Answer:

3 times option (d) is correct

Explanation:

Initial intensity = Io

final intensity = 9 Io

initial amplitude = A

Final amplitude = ?

let the final amplitude is A'.

Intensity of a wave is directly proportional to the square of the amplitude of the wave.

I ∝ A²

So, Io ∝ A²   ... (1)

9Io ∝ A'²     .... (2)

Divide (2) by (1)

9 = A'²/A²

A' = 3 A

So, the amplitude becomes 3 times.

Answer:

option D

Explanation:

given,

intensity\ \alpha \ (Amplitude)^2

increase the intensity by factor of 9

    I₁ = I₀

    I₂ = 9 I₀

now,

\dfrac{I_1}{I_2}=\dfrac{A_1^2}{A_2^2}

\dfrac{I_0}{9I_0}=(\dfrac{A_1}{A_2})^2

(\dfrac{A_1}{A_2})^2=\dfrac{1}{9}

\dfrac{A_1}{A_2}=\dfrac{1}{3}

      A₂ = 3 A₁

hence, amplitude increase with the factor of 3

so, the correct answer is option D

A dielectric material such as paper is inserted between the plates of a capacitor as the capacitor holds a fixed charge on its p
Vikki [24]

Answer:

Introducing a dielectric into a capacitor decreases the electric field, which decreases the voltage, which increases the capacitance.

Explanation:

A dielectric (or dielectric material) is an electrical insulator that can be polarized by an applied electric field. When a dielectric material is placed in an electric field, electric charges do not flow through the material as they do in an electrical conductor but only slightly shift from their average equilibrium positions causing dielectric polarization

A wave takes 0.5 seconds to complete one cycle. Which characteristic of the wave does this description represent? A. period B. w
trasher [3.6K]

Answer:

period

Explanation:

A wave takes 0.5 seconds to complete one cycle. It is called the time period of the wave. It is the time taken by the wave to complete one cycle.

The relation between the time period and the frequency is given by :

T = 1/f

Where

f is frequency of the wave

Hence, the correct option is (a) "period".
