It is true that the diameter of the moon is a little less than the distance across the United States.

Answer: Option A

<u>Explanation: </u>

Moon is the natural satellite of our Earth. It revolves around the Earth due to the gravitational force acting on the moon. The moon also has its own gravitational force. The gravitational force of moon is \frac{1}{6} t h of the gravitational force on Earth.

The mass of moon is 7.34 \times 10^{22} kg while the mass of the Earth is 5.972 \times 10^{24} kg. So the moon’s mass is very very less than that of Earth. So the diameter of moon is found as 3,472 km while the diameter of Earth is 12,742 km.

Thus the dimension of moon is \frac{1}{4} t h of the dimension of the Earth. Even the diameter of moon is little less than the distance across the United States as the distance across United States is 4509 km.

7.22 Ignoring reflection at the air–water boundary, if the amplitude of a 1 GHz incident wave in air is 20 V/m at the water surf
Serga [27]

Answer:

z = 0.8 (approx)

Explanation:

given,

Amplitude of 1 GHz incident wave in air = 20 V/m

Water has,

μr = 1

at 1 GHz, r = 80 and σ = 1 S/m.

depth of water when amplitude is down to  1 μV/m

Intrinsic impedance of air = 120 π  Ω

Intrinsic impedance of  water = \dfrac{120\pi}{\epsilon_r}

Using equation to solve the problem

  E(z) = E_0 e^{-\alpha\ z}

E(z) is the amplitude under water at z depth

E_o is the amplitude of wave on the surface of water

z is the depth under water

\alpha = \dfrac{\sigma}{2}\sqrt{\dfrac{(120\pi)^2}{\Epsilon_r}}

\alpha = \dfrac{1}{2}\sqrt{\dfrac{(120\pi)^2}{80}}

\alpha =21.07\ Np/m

now ,

  1 \times 10^{-6} = 20 e^{-21.07\times z}

  e^{21.07\times z}= 20\times 10^{6}

taking ln both side

21.07 x z = 16.81

z = 0.797

z = 0.8 (approx)

What happens to air pressure as altitude decreases
Ksivusya [100]
Pressure decreases with increasing altitude. The pressure at any level in the atmosphere may be interpreted as the total weight of the air above a unit area at any elevation. At higher elevations, there are fewer air molecules above a given surface than a similar surface at lower levels.
