Answer:

A continuous transmission of energy from one location to the next.

Explanation:

Wave is a disturbance which continuously transmit energy from one location to another. It does not transmit any mass. There are many types of waves like mechanical wave, electromagnetic wave, gravitational waves etc.

The speed of a wave is given by :

$v=\nu \times \lambda$

$\nu$ is the frequency of wave

$\lambda$ is the wavelength of the wave

So, the correct option is (d) "a continuous transmission of energy from one location to the next".

Correct answer choice is:

D. A continuous transmission of energy from one location to the next.

Explanation:

Waves include the carrier of energy without the carrier of matter. In outcome, a wave can be characterized as a change that progresses into a medium, carrying energy from one spot (its source) to different spot without carrying matter.

Hi:) anyone able to help with part - aii the one on cooling fins ? Thankss!

The cooling find are there to keep the temperature low. They are mostly black in color, and hence, radiate heat, which is how the temperature is controlled.

A proton has been accelerated from rest through a potential difference of -1350 V. What is the proton's kinetic energy, in elect

Luba_88 [7]

Answer:

1 eV = 1.60 * 10^-19 J work done in accelerating electron thru 1 V

KE (total energy) = 1350 ^ 1 eV (note proton goes from + to -)

KE = 1.60 * 10^-19 * 1350 = 2.16 * 10^-16 Joules

1/2 m v^2 = KE = 2.16 * 10^-16 J

v^2 = 4.32 * 10E-16 / 1.67 * 10-27 = 2.59 * 10^11

v = 5.09 * 10^5 m/s

Consider a hydrogen atom in the n = 1 state. The atom is placed in a uniform B field of magnitude 2.5 T. Calculate the energy di

dlinn [17]

Answer:

$E=29\times 10^{-5}eV$

Explanation:

For n-=1 state hydrogen energy level is split into three componets in the presence of external magnetic field. The energies are,

$E^{+}=E+\mu B$ ,

$E^{-}=E-\mu B$ ,

$E^{0}=E$

Here, E is the energy in the absence of electric field.

And

$E^{+} and E^{-}$ are the highest and the lowest energies.

The difference of these energies

$\Delta E=2\mu B$

$\mu=9.3\times 10^{-24}J/T$ is known as Bohr's magneton.

B=2.5 T,

Therefore,

$\Delta E=2(9.3\times 10^{-24}J/T)\times 2.5 T\\\Delta E=46.5\times 10^{-24}J$

Now,

$Delta E=46.5\times 10^{-24}J(\frac{1eV}{1.6\times 10^{-9}J } )\\Delta E=29.05\times 10^{-5}eV\\Delta E\simeq29\times 10^{-5}eV$

Therefore, the energy difference between highest and lowest energy levels in presence of magnetic field is $E=29\times 10^{-5}eV$

Write Newton's 3rd law. How would this law relate to a rocket ship taking off from the earth? Would this law affect the rocket s

irina1246 [14]

Answer:

Part A

Newton's 3rd law states that action and reaction are equal and opposite, mathematically, we have;

$F_A$ = - $F_B$

Where;

$F_A$ = The action force

$F_B$ = The reaction force

Part B

The law indicates that the force with which a rocket ship uses in taking off from the Earth, $F_A$ is equal in magnitude, and opposite in direction to the reaction force of the Earth to the motion of the rocket, (-) $F_B$

Part C

The law is a universal law, and it will also affect the rocket ship in space, as the force of the jet from the exhaust is directed towards Earth while in space, the rocket is propelled deeper into space
