Answer:

c) The wavelength decreases but the frequency remains the same.

Explanation:

Light travels at different speed in different mediums.

Refractive index is equal to velocity of the light 'c' in empty space divided by the velocity 'v' in the substance.

Or ,

n = c/v.

<u>The frequency of the light does not change but the wavelength of the light changes with change in the speed.</u>

c = frequency × Wavelength

Frequency is constant,

The formula can be written as:

n = λ / λn.

Where,  

λn is the wavelength in the medium

λ is the wavelength in vacuum

<u>When the light travels to glass, it speed slows down and also the wavelength decreases as both are directly proportional. There will be no effect on frequency.</u>

A sinusoidal wave travels along a string. The time for a particular point to move from maximum displacement to zero is 0.13 s. W
vitfil [10]

Answer:

Part a)

T = 0.52 s

Part b)

f = 1.92 Hz

Part c)

speed = 3.65 m/s

Explanation:

As we know that the particle move from its maximum displacement to its mean position in t = 0.13 s

so total time period of the particle is given as

T = 4\times 0.13 = 0.52 s

now we have

Part a)

T = time to complete one oscillation

so here it will move to and fro for one complete oscillation

so T = 0.52 s

Part b)

As we know that frequency and time period related to each other as

f = \frac{1}{T}

f = \frac{1}{0.52}

f = 1.92 Hz

Part c)

As we know that

wavelength = 1.9 m

frequency = 1.92 Hz

so wave speed is given as

speed = wavelength \times frequency

speed = 1.92 \times 1.9

speed = 3.65 m/s

When the position of the mass is farthest from the equilibrium position, what is the velocity of the mass?
Llana [10]
At the most distant point, the size of the speed is zero (0 m/s). This is a direct result of preservation of vitality. PE = KE. The most distant far from the harmony position is the maximum PE. Hence it can have no KE. No KE implies no speed since KE = .5mv2

Is it possible for a gas contained in a chamber to maintain a constant temperature while heat is being added to the gas? Explain
Evgesh-ka [11]

Answer:Yes

Explanation:

Yes it is possible for a gas contained in a chamber to maintain a constant temperature while heat is being added to the gas.A process in which temperature of the gas remains constant is called Isothermal Process.For an ideal internal energy is a function of temperature therefore internal energy remains constant while all the heat added is converted to do the work done by the system.
