pentagon [3]3 years ago
6 0

Explanation :

The characteristics of sound waves are as follows :

(1) Intensity : The power per unit area carried by a sound wave is called as the intensity of wave. So, I=\dfrac{P}{A}. Its unit is W/m^2.

(2) Loudness : Loudness means how the listener perceives the sound intensity. It is determined by the intensity of sound waves.

(3) Frequency : The number of to and  fro oscillations of sound wave per unit time is called as its frequency. Its unit is Hz or Hertz.

(4) Pitch : Pitch means the quality of sound. It is closely related to frequency. For high pitch, the number of waves are more.

Explanation : Explain each characteristic of sound waves.

Intensity : the intensity of the sound wave is understand as the power carry by sound wave per unit area in the direction perpendicular to that area.

Loudness :  loudness is the quality of the loud and soft of the sound wave.

Frequency : Human normal hear sound frequency between 20 Hz to kHz.

Pitch : Pitch is the quality of low and high of sound wave . pitch relates to the frequency of the slowest vibration in the sound wave for simple sound.

Suppose a sound wave and an electromagnetic wave have the same frequency. Which has the longer wavelength? 1. the electromagneti
Mashcka [7]

Answer:

1. the electromagnetic wave.

Explanation:

Mathematically,

wavelength = velocity ÷ frequency

A mechanical wave is a wave that is not capable of transmitting its energy through a vacuum. Mechanical waves require a medium in order to transport their energy from one location to another. A sound wave is an example of a mechanical wave. Sound waves are incapable of traveling through a vacuum.

Electromagnetic waves of different frequency are called by different names since they have different sources and effects on matter, increasing frequency decreases wavelength.

Sound waves (which obviously travel at the speed of sound) are much slower than electromagnetic waves (which travel at the speed of light.)  

Electromagnetic waves are much faster than sound waves and If the Velocity of the wave increases and the frequency is constant, the wavelength also increases.

Technician A says that side post terminals need to be removed to inspect them for corrosion. Technician B says that side post te
zlopas [31]

Answer: C

Explanation: Side post terminals need to be removed to inspect them for corrosion.

Over tightening the terminal bolt can damage side post terminals.

The battery terminals and cable ends can corrode especially when the battery or car is not used for a long period of time. Corrosion limits a battery's lifespan and so should be prevented. To inspect the areas where corrosion occur on a side-post battery, you need to remove the terminals.

Also, it is true that over tightening the terminal bolt can damage the side post terminals. The covering on the battery can become twisted, and make the seals on the terminals leak.

Lerok [7]

Answer:

1. The best definition of refraction is ____.

a. passing through a boundary

b. bouncing off a boundary

c. changing speed at a boundary

d. changing direction when crossing a boundary

 

Answer: D

Bouncing off a boundary (choice b) is reflection. Refraction involves passing through a boundary (choice a) and changing speed (choice c); however, a light ray can exhibit both of these behaviors without undergoing refraction (for instance, if it approaches the boundary along the normal). Refraction of light must involve a change in direction; the path must be altered at the boundary.
