Entropy is randomness.
It mostly applies to gas particles because they move around randomly and freely
In a spectrum of visible light, we will see that red appears to have a longer wavelength than the blue light. Since wavelength and frequency are inversely proportional then, red will have a smaller frequency than does the blue light.
Answer:
The frequency of the piano string is <em>1059 Hz</em>.
Explanation:
The frequency beat (fb), 2 beats/second, is the absolute difference between the frequency of the tuning fork (1056 Hz) and the frequency of the piano string.
As the piano string gets tightened, the frequency beat becomes 3 beats/second.
Therefore,
fb = 
Answer:
1. The reason why nichrome wire is used in a heater is due to the properties of nichrome which makes it a material of choice for heating application including;
i) The cost of manufacture of nichrome is low
ii) Nichrome has both high mechanical and creep strength, and therefore is suitable for installation and use in a wide setting
iii) Nichrome has a high resistance to electron flow, making it a good electrical heating element
iv) Nichrome has a high resistance to oxidation, such that it can be reused several times as a heater
v) The high ductility of nichrome allows it to be stretched and drawn around different vessels with contents to which heat is to be supplied
2. Copper wire is not used in heaters because according to Joule's law, the heat produced from the flow of electric current, 'I', through a material having a resistance, 'R', for a time, 't', is proportional to I²·R·t, and copper has a very low resistance, 'R', to the flow of electric current, and therefore, will not produce sufficient heat required at a given current level
