Why can light travel through outer space, but sound cannot?

2 answers:

because sound needs to travel through a medium , like air . much of outer space is a vacuum, with nothing there , so sound has nothing to travel through . Light does not need a medium to travel through .

I hope that's help !

Usually, sound needs a medium to travel through, like a vacuum for example.

Light does not need a medium to travel, and since air is considered a medium, light is not dependent on that.

On the other hand, sound needs a medium to travel through, and outer space doesn't contain space, therefore, no sound.

Glycerin (C3H8O3) is a nonvolatile liquid. What is the vapor pressure of a solution made by adding 154 g of glycerin to 316 mL o

garri49 [273]

Answer:

$P_{sol}=50.4\ mm.Hg$

Explanation:

According to given:

molecular mass of glycerin, $M_g=3\times 12+8+3\times 16=92\ g.mol^{-1}$

molecular mass of water, $M_w=2+16=18\ g.mol^{-1}$

∵Density of water is $0.992\ g.cm^{-3}= 0.992\ g.mL^{-1}$

∴mass of water in 316 mL, $m_w=316\times 0.992=313.5 g$

mass of glycerin, $m_g=154\ g$

pressure of mixture, $P_x=55.32\ torr= 55.32\ mm.Hg$

temperature of mixture, $T_x=40^{\circ}C$

Upon the formation of solution the vapour pressure will be reduced since we have one component of solution as non-volatile.

moles of water in the given quantity:

$n_w=\frac{m_w}{M_w}$

$n_w=\frac{313.5}{18}$

$n_w=17.42 moles$

moles of glycerin in the given quantity:

$n_g=\frac{m_g}{M_g}$

$n_g=\frac{154}{92}$

$n_g=1.674 moles$

Now the mole fraction of water:

$X_w=\frac{n_w}{n_w+n_g}$

$X_w=\frac{17.42}{17.42+1.674}$

$X_w=0.912$

Since glycerin is non-volatile in nature so the vapor pressure of the resulting solution will be due to water only.

$\therefore P_{sol}=X_w\times P_x$

$\therefore P_{sol}=0.912\times 55.32$

$P_{sol}=50.4\ mm.Hg$

Calculate the radiative and collisional energy losses (in keV/micron) for a 1.9 MeV electron in lead and determine the rad./coll

Andrew [12]

Answer:

Explanation:

During an energy transfer, the collision loss for an electron can be determined by using the formula:

$Q = \dfrac{4mME }{(m+M)^2}$

However; from the total stopping power & power loss of the electron;

$\dfrac{radiational \ energy \ loss}{colisional \ energy \ loss } = \dfrac{ZE}{800}$

where;

Z = atomic no. for lead = 82

E = 1.9 MeV

∴

radiational energy loss = collisional energy loss $=\dfrac{82 \times 1.9}{800}$

= 0.19475

Normally, the traditional lead shielding in its pure shape contains high brittleness. However, the functionality of this carbon group chemical element is useful for protection because it has an excessive density.

Initially, the conventional lead protection however reduces the mild clarity at the same moment as plexiglass is useful for light transmittance and readability.

Moreover, the traditional lead with its high density and thickness reduces observation features, in the meantime, the plexiglass is a whole lot higher than the stated.

Finally, plexiglass contains a high dimensional balance with an excessive dielectric constant.

According to Newton's third law of motion, if you push against a wall, the wall will __________.

beks73 [17]

It would be C as the law says "Formally stated, Newton's third law is: For every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction. The statement means that in every interaction, there is a pair of forces acting on the two interacting objects. The size of the forces on the first object equals the size of the force on the second object."
