Answer:

<em>a. 24 m</em>

<em></em>

Explanation:

Destructive interference occurs when two waves arrive at a point, out of phase. In a completely destructive interference, the two waves cancel out, but in a partially destructive interference, they produce a wave with a time varying amplitude, but maintain a wavelength the wavelength of one of the original waves. Since the two waves does not undergo complete destructive interference, then the possible value of the new wave formed can only be 24 m, from the options given.

If a system has 225 kcal of work done to it, and releases 5.00 × 102 kj of heat into its surroundings, what is the change in int
vovikov84 [41]

We can solve the problem by using the first law of thermodynamics:

\Delta U = Q-W

where

\Delta U is the change in internal energy of the system

Q is the heat absorbed by the system

W is the work done by the system on the surrounding


In this problem, the work done by the system is

W=-225 kcal=-941.4 kJ

with a negative sign because the work is done by the surrounding on the system, while the heat absorbed is

Q=-5 \cdot 10^2 kJ=-500 kJ

with a negative sign as well because it is released by the system.


Therefore, by using the initial equation, we find

\Delta U=Q-W=-500 kJ+941.4 kJ=441.4 kJ

The activity of a radioisotope is found to decrease 40% of its original value in 2.59 x 10 s.
Rainbow [258]

Answer: 0.0353\ s^{-1}

Explanation:

Given

Radioactive material is found to decrease 40% of its original value in 2.59\times 10\ s

Sample at any time is given by

N=N_oe^{-\lambda t}

where, \lambda=\text{decay constant}

Put values

\Rightarrow 0.4N_o=N_oe^{-\lambda\cdot 2.59\times 10}\\\Rightarrow 0.4=e^{-\lambda\cdot 2.59\times 10

Taking natural logarithm both side

\Rightarrow \lambda=\dfrac{\ln 2.5}{25.9}\\\\\Rightarrow \lambda =0.0353\ s^{-1}
