Answer:

The correct answer is option A, An antacid neutralizes excess hydrogen ions.

Explanation:

Antacid neutralizes the acid in the stomach. These are bases/ alkali's. The reaction between an acid and a base in known as neutralization thereby reducing burning sensations produced by the acid.  

The antacid when reaches the stomach form gel like composition that lie on the top of food item in the stomach and prevent the oesophagus from the irritation caused by the acid.

If a short-wave radio station broadcasts on a frequency of 9.065 megahertz (MHz), what is the wavelength of
Yakvenalex [24]

Answer:

If the radio wave is on an FM station, these are in Megahertz. A megahertz is one ... Typical radio wave frequencies are about 88~108 MHz .

Explanation:

To calculate the wavelength of a radio wave, you will be using the equation: Speed of a wave = wavelength X frequency.

Since radio waves are electromagnetic waves and travel at 2.997 X

8

meters/second, then you will need to know the frequency of the radio wave.

If the radio wave is on an FM station, these are in Megahertz. A megahertz is one million hertz. If the radio wave is from an AM radio station, these are in kilohertz (there are one thousand hertz in a kilohertz). Hertz are waves/second. Hertz is usually the label for the frequency of electromagnetic waves.

To conclude, to determine the wavelength of a radio wave, you take the speed and divide it by the frequency.

Typical radio wave frequencies are about

_________ is the increase in density of a medium due to wave travel.
Alekssandra [29.7K]

Answer:

<h2>compression</h2>

Explanation:

Such type of the longitudinal waves that causes compression during the travelling through the medium is called as compression. Generally, displacement of the medium takes place in this wave travelling conditions. There are many waves that are considered as longitudinal waves such as sound waves, seismic p-waves and some other. Waves have different types of properties that are changed due to different medium.
