Answer:

A ripple tank is a transparent shallow tray of water with a light shining down through it onto a white card below. The light allows you to see the motion of the ripples created on the water's surface more easily. Ripples can be made by hand but to generate regular ripples it is better to use a motor

Explanation:

How does a ripple tank work?

The ripple tank is usually illuminated from above, so that the light shines through the water. ... The ripples on the water show up as shadows on the screen underneath the tank. All the basic properties of waves, including reflection, refraction, interference and diffraction, can be demonstrated.

A transformer consists of a 500 turn primary coil and a 2000-turnsecondary coil. If the current in the secondary is 3.0A, what i

Neporo4naja [7]

Answer:

The correct solution will be "12.0 A".

Explanation:

The given values are:

$N_p= 500 \ turn$

$N_s= 200 \ turn$

$I_s= 3.0 \ A$

By using the transformer formula, we get

⇒ $\frac{N_p}{N_s} =\frac{I_s}{I_p}$

⇒ $I_p = I_s\times \frac{N_s}{N_p}$

On substituting the given values, we get

⇒ $=3.0 \ A\times \frac{2000}{500}$

⇒ $=12.0 \ A$

lukranit [14]

Answer:NO

Explanation:

No the mold should not be of the same size as that of sculpture because the material from which molds is made may shrink or expand depending upon its properties .

For example grey cast iron shrinks on cooling.

We need to make mold bigger in general so that if there is a need of finishing it can be done easily without altering the size of sculpture.

Nuclear fusion occurs in stars. a. True b. False

AnnyKZ [126]

Stars are powered by nuclear fusion in their cores, mostly converting hydrogen into helium. The production of new elements via nuclear reactions is called nucleosynthesis. A star's mass determines what other type of nucleosynthesis occurs in its core (or during explosive changes in its life cycle). READ THIS AND YOU WILL UNDERSTAND I THINK IS TRUE
