Answer: Yes

Air serves as a propagation medium.

Explanation:

Propagation of sound wave require a medium for transmission. Sound is produced by vibrating objects, The matter or substance through which sound is transmitted is called a medium. It can be solid, liquid or gas. Therefore to propagate sounds (human voice) from one end of a lecture hall to the other we need a propagation medium which is air. Air serves as a propagation medium.

Ronch [10]

Correct answer choice is :

B) Able to travel through a vacuum.

Explanation:

Electromagnetic waves are applied to carry long/short/FM wavelength radio waves, and TV/telephone/wireless signals or services. They are also effective for transferring energy in the form of microwaves, infrared radiation, visible light, ultraviolet light, X-rays, and gamma rays. Electromagnetic waves change from mechanical waves in that they do not need a medium to generate. This means that electromagnetic waves can move not only in the air and solid matters but also in the void of space.

Calculate a rate of cooling down of air from 80 C to 5C Show calculation. Give an answer in cubic meters per minute and cfm.

antoniya [11.8K]

Explanation:

Given that,

Rate of cooling of air

Initial temperature= 80°C

Final temperature = 5°C

We need to calculate

Using newton's law of cooling

$\dfrac{dT}{dt}=c(T-T_{0})$

$\dfrac{dT}{dt}=c(\dfrac{T_{1}+T_{2}}{2}-T_{0})$

Where, $dT=T_{1}-T_{2}$

Here, $T =\dfrac{T_{1}+T_{2}}{2}$

$T_{0}$ = 25°C (surrounding temperature)

dt = 1 minute

$\dfrac{dT}{dt}=c(\dfrac{T_{1}+T_{2}}{2}-T_{0})$

Put the value into the formula

$\dfrac{80-5}{1}=c(\dfrac{85}{2}-25)$

$c=\dfrac{75}{17.5}$

$c=4.285\ cubic\ meter/minute$

Hence, This is the required answer.

Sound waves are mechanical waves. Which statement is true for this type of wave?

Bad White [126]

Answer:

Electromagnetic waves do not require a medium in order to transport their energy. Mechanical waves are waves that require a medium in order to transport their energy from one location to another. ... Sound is a mechanical wave and cannot travel through a vacuum.
