How does diffraction enable somebody to hear your voice from anywhere in the room?

1 answer:

4 0

Diffraction means spreading out of waves that has the same wavelength as the size of the gap. Sound waves have high wavelength and so it diffracts\spreads out and enables anyone to hear your voice from anywhere outside the room.

For inside the room, the sound waves doesn't actually diffract. They collide with the air particles, causing a series of compressions and rarefactions which spreads out in the air particles and anyone can hear your voice.

Air is the medium for the sound waves to travel.

Answer: 2.2x10^4

Explanation: in a adiabatic process pV^y = constant.

So V2=3V1 and p2 = p1 / 3^1.67 = 2.2x10^4 Pa

John and Caroline go out for a walk one day. This graph represents their distance from home.

Serga [27]

Answer:

Option C is the correct answer.

Explanation:

We have velocity of a body = Change in position/ Time.

Considering first portion of graph,

Change in position = 30 - 0 = 30 m

Time = 0.75 hours = 45 minutes = 2700 seconds

Velocity = 30/2700 = 0.011 m/s

Considering second portion of graph,

Change in position = 30 - 30 = 0 m

Time = 0.5 hours = 30 minutes = 1800 seconds

Velocity = 0/1800 = 0 m/s

Considering third portion of graph,

Change in position = 0 - 30 = -30 m

Time = 0.75 hours = 45 minutes = 2700 seconds

Velocity = -30/2700 = -0.011 m/s

So firstly they walked in one direction(positive direction), then they were still(velocity is zero), then they walked in the opposite direction( velocity is negative).

Option C is the correct answer.

Keisha follows the instructions for a demonstration on gas laws.
1. Place a small marshmallow in a large plastic syringe.
2. Cap the syringe tightly.
3. Pull the plunger back to double the volume of gas in the syringe.

Now, this activity is being done at the same temperature, because there is no mention of the temperature change. Thus, when the plunger is pulled back, the volume doubles, so pressure will decrease. Therefore, </span>This is a demonstration of Boyle’s law. As the volume increases, the pressure decreases, and the marshmallow will grow larger.

Which of the following could you measure with a thermometer

irinina [24]

[:] Answer [:]

D) Temperature

You measure temperature with a thermometer. You can use it to measure you r temperature if you're sick, or you use it to measure the temperature outside. A, B, and C do not work with a thermometer. You would use a different device for those.
