How is light described?

Physics
1 answer:
Lelu [443]3 years ago
5 0

Light as a wave: Light can be described (modeled) as an electromagnetic wave. ... This changing magnetic field then creates a changing electric field and BOOM - you have light. Unlike many other waves (sound, water waves, waves in a football stadium), light does not need a medium to “wave” in.

HELP PLS<br> In the context of climate change, is “positive feedback” a good thing?
Alona [7]
Climate feedbacks: processes that can either amplify or diminish the effects of climate forcings. A feedback that increases an initial warming is called a "positive feedback." A feedback that reduces an initial warming is a "negative feedback." So I guess it is ?

Air expands isentropically from 2.2 MPa and 77°C to 0.4 MPa. Calculate the ratio of the initial to the final speed of sound.
djyliett [7]

Answer:

The ratio of initial to final speed of sound is given as 1.28.

Explanation:

As per the thermodynamic relation of isentropic expansion

\frac{T_2}{T_1}=(\frac{P_2}{P_1})^{\frac{k-1}{k}}

Here

  • P_1 is the pressure at point 1 which is given as 2.2 MPa
  • T_1 is the temperature at point 1 which is given as 77 °C  or 273+77=350K
  • P_2 is the pressure at point 1 which is given as 0.4 MPa
  • T_2 is the temperature at point 2 which is to be calculated
  • k is the ratio of specific heats given as 1.4

Substituting values in the equation

                                      \frac{T_2}{350}=(\frac{0.4}{2.2})^{\frac{1.4-1}{1.4}}\\\frac{T_2}{350}=(0.18)^{0.2857}\\T_2=(0.18)^{0.2857} \times 350 \\T_2=0.61266 \times 350\\T_2=214.43 K

As speed of sound c is given as

c=\sqrt{kRT}

for initial to final values it is given as

\frac{c_i}{c_f}=\frac{\sqrt{k_1R_1T_1}}{\sqrt{k_2R_2T_2}}

As values of k and R is constant so the ratio is given as

\frac{c_i}{c_f}=\sqrt{\frac{T_1}{T_2}}

Substituting values give

\frac{c_i}{c_f}=\sqrt{\frac{350}{214.43}}\\\frac{c_i}{c_f}=\sqrt{1.63}}\\\frac{c_i}{c_f}=1.277  \approx 1.28

So the ratio of initial to final speed of sound is 1.28.

Suppose a vacuum cleaner uses 120 J of electrical energy is 45 J are used to pull air into the vacuum cleaner how efficient is t
Airida [17]
Very efficient because it uses less then half to do the action then the vacuum actually stores.
