Answer: the waves probably hits an open cavity

Explanation:

Sound waves transfers energy in form of vibration through water,the speed of sound is greatest in solids followed by liquids and gases,for we to observe such a reduction from 4000m/s to 1500m/s that means it sound had been transmitted through air like open cavity seen in intrusive rock beneath the earth.

Options:

a) A different kind of rock

b) An underground lake

c) An open cavity

d) A pile of dinosaur bones

Answer:

Option B. An underground lake

Explanation:

The speed of sound in water ranges from 1450 m/s to 1500 m/s. The speed of the sound wave changes because it has crosses two media of different densities. This wave is bound to have a change in direction because of change in the density and speed of the media it passes.

The 1500 m/s speed in the second medium shows that the medium is a pool of water. The only option that applies is an underground lake

We intend to observe two distant equal brightness stars whose angular separation is 50.0 × 10-7 rad. Assuming a mean wavelength
san4es73 [151]

Answer:

13.4cm

Explanation:

According to Rayleigh’s criterion the angular resolution to distinguish two objects is given by:

\theta=1.22\frac{\lambda}{b}

θ = 50.0*10^-7 rad

λ: wavelength of the light = 550nm

b = diameter of the objective

By doing b the subject of the formula and replacing the values of the angle and wavelength you obtain:

b=1.22\frac{\lambda}{\theta}=1.22\frac{550*10^{-9}m}{50.0*10^{-7}rad}=0.134m=13.4cm

hence, the smallest diameter objective lens is 13.4cm

Please who can give me the definition of density in terms of Archimedes principle.​
VladimirAG [237]

\large\bold{\underline{\underline{Answer:-}}}

  • The weight of the fluid displaced is equal to the buoyant force on a submerged object. The mass divided by the volume thus determined gives a measure of the average density of the object.
