Your boss asks you to design a room that can be as soundproof as possible and provides you with three samples of material. The o

nly information on each sample's label is the material's coefficient of absorption. The coefficient of absorption listed on Sample A is 30%, on Sample B is 47%, and on Sample C is 62%. When your boss asks for your choice and the reasoning behind it, what would you tell him?
A. Sample C would be best, because the percentage of the energy in an incident wave that remains in a reflected wave from this material is the largest.
B. Sample A would be best, because the percentage of the energy in an incident wave that remains in a reflected wave from this material is the largest.
C. Sample C would be best, because the percentage of the energy in an incident wave that remains in a reflected wave from this material is the smallest.
D. Sample A would be best, because the percentage of the energy in an incident wave that remains in a reflected wave from this material is the smallest.

<span>C. Sample C would be best, because the percentage of the energy
in an incident wave that remains in a reflected wave from this material
is the smallest.

The coefficient of absorption is the percentage of incident sound
that's absorbed.  So the highest coefficient of absorption results in
the smallest </span><span>percentage of the energy in an incident wave that remains.
That's what you want. </span>

What assumption can be made about the densities of two different spheres that have
Triss [41]

Answer:

Their densities are different as well

Explanation:

Density is worked out by dividing mass by volume. If the mass was the same then the densities would be as well. But it's not.

Describe how humans’ actions and natural processes have modified coastal regions in Louisiana and other locations
il63 [147K]
Coastal erosion has depleted a large portion of South Louisiana's wetlands along the coastline in swamps and marshes mainly due to storm surges. But other factors also contributed to this erosion. Canals and waterways dug through the marshes and swamps for the oil industry is one factor. Man-made levees erected to provide protection to residents living adjacent to the river is another major cause. Large scale logging especially in the early 1900's also damaged the wetlands.
