Answer:

c. a self-contained "packet" of electro-magnetic energy

Explanation:

Photon is a quantum of energy packet of electromagnetic radiation, it contains all the properties of electromagnetic radiation being the fundamental component of electromagnetic energy.  

It behaves like a wave when it propagates in a medium but transfers energy like a particle when collides with some other matter.

A metal container with the oil weigh
MA_775_DIABLO [31]

Answer:

16 kg

Explanation:

M - container

m - oil mass

by definition of density ,

relative density is the ratio of the density of a substance to the density of water.

relative density = density/ density of water

density of oil = 1.2*1000 kgm⁻³  = 1200 kgm⁻³

1 Litre =10⁻³ m³

oil volume = 80 *10⁻³ m³

mass of oil = density * volume

                   = 1200*80*10⁻³

                   = 96 kg

Mass of container + mass of  oil =112

mass of container = 112 - 96

                              = 16 kg

For a sound coming from a point source, the amplitude of the sound is inversely
gayaneshka [121]

Answer ) Sound level equation

The intensity of a sound wave is related to its amplitude squared by the following relationship: I=(Δp)22ρvw I = ( Δ p ) 2 2 ρ v w . Here Δp is the pressure variation or pressure amplitude (half the difference between the maximum and minimum pressure in the sound wave) in units of pascals (Pa) or N/m2.
