<em>Mechanical waves need a medium through which to transport energy is true</em>

Answer: <em>True </em>

Explanation:

Mechanical wave cannot travel in the absence of a material medium. The reason why sound can’t be heard in vacuum is because it is a mechanical wave. Seismic wave, which is produced during earthquakes and ocean waves are also mechanical waves.

Mechanical waves are of three types and they are

  • <em>Transverse wave </em>
  • <em>Longitudinal wave </em>
  • <em>Surface wave </em>

Electromagnetic waves are known for their propagation without a material medium. X-rays, light waves, infrared waves etc are electromagnetic waves.

Characteristic features of a wave are its frequency, wavelength, speed etc.

Answer:True

Explanation: The mechanical waves need a medium through which to transport energy because the perturbation travels inside of the medium so it needs molecules that connect elastically the displacement of the wave. For example the sound mainly uses the air molecules to transport the energy also the sound can be traveled in solid materials like metal rods.

The Earth’s diameter is about 8,000 miles; our Moon’s diameter is about 2,000 miles; how
Vitek1552 [10]

Three moons can fit inside the volume of the sun.

<h3>What is the moon?</h3>

The moon is a non luminous body found in the space. It could cause a solar eclipse when it comes between the sun and the earth.

Since the Earth’s diameter is about 8,000 miles and the Moon’s diameter is about 2,000 miles, to obtain the number of moons that could fit inside the sun we have;

8,000 miles/ 2,000 miles = 3

Hence, three moons can fit inside the volume of the sun.

Dolphin echolocation is similar to ultrasound. Reflected sound waves
s344n2d4d5 [400]

Answer:

Waves with high frequencies have shorter wavelengths that work better  than low frequency waves for successful echolocation.

Explanation:

To understand why high-frequency waves work better  than low frequency waves for successful echolocation, first we have to understand the relation between frequency and wavelength.

The relation between frequency and wavelength is given by

λ = c/f

Where λ is wavelength, c is the speed of light and f is the frequency.

Since the speed of light is constant, the wavelength and frequency are inversely related.

So that means high frequency waves have shorter wavelengths, which is the very reason for the successful echolocation because waves having shorter wavelength are more likely to reach and hit the target and then reflect back to the dolphin to form an image of the object.

Thus, waves with high frequencies have shorter wavelengths that work better  than low frequency waves for successful echolocation.

the ratio of the energy per second radiated by the filament of a lamp at 250k to that radiated at 2000k, assuming the filament i
Naily [24]

Answer:

(a) \frac{P_{250k}}{P_{2000k}}=2.4\ x\ 10^{-4}

(b) P =  0.816 Watt

Explanation:

(a)

The power radiated from a black body is given by Stefan Boltzman Law:

P = \sigma AT^4

where,

P = Energy Radiated per Second = ?

σ = stefan boltzman constant = 5.67 x 10⁻⁸ W/m².K⁴

T = Absolute Temperature

So the ratio of power at 250 K to the power at 2000 K is given as:

\frac{P_{250k}}{P_{2000k}}=\frac{\sigma A(250)^4}{\sigma A(2000)^4}\\\\\frac{P_{250k}}{P_{2000k}}=2.4\ x\ 10^{-4}

(b)

Now, for 90% radiator blackbody at 2000 K:

P = (0.9)(5.67\ x\ 10^{-8}\ W/m^2.K^4)(1\ x\ 10^{-6}\ m^2)(2000\ K)^4

<u>P =  0.816 Watt</u>
