What of a wave is a measure of the energy it carries

Physics
1 answer:
horsena [70]3 years ago
8 0


The amplitude of a wave is a measure of the energy it carries. The amplitude of a wave is the distance between the midline of a wave and its crest or trough.

Amplitude measures the amount of energy  being transported by a wave. The larger the amplitude, the more the energy that a wave has.

Wave such as water waves have energy. Smaller waves have less energy because they have a smaller amplitude. Tsunamis have very high amplitudes and thus have a huge amount of energy

A copper rod of cross-sectional area 11.6 cm2 has one end immersed in boiling water and the other in an ice-water mixture, which
julia-pushkina [17]

Answer:

0.686 g of ice melts each second.

Solution:

As per the question:

Cross-sectional Area of the Copper Rod, A = 11.6\ cm^{2} = 11.6\times 10^{- 4}\ m^{2}

Length of the rod, L = 19.6 cm = 0.196 m

Thermal conductivity of Copper, K = 390\ W/m.^{\circ}C

Conduction of heat from the rod per second is given by:

q = \frac{KA\Delta T}{L}

where

\Delta T = 100^{\circ} - 0^{\circ} = 100^{\circ}C = temperature difference between the two ends of the rod.

Thus

q = \frac{390\times 11.6\times 10^{- 4}\times 100}{0.196} = 228.48\ J/s

Now,

To calculate the mass, M of the ice melted per sec:

M = \frac{q}{L_{w}}

where

L_{w} = Latent heat of fusion of water = 333 kJ/kg

M = \frac{228.48}{333\times 10^{3}} = 6.86\times 10^{- 4}\ kg = 0.686\ g
