Answer:

D) Sound waves carry energy parallel to the motion of the wave, while light waves carry energy perpendicular to it.

Explanation:

A) This is incorrect because Light waves do not need a medium to pass through it while Sound waves need a medium to pass through it.

B) This is incorrect as explained above.

C) This is incorrect because Light waves do not carry energy parallel to the motion of the wave.

Light waves are transverse waves, as so they carry energy perpendicular to the motion of the wave while Sound waves are longitudinal waves and so, they carry energy parallel to the motion of the wave.

D) This is correct because Sound waves carry energy parallel to the motion of the wave.

Sound waves are transverse waves, as so they carry energy parallel to the motion of the wave while Light waves are longitudinal, as so they carry energy perpendicular to the motion of the wave.

When the hydrogen atom makes the transition from the n=2 to the n=1 energy level, it emits a photon. This photon can be absorbed
bazaltina [42]

Answer:

n_{fn}= 4

Explanation:

To solve this exercise we will use Bohr's atomic model

               E_{n} = - 13.606 / n²     [eV]

The transition from level n = 2 to level n = 1 is valid

               E_{21} = - 13.606 [¼ -1/1]

               E_{21} = 10.2045 eV

Bohr's model for atoms with only one electron is

               E_{n} = -13.606 Z² / n²

Where Z is the atomic number of the atom.

In this case the helium atom has an atomic number of Z = 2 from the level n₀ = 2 let's look up to what level it reaches

         ΔE = -13.606 [4 /  n_{fn}² - 4/4]

         4 / n_{fn}² = -ΔE / 13.606 + 1

         4 / n_{fn}² = -10.2045 / 13.606 +1 = -0.75 +1

         4 / n_{fn}² = 0.25

        n_{fn} = √ 4 / 0.25

        n_{fn}= 4

What might happen if water molecules did not have a slight negative charge on one end and a slight positive charge on the other?
Katena32 [7]

Answer:

It would not be possible the cohesion among water molecules by the polar covalent bonding.

Well, to understand this in a better way, let's begin by explaining that water is special due to its properties, which makes this fluid useful for many purposes and for the existence of life.

In this sense, one of the main properties of water is cohesion (molecular cohesion), which is the attraction of molecules to others of the same type. So, water molecule (H_{2}O) has 2 hydrogen atoms attached to 1 oxygen atom and can  stick to itself through hydrogen bonds.

How is this possible?

By the polar covalent bonding, a process in which electrons are shared unequally between atoms, due to the unequal distribution of electrons between atoms of different elements. In other words: slightly positive and slightly negative charges appear in different parts of the molecule.  

Now, it can be said that a water molecule has a negative side (oxygen) and a positive side (hydrogen).  This is how the oxygen atom tends to monopolize more electrons and keeps them away from hydrogen. Thanks to this polarity, water molecules can stick together.

HELP!!!

We shall consider two properties:
1. Temperature difference
2. Thermal conductivity of the material

Use a cylindrical rod of a given material (say steel) which is insulated around its circumference.

One end of the rod is dipped in a large reservoir of water at 100 deg.C and the other end is dipped in water (with known volume) at 40 deg. C. The cold water if stored in a cylinder which is insulated on all sides. A thermometer reads the temperature of the cold water as a function of time.

This experiment will show that
(a) heat flows from a region of high temperature to a region of lower temperature.
(b) The thermal energy of a body increases when heat is added to it, and its temperature will rise.
(c) The thermal conductivity of water determines how quickly its temperature will rise. If mercury replaces water in the cold cylinder, its temperature will rise at a different rate because its thermal conductivity is different.

Where in the motion is the magnitude of the force from the spring on the object zero? Where in the motion is the magnitude of th
kkurt [141]

<em></em>

Answer:

1. The magnitude of the force from the spring on the object is zero on <em>Equilibrium.</em>

2. The magnitude of the force from the spring on the object is a maximum on <em>The top and bottom.</em>

3. The magnitude of the net force on the object is zero on <em>The Bottom.</em>

4. The magnitude of the force on the object is a maximum on <em>the Top.</em>

Explanation:

<em>1. Because the change in position delta X is zero.</em>

<em>2. Because of delta X.</em>

<em>3. Beacuse, the force of gravity and the force of the spring oppose each other to keep the block at rest, away from the equilibrium position.</em>

<em>4. Because, the force of the spring from compressiom and the force of gravity both act on the mass.</em>
