Justify why sound waves need a medium to propagate with example??

Physics

Lana71 [14]3 years ago

3 0

Answer:

Sound needs a material medium for their propagation like solid, liquid or gas to travel because the molecules of solid, liquid and gases carry sound waves from one point to another. Sound cannot progress through the vacuum because the vacuum has no molecules which can vibrate and carry the sound waves.

What are some indicators that a chemical reaction is occurring? Check all that apply.

VikaD [51]

Hi there! When a chemical Reaction happens, the tell tale signs are as listed:
~The chemical produces bubbles
~ The Chemical emits an odor
~ The liquid forms a solid(Precipitate)
~ There is a change of color
~ And last but not least a change in temperature!

Hope this can help! Good luck!

A beam of monochromatic light with a wavelength of 400 nm in air travels into water. what is the wavelength of the light in wate

slava [35]

The refractive index of water is $n=1.33$ . This means that the speed of the light in the water is:
$v= \frac{c}{n}= \frac{3 \cdot 10^8 m/s}{1.33 }=2.26 \cdot 10^8 m/s$

The relationship between frequency f and wavelength $\lambda$ of a wave is given by:
$\lambda= \frac{v}{f}$
where v is the speed of the wave in the medium. The frequency of the light does not change when it moves from one medium to the other one, so we can compute the ratio between the wavelength of the light in water $\lambda_w$ to that in air $\lambda$ as
$\frac{\lambda_w}{\lambda}= \frac{ \frac{v}{f} }{ \frac{c}{f} } = \frac{v}{c}$
where v is the speed of light in water and c is the speed of light in air. Re-arranging this formula and by using $\lambda=400 nm$ , we find
$\lambda_w = \lambda \frac{v}{c}=(400 nm) \frac{2.26 \cdot 10^8 m/s}{3 \cdot 10^8 m/s}=301 nm$
which is the wavelength of light in water.

A meteor is

Leya [2.2K]

Answer:

A meteor is B) an icy body with a long tail extending from it.

Explanation:

Meteors are very small dust particles that, when penetrating into the Earth's atmosphere, burn quickly by rubbing with the gases of the same. Some meteors, those with larger dimensions and appreciable weights, are brighter and can describe longer trajectories, showing longer.

In other words, the meteoroids, celestial bodies can vary in size between 100 micrometers up to 50 meters, they collide with the atmosphere of our planet and if the particles are of a small size, upon impact they enter combustion creating a flash, is what we know as meteor or shooting star. Therefore, the meteor is a luminous phenomenon that leaves behind a persistent trail.

So, <u><em>a meteor is B) an icy body with a long tail extending from it.</em></u>
