<h2>The correct option is (A)</h2>

Explanation:

Travels faster in solids because the particles are closer together.

The reason for the above statement is -

(i) Sound waves travel through the medium (solid, Liquid, and gas), more denser is the medium more is the speed of sound.

(ii) In solid, the particles are arranged very closely and tightly packed therefore the sound waves in solid have the fastest speed or travels fastest in comparison to liquid and gas.

(iii) Slower than solid is the travel of sound waves in liquid than in gas(least dense, particles are far apart.

Explain retrograde motion and why it confused early astronomers as they viewed the motion of objects in the sky.
Masteriza [31]

Answer:

Explanation:

Retrograde motion in astronomy is, in general, orbital or rotational motion of an object in the direction opposite the rotation of its primary, that is, the central object (right figure). It may also describe other motions such as precession or nutation of an object's rotational axis. Prograde or direct motion is more normal motion in the same direction as the primary rotates. However, "retrograde" and "prograde" can also refer to an object other than the primary if so described. The direction of rotation is determined by an inertial frame of reference, such as distant fixed stars.

Approximating the eye as a single thin lens 2.70 cm from the retina, find the focal length of the eye when it is focused on an o
Daniel [21]

The focal length will be = 2.67 cm

The distance between the convex lens or a concave mirror and the focal point of a lens or mirror is called the focal length. It is the point where parallel rays of light meet or converge.

given

u (object distance) = 260 cm

v (image distance) = 2.70 cm

f (focal length) = ?

using lens formula

1/f = 1/u + 1/v

    = 1/260 + 1/2.70

    = 2.67 cm

The focal length will be = 2.67 cm
