Physics
1 answer:
saul85 [17]3 years ago

Sound is an example of a mechanical wave. Mechanical waves are the kinds of waves that cannot be propagated without a medium. As such, these waves cannot travel through a vacuum, just like how sound cannot travel through space, since space is a vacuum.

What is the energy of light that must be absorbed by a hydrogen atom to transition an electron from n = 3 to n = 5?
alina1380 [7]

Answer:

The energy absorbed by a hydrogen atom is 1.549 X10⁻¹⁹ J

Explanation:

Using Bohr's equation; the energy absorbed by the hydrogen atom can be calculated as follows:

\delta E = (\frac{1}{n_2{^2}} -\frac{1}{n_1^{2}})13.6eV

When an electron moves from a lower energy level to a higher energy level, energy is absorbed by the atom.

Lower energy level (n₂) = 3

Higher energy level (n₁) = 5

1 eV = 1.602X10⁻¹⁹ C

\delta E = (\frac{1}{3{^2}} -\frac{1}{5^{2}})13.6X1.602X10^{-19}

ΔE = 1.549 X10⁻¹⁹J

The energy absorbed by a hydrogen atom  to transition an electron from n = 3 to n = 5 is 1.549 X10⁻¹⁹ J

A sanding disk with rotational inertia 1.2 10-3 kg·m2 is attached to an electric drill whose motor delivers a torque of 10 N·m a
tensa zangetsu [6.8K]

Answer:

Angular momentum = 0.7 kg.m²/s

Angular velocity = 583.3 rad/s

Explanation:

1. The torque τ  is related to the angular momentum L by the relation

τ = ΔL/Δt

ΔL = τΔt

τ = 10 N. m

Δt = 70 ms = 70 × 10⁻³s

ΔL = (10 N. m) × (70 × 10⁻³s) = 700 × 10⁻³ kg.m²/s = 0.7 kg.m²/s

2. The rotational inertia I relates the angular momentum L to the angular velocity w

L = Iw

w = L/I

L =  0.7 kg.m²/s

I = 1.2 × 10⁻³ kg.m²

w = (0.7 kg.m²/s)/(1.2 × 10⁻³ kg.m²) = 583.3 rad/s

What is the sound intensity level in a car when the sound intensity is 0.525 μW/m2 ? Use I0 = 1.00×10−12 W/m2 for the reference
never [62]

Answer:

The sound intensity level in the car is 57.2 dB.

Explanation:

Sound intensity level in decibels, β = 10 log (I/I₀); where I = 0.525 × 10⁻⁶ W/m², I₀ = 1.0 × 10⁻¹² W/m²

β (dB) = 10 log ((0.525 × 10⁻⁶)/(1.0 × 10⁻¹²)) = 10 × 5.72 = 57.2 dB

Hope this Helps!!!

Dolphin echolocation is similar to ultrasound. Reflected sound waves
s344n2d4d5 [400]

Answer:

Waves with high frequencies have shorter wavelengths that work better  than low frequency waves for successful echolocation.

Explanation:

To understand why high-frequency waves work better  than low frequency waves for successful echolocation, first we have to understand the relation between frequency and wavelength.

The relation between frequency and wavelength is given by

λ = c/f

Where λ is wavelength, c is the speed of light and f is the frequency.

Since the speed of light is constant, the wavelength and frequency are inversely related.

So that means high frequency waves have shorter wavelengths, which is the very reason for the successful echolocation because waves having shorter wavelength are more likely to reach and hit the target and then reflect back to the dolphin to form an image of the object.

Thus, waves with high frequencies have shorter wavelengths that work better  than low frequency waves for successful echolocation.
