<span>carrying twice the weight and climbing twice as high</span>

Answer : The correct option is (c).

Explanation :

The energy which is due to the height of an object under the action of gravity is called gravitational potential energy.

Mathematically, it can be written as :

P = m g h

Where,

m is the mass of the object

g is the acceleration due to gravity

h is the height of the object from the reference level

So, potential energy is directly proportional to both the mass and the height.

The statement about the largest increase in a mountain climber’s gravitational potential energy is "carrying twice the weight and climbing twice as high".

Describes the relationship between the spectrum of one atom and the spectrum of another?
krok68 [10]

The relationship between the number of visible spectral lines are identical for atoms .However they have unique wavelengths.

Option B

<u> Explanation:</u>

A spectrum is a range of frequencies or a range of wavelengths. The photon energy of the emitted photon is equal to the difference between two states. For every atom there are quite many electron transitions and each has a energy difference.

This difference in wavelength causes spectrum .As each element emission spectrum is unique because each atom has different energy and causes uniqueness in the emission spectrum . Hence, due to the difference in energy it emits different wavelengths.

Two sound waves have equal displacement amplitudes, but wave 1 has two-thirds the frequency of wave 2. What is the ratio of the
zlopas [31]

Answer:

\dfrac{I_1}{I_2}=\dfrac{4}{9}

Explanation:

c = Speed of wave

\rho = Density of medium

A = Area

\nu = Frequency

\nu_1=\dfrac{2}{3}\nu_2

Intensity of sound is given by

I=\dfrac{1}{2}\rho c(A\omega)^2\\\Rightarrow I=\dfrac{1}{2}\rho c(A2\pi \nu)^2

So,

I\propto \nu^2

We get

\dfrac{I_1}{I_2}=\dfrac{\nu_1^2}{\nu_2^2}\\\Rightarrow \dfrac{I_1}{I_2}=\dfrac{\dfrac{2}{3}^2\nu_2^2}{\nu_2^2}\\\Rightarrow \dfrac{I_1}{I_2}=\dfrac{4}{9}

The ratio is \dfrac{I_1}{I_2}=\dfrac{4}{9}
