Sonar is a technology that uses sound waves to calculate the distance to an object. Explain why you think sonar is useful for sc

ientists exploring the ocean floor. What can scientists do with sonar that may be difficult or impossible to do without it?

Answer:

<em>Sonar can be used to measure the depth of the seabed or the distance of any object, animal or a man-made vessel any other objects </em>

Explanation:

  • A sound wave or sound pulse is projected into the water.
  • If any object tends to come in the way of the pulse, an echo is produced or the signal is reflected back.
  • A transducer measures the strength of this signal and hence determines the depth of the object or the sea.

This is much better way of measuring distances under the sea since light alone is not able to pierce through the ocean after a certain distance.

A powerful sonar blast can help in taking multiple measurements at a time, while even a laser will find it difficult to reach below 3 km of depth.

Explain in terms of both electrons and energy how the bright line spectrum of an element is produced
quester [9]
<span>The atoms don't absorb the energy; the electrons absorb the energy. Electrons around atoms, without energy, are in an unexcited state, called a ground state. Once energy is absorbed, however, the electrons become excited, meaning they have more energy and are going to release it. Once they are excited, they make a transition from a lower valence shell to a higher valence shell, which is the transition state. Then, the electrons fall back to their own valence shell, releasing the energy, and are put in the ground state again. The energy that is released as quanta, which is how a bright-line spectrum is produced.</span>

sp2 hybrid orbitals have 1. trigonal bipyramidal symmetry. 2. linear symmetry. 3. tetrahedral symmetry. 4. trigonal planar symme
Cloud [144]

Answer:

4. trigonal planar symmetry.

Explanation:

The sp2 hybridization is formed with one s and two p atomic orbitals and form  trigonal planar symmetry. In sp2 hybridization, there are same valence shell in both the orbitals and it gives three equivalent sp2 hybridized orbitals that are separated by 120 degrees giving trigonal planar symmetry.

Hence, the correct answer is "4. trigonal planar symmetry.".
