Do compressional waves need a medium? If so which one would be the fastest ans slowest medium.

Nastasia [14]3 years ago

Yes, compression waves need a medium. without a medium there is nothing to compress, hence, no wave. A fast medium like a gas (air) is easy to compress and allows waves to move through it easily. a slow medium, like a liquid, is still pretty fast, but not as fast as air.

PLEASE HELPP MEEE!!!!!!!!!The goal is to increase the power; therefore, it is necessary to
Brrunno [24]

As we know that power is defined as rate of work done

so we will have

P = \frac{Work}{time}

so in order to increase the power as per above formula we know that either we need to increase the work or we need to decrease the time to complete that work

So here the correct answer will be

increase the work being done or decrease the time in which the work is completed.

a parallel circuit is sometimes called a because the current splits up among all the resistors in the parallel circuit
Ahat [919]
A parallel circuit is sometimes called a current divider because current splits up among all the resistors in the parallel circuit. In addition, the current through the branches is inversely proportional to the resistance of the branch. If the resistance in each branch is kept constant but the voltage is decreased, the current will decrease.

The sound produced by the loudspeaker in the drawing has a frequency of 11999 Hz and arrives at the microphone via two different
const2013 [10]

The speed at which sound travels through the gas in the tube is 719.94m/s

<u>Explanation:</u>

Given:

Frequency, f = 11999Hz

Wavelength, λ = 0.03m

Velocity, v = ?

Sound speed in the tube is calculated by multiplying the frequency v by the wavelength λ.

As the sound loudness changed from a maximum to a minimum, then we know the sound interference in the case changed from constructive interference (the two sound waves are in phase, i.e. peaks are in a line with peaks and so the troughs), to a destructive interference (peaks coinciding with troughs). The least distance change required to cause such a change is a half wavelength distance, so:

λ/2 = 0.03/2

 λ  = 0.06m

We know,

v = λf

v = 0.06 X 11999Hz

v = 719.94m/s

Therefore, the speed at which sound travels through the gas in the tube is 719.94m/s
