Which statement about how light travels is true?

Physics

Misha Larkins [42]3 years ago

The correct answer to the question is - A). Light waves can travel in a vacuum and travel at a constant speed even if the light source is moving.

EXPLANATION:

Before going to answer this question, first we have to understand the fundamental postulate of quantum mechanics.

As per the fundamental postulate of quantum mechanics, the speed of light is always constant irrespective of the nature of frame of reference i.e speed of light is same both in inertial and non-inertial frame of reference. It is independent of the velocity of source also.

Again we know that light is an electromagnetic wave. Hence, it won't require any medium for its propagation. It can travel in space or vacuum also.

Hence, the correct option out of four options is that light waves can travel in a vacuum and travel at a constant speed even if the light source is moving.

An athlete in a gym applies a constant force of 50 N to the pedals of a bicycle to keep the rotation rate of the wheel at 10 rev
marishachu [46]

Answer:

Explanation:

Given that,

Force applied to pedal F = 50N

Angular velocity ω = 10rev/s

We know that, 1rev = 2πrad

Then, ω = 10rev/s = 10×2π rad/s

ω = 20π rad/s

Length of pedal r = 30cm = 0.3m

Power?

Power is given as

P = τ×ω

We need to find the torque τ

τ = r × F

Since r is perpendicular to F

Then, τ = 0.3 × 50

τ = 15 Nm

Then,

P = τ×ω

P = 15 × 20π

P = 942.48 Watts

power delivered to the bicycle by the athlete is 942.48 W

Which of the following is most closely related to the specific heat of a substance?A. its temperatureB. its melting pointC. its
swat32

Answer:

option (C)

Explanation:

The amount of heat required to raise the temperature of substance of unit mass by unit degree is called specific heat of that substance.

Its SI unit is Joule / Kg °C.

Every material has a constant value of specific heat.

So, option (c) is correct.

Describe how you expect the waveform and the sound you hear changes when you hit the tuning fork harder.
myrzilka [38]

Answer:

In a tuning fork, two basic qualities of sound are considered, they are

1) The pitch of the waveform: This pitch depends on the frequency of the wave generated by hitting the tuning fork.

2) The loudness of the waveform: This loudness depends on the intensity of the wave generated by hitting the tuning fork.

Hitting the tuning fork harder will make it vibrate faster, increasing the number of vibrations per second. The number of vibration per second is proportional to the frequency, so hitting the tuning fork harder increase the frequency. From the explanation on the frequency above, we can say that by increasing the frequency the pitch of the tuning fork also increases.

Also, hitting the tuning fork harder also increases the intensity of the wave generated, since the fork now vibrates faster. This increases the loudness of the tuning fork.

The security alarm on a parked car goes off and produces a frequency of 769 Hz. The speed of sound is 343 m/s. As you drive towa
uysha [10]

Answer:

Explanation:

ASSUMING your speed is constant

f₀ = f(v + vo)/(v + vs)

   Δf = f approach - f depart

69.5 = (769(343 + vo)/(343 + 0)) - (769(343 - vo)/(343 + 0))

69.5 = 769(2vo/343)

  vo = 15.5 m/s
