<h2>Answer:</h2>

<h2>Cohesion </h2>

Is the attraction that molecules have for others of their same type.

<h2>Adhesion </h2>

Is the attraction that molecules have for others of different type by intermolecular forces.

A good example of both is water that can stick to itself through hydrogen bonds (cohesion) and can also stick to a glass due to adhesion.

So, while Cohesion is the force of attraction between adjacent particles within the same body, Adhesion is the interaction between the surfaces of different bodies.

If the focal length of a concave mirror is 18cm, find its radius of curvature.

Galina-37 [17]

Given :

The focal length of a concave mirror is 18 cm.

To Find :

The radius of curvature of the concave mirror.

Solution :

We know,

$\text{Focal length}=\dfrac{\text{Radius of curvature}}{2}\\\\F=\dfrac{R}{2}\\\\R = 18\times 2\ cm\\\\R = 36 \ cm$

Therefore, the radius of curvature of concave mirror is 36 cm.

Hence, this is the required solution.

Comparing sound waves with different frequencies and wavelengths traveling through air,

aleksklad [387]

Explanation:

The speed of sound wave only depends on the property of the medium like density and the bulk modulus of the medium particle. The speed of sound also depends on the temperature of the medium.

On comparing sound waves with different frequencies and wavelengths traveling through air, the speed of the wave doesn’t depend on the frequency or the wavelength. Hence, the correct option is (1).
