Answer: B. the isovolumetric process

Explanation:

In the graph given, the volume is constant throughout. It represents a constant volume process. Such processes are called the isovolumetric process or isochoric process.

<em>Hence, option B is the correct answer.</em>

Option A is incorrect because in an isobaric process, the pressure is constant.

Option C is incorrect because in an isothermal process, the temperature is constant.

Option D is incorrect because in an adiabatic process there is no heat transfer.

Suppose a light source is emitting red light at a wavelength of 700 nm and another light source is emitting ultraviolet light at

klasskru [66]

Answer:

b) twice the energy of each photon of the red light.

Explanation:

$\lambda$ = Wavelength

h = Planck's constant = $6.626\times 10^{-34}\ m^2kg/s$

c = Speed of light = $3\times 10^8\ m/s$

Energy of a photon is given by

$E=h\nu\\\Rightarrow E=h\dfrac{c}{\lambda}$

Let $\lambda_1$ = 700 nm

$\lambda_2=350\\\Rightarrow \lambda_2=\dfrac{\lambda_1}{2}$

For red light

$E_1=\dfrac{hc}{\lambda_1}$

For UV light

$E_2=\dfrac{hc}{\dfrac{\lambda_1}{2}}$

Dividing the equations

$\dfrac{E_1}{E_2}=\dfrac{\dfrac{hc}{\lambda_1}}{\dfrac{hc}{\dfrac{\lambda_1}{2}}}\\\Rightarrow \dfrac{E_1}{E_2}=\dfrac{1}{2}\\\Rightarrow E_2=2E_1$

Hence, the answer is b) twice the energy of each photon of the red light.

Imagine a ringing bell set inside a sealed glass jar. Once all the air is removed and a vacuum is crated, the ringing sound is n

kenny6666 [7]

Sound wave needs medium to travel

as energy which travels in this wave is because of transfer from one particle to another particle

If there is no medium then energy can not be transferred and sound wave will not travel

so in vacuum we can not listen sound

similarly here air is removed it means there is no medium inside the jar to travel the sound and hence we can not hear it

Option B is correct

Without air, the sound waves cannot travel to the ear.

An astronaut is moving in space when a big explosion occurs about 50 meters behind him. How will the astronaut come to know abou

LUCKY_DIMON [66]

Answer:

The correct answer is B.

The astronaut will know due to the light from the explosion.

Explanation:

Sound and vibrations require a medium such as air to travel through. Space, there is no air. Only a vacuum. So sound and vibrations are unable to travel. Light requires no medium to travel. It can go through a vacuum.

Therefore the Astronaut will see a bright flash of light as it travels from the explosion to outer space. It is also important to note that light can travel very far because nothing else interacts with its wave particles and as such, it cannot be impeded.

Cheers!

Sam's job at the amusement park is to slow down and bring to a stop the boats in the log ride. If a boat and its riders have a m

shutvik [7]

Answer:

Sam will do 1152 J of work to stop the boat

Explanation:

Work: This is defined as the product of force and distance, the S.I unit of work is Joules. At any point in science, during calculation Energy and worked can be interchange because they have the same unit.

E = W = 1/2mv²................ Equation 1

Where E = energy, W = work, m = mass, v = velocity.

Given: m = 900 kg, v = 1.6 m/s

Substituting these values into equation 1

W = 1/2(900)(1.6)²

W = 450×2.56

W = 1152 J.

Therefore Sam will do 1152 J of work to stop the boat
