In what sense is the wave motion of a guitar string analogous to the motion of an electron in an atom?

Explanation:

A guitar string vibrates when we strikes it. It starts vibrating in several modes simultaneously. It stretches between the saddle and the nut. This distance represents one-half wavelength.

Now if we consider that the string forms a circle, then we have an interpretation of an electron which vibrates in the orbit surrounding the nucleus. We are aware that electrons have wavelength. If the circumference of the orbit happens to be the integer multiple of wavelength , then the orbit is "allowed" since "the electron will retraces its own path."

This explains the line spectrum and not a continuous spectrum.

A line spectrum refers an electron that jumps between the specific energy levels, thus producing only specific colors.

Calculate the specific heat of a substance if a 35g sample absorbs 48 j as the temperature is raised from 293 k to 313 k
bulgar [2K]

Answer:

c = 0.07 j/g.k

Explanation:

Given data:

Mass of sample = 35 g

Heat absorbed = 48 j

Initial temperature = 293 K

Final temperature = 313 K

Specific heat of substance = ?

Solution:

Specific heat capacity:

It is the amount of heat required to raise the temperature of one gram of substance by one degree.

Formula:

Q = m.c. ΔT

Q = amount of heat absorbed or released

m = mass of given substance

c = specific heat capacity of substance

ΔT = change in temperature

ΔT = Final temperature - initial temperature

ΔT = 313 k - 293 K

ΔT = 20 k

Now we will put the values in formula.

48 j = 35 g × c× 20 k

48 j = 700 g.k ×c

c = 48 j/700 g.k

c = 0.07 j/g.k

All solutions<br>are mixtures; but<br>all mixtures are<br>not solutions.<br>why?​
aleksklad [387]

All solutions are mixtures of two or more substances, but unless the mixture has a homogeneous distribution of solutes in the solvent, then the mixture is not a solution. Therefore, all mixtures are not solutions.

7) Explain how tsunamis are formed. How do tsunamis change the surface of the Earth?
antiseptic1488 [7]
A tsunami is a series of waves generated in an ocean or other body of water by a disturbance such as an earthquake, landslide, volcanic eruption, or meteorite impact. The picture at the left shows how an earthquake can generate a tsunami in the overlying water.

By washing away large surfaces of land and depositing it in a different area. Also does damage to structures and deposits salt into the soil.
