Explain how the absorption of sound waves differs from the transmission of sound waves

1 answer:

4 0

When a sound wave meets an obstacle, some of the sound is reflected back from the front surface and some of the sound passes into the obstacle material, where it is absorbed or transmitted through the material.

Reflection and absorption are dependent on the wavelength of the sound. The percentage of the sound transmitted through an obstacle depends on how much sound is reflected and how much is absorbed. We are assuming that the obstacle is relatively large, such that no sound passes around the edges.

Select the correct location on the image.<br> Identify the magnetic north pole of Earth’s magnet.

OverLord2011 [107]

The magnetic north pole of the earth's magnet is in the geographic south pole.

There are two magnetic and geographic poles each, north and south
The two geographic poles are the locations where the earth's axis of rotation passes through which is imaginary
The magnetic north and south poles are not the same as the geographic north and south poles
In a compass, the needle points to the magnetic north pole
By convention, the magnetic north pole corresponds to the geographic south pole
The magnetic south pole corresponds to the geographic north pole
The magnetic field lines of a magnet start from the magnetic north pole and end at the magnetic south pole

The magnetic north pole of the earth's magnet is the geographic south pole.

You are looking down on a N = 9 turn coil in a magnetic field B = 0.5 T which points directly down into the screen. If the diame

Novay_Z [31]

Answer:

The magnitude of the voltage is $2.27\times10^{-4}\ V$ and the direction of the current is clockwise.

Explanation:

Given that,

Number of turns = 9

Magnetic field = 0.5 T

Diameter = 3 cm

Time t = 0.14 s

We need to calculate the flux

Using formula of flux

$\phi=NAB$

Put the value into the formula

$\phi=9\times\pi\times(1.5\times10^{-2})^2\times0.5$

$\phi=0.003180$

We need to calculate the emf

Using formula of emf

$\epsilon=-\dfrac{d\phi}{dt}$

$\epsilon=-\dfrac{0.003180}{0.14}$

$\epsilon =-0.000227\ V$

$\epsilon=-2.27\times10^{-4}\ V$

Negative sign shows the direction of current.

Hence, The magnitude of the voltage is $2.27\times10^{-4}\ V$ and the direction of the current is clockwise.

Heat is applied to an ice cube in a closed container until only steam is present. draw a representation of this process, assumin

olga55 [171]

The solid, liquid and gas phases of water would have the same structure of the molecules since they are same substance. The only difference would be the distances of the molecules in the container. For a ice, the molecules are close to each other where the molecules vibrate only in place. For liquid, the molecules are freely moving and are at some distance with each other but not that far away with each other. Steam, on the other hand, would have molecules that are very far from each other and are freely moving in the whole container. As the container is heated, the size of the molecules would not change. It is only the volume that has changed. Also, the mass is the same since there is no outflow of the substances.
