<h3><u>Answer;</u></h3>

The frequency stays the same and the wavelength increases.

<h3><u>Explanation;</u></h3>
  • <em><u>Sound waves are a type of mechanical wave which requires a material medium for transmission. The transmission of such waves occurs as a result of vibration of particles in the material medium. The faster the vibration of the particles the higher the speed of the sound waves.</u></em>
  • <em><u>When a sound enters a new medium where the sound travels faster, it means the vibration of particles is high, and the wavelength of the waves increases which means the speed of the wave has increased. The frequency on the other hand will remain constant.</u></em>

The frequency doesn't change. If the wavespeed increases, then the wavelength must also increase ... It's just the distance the wave travels during each complete wiggle.

iVinArrow [24]
If you want to change the thermos into an open energy system, you have to remove the lid. Once the lid is removed, the energy is no longer contained inside the thermos bottle. From the bottle, the energy dissipates to the environment.

Suppose that a person riding on the top of a freight car shines a searchlight beam in the direction in which the train is travel
Snezhnost [94]

Answer:

same

Explanation:

Acc. to Einstien's postulate of special theory of

Relativity , Velocity of the light beam is same in all frames of references

(a) If the freight car is at rest

The frame we can assumed as Non - inertial frame  of reference s

In the inertial frame of reference , velocity  of the light beam  has its own value as : 3 x 10^8 m/s

(b) If the freight car is moving , the frame we can assumed as  Non -inertial frame of reference    

In thus case also , The velocity of the light beam  will also have  the same value as ; 3 x 108 m/s

Photons of wavelength 65.0 pm are Compton-scattered from a free electron which picks up a kinetic energy of 0.84 keV from the co
ElenaW [278]

Answer:

λ  = 65.6 pm

Explanation:

Given that

λo = 65 pm

The initial energy of the electron

E_o=\dfrac{hC}{\lambda_0 }

Now by putting the values

E_o=\dfrac{hC}{\lambda_0 }

E_o=\dfrac{6.67\times 10^{-34}\times 3\times 10^8}{65\times 10^{-12}}

E_o=3.05\times 10^{-15}\ J

E_o=\dfrac{3.05\times 10^{-15}}{1.6\times 10^{-19}\times 10^3}\ KeV

Eo=19.06 KeV

Given that kinetic energy KE= 0.84 KeV

Therefore the final energy

E= Eo - KE

E = 19.06 - 0.84 KeV

E= 18.22 KeV

The wavelength  λ can be find as

E=\dfrac{hC}{\lambda}

\lambda=\dfrac{hC}{E}

\lambda=\dfrac{6.67\times 10^{-34}\times 3\times 10^8}{19.06 \times 10^3\times 1.6\times 10^{-19}}

λ = 6.56 x 10⁻¹¹ m

λ  = 65.6 pm

Is it possible for an object to be going 100 miles per hour but have a velocity of zero?
Lesechka [4]
It is possible for on object to be going at 100 miles per hour, but still have a velocity. This is because the object going at 100 miles per hour has speed, which is a scalar quantity, which is defined by only magnitude, but the velocity of the object can be 0, since velocity is a vector quantity which is defined by both magnitude and direction.

Since this object only has magnitude and no direction (which is not given), then the velocity can be 0
