Why do sound waves travel around corners better than light waves? Soundwaves​

Physics
1 answer:
Lesechka [4]3 years ago
8 0

Answer:

Sound waves travel at 343 m/s through the air and faster through liquids and solids. The waves transfer energy from the source of the sound, e.g. a drum, to its surroundings. Your ear detects sound waves when vibrating air particles cause your ear drum to vibrate. The bigger the vibrations the louder the sound.

Which light packs the highest energy per photon? 1. infrared 2. red 3. blue 4. ultraviolet 5. green?
WINSTONCH [101]
A single photon carries an energy equal to
E=hf
where h is the Planck's constant and f is the frequency of the photon.
This means that the higher the frequency of the light, the higher the energy. Among the 5 different options mentioned by the problem, the light with highest frequency is ultraviolet, which has frequencies in the range [3-30] PHz, while visible light (red, blue, green) and infrared have lower frequency, so ultraviolet light has the highest energy per photon.

A steel rod is pulled in tension with a stress that is less than the yield strength. The modulus of elasticity may be calculated
pshichka [43]

Answer:

B. Axial stress divided by axial strain

Explanation:

Elasticity:

It is the tendency of an object to deform along the axis when an opposing force is applied without facing permanent change in shape.

Plasticity:

When an object crosses the elasticity limit, it enters plasticity where the change due to stress is permanent and the object might even break.

Yield strength:

Yield strength is the point of maximum bearable stress that indicates the limit of elasticity.

Our case:

As the stress applied is less than the yield strength, the rod is still in the elasticity state and its modulus can be calculated.

Modulus of Elasticity = Stress along axis/Ratio of change in length to original length

Axial strain is basically the ratio of change in length to original length.

So, Modulus of Elasticity = Axial Stress/ Axial Strain

Rufina [12.5K]

Answer:

B) Depends on launch speed.

Explanation:

This is true when considering the basketball player in a given basketball game. The speed at which the player jumps up is a strong factor which determines the acceleration of his acceleration. The direct co-relation show that, speed and acceleration of the basketball player are interrelated.
