,

m = 55 kg

Displacement,

d = 10 m

Now,

The work done will be:

⇒  Work \ done= Force\times displacement

On substituting the given values, we get

⇒                     =200\times 10

⇒                     =2000 \ J
