Physics
1 answer:
lesantik [10]3 years ago
3 0

Answer: n = c / v" "c" is the speed of light in a vacuum, "v" is the speed of light in that substance and "n" is the index of refraction. According to the formula, the index of refraction is the relation between the speed of light in a vacuum and the speed of light in a substance.

Explanation: the relation is the vacuum and the speed of light in a substance.

Two loudspeakers S1 and S2, 2.20 m apart, emit the same single-frequency tone in phase at the speakers. A listener L is located
seropon [69]

Answer:

the lowest possible frequency of the emitted tone is 404.79 Hz

Explanation:

   Given the data in the question;

S₁ ←  5.50 m → L

↑

2.20 m

↓

S₂

We know that, the condition for destructive interference is;

Δr = ( 2m + \frac{1}{2} ) × λ

where m = 0, 1, 2, 3 .......

Path difference between the two sound waves from the two speakers is;

Δr = √( 5.50² + 2.20² ) - 5.50

Δr = 5.92368 - 5.50

Δr = 0.42368 m

v = f × λ

f = ( 2m + \frac{1}{2})v / Δr

m = 0, 1, 2, 3, ....

Now, for the lowest possible frequency, let m be 0

so

f = ( 0 + \frac{1}{2})v / Δr

f = \frac{1}{2}(v) / Δr

we know that speed of sound in air v = 343 m/s

so we substitute

f = \frac{1}{2}(343) / 0.42368

f = 171.5 / 0.42368

f = 404.79 Hz

Therefore, the lowest possible frequency of the emitted tone is 404.79 Hz

A Carnot engine operates between temperature levels of 600 K and 300 K. It drives a Carnot refrigerator, which provides cooling
KATRIN_1 [288]

Explanation:

Formula for maximum efficiency of a Carnot refrigerator is as follows.

      \frac{W}{Q_{H_{1}}} = \frac{T_{H_{1}} - T_{C_{1}}}{T_{H_{1}}} ..... (1)

And, formula for maximum efficiency of Carnot refrigerator is as follows.

     \frac{W}{Q_{C_{2}}} = \frac{T_{H_{2}} - T_{C_{2}}}{T_{C_{2}}} ...... (2)

Now, equating both equations (1) and (2) as follows.

 Q_{C_{2}} \frac{T_{H_{2}} - T_{C_{2}}}{T_{C_{2}}} = Q_{H_{1}} \frac{T_{H_{1}} - T_{C_{1}}}{T_{H_{1}}}        

        \gamma = \frac{Q_{C_{2}}}{Q_{H_{1}}}

                    = \frac{T_{C_{2}}}{T_{H_{1}}} (\frac{T_{H_{1}} - T_{C_{1}}}{T_{H_{2}} - T_{C_{2}}})

                    = \frac{250}{600} (\frac{(600 - 300)K}{300 K - 250 K})

                    = 2.5

Thus, we can conclude that the ratio of heat extracted by the refrigerator ("cooling load") to the heat delivered to the engine ("heating load") is 2.5.

Please help me with this question someone
Gekata [30.6K]
From the answers provided, I believe the possible answer would be the last option, silicon, oxygen, and one or more metals. Here's my reasoning: the most abundant mineral group found in the Earth's crust is the silicate group. The silicate materials contain both oxygen and silicon. Silicates are the most common minerals in the rock-formation process, and it has, in fact, been estimated that they make up 75 to 90 percent of the Earth's crust. From this piece of evidence, I can guess that the answer will possibly be D, silicon, oxygen, and one or more metals.
It should also be noted that the additional elements that combine with the silicon-oxygen tetrahedron are involved with the other elements commonly found in the Earth's crust and mantle. They are aluminum, calcium, iron, magnesium, potassium and sodium.
