A person is lying on a diving board 2.00 m above the surface of the water in a swimming pool. She looks at a penny that is on th

e bottom of the pool directly below her. To her, the penny appears to be a distance of 8.00 m from her.
Required:
What is the depth of the water at this point?

Answer:

7.98 m

Explanation:

In the given question,

distance above surface= 2 m

Distance penny from person = 8 m

Since the swimming pool is filled with water and atmosphere has air therefore the refractive index phenomenon will occur.

The refractive index of water: air is 4/3 (1.33).

Using the formula, 4/3 = real depth, apparent depth

real depth= 4/3 x apparent depth

Now, calculating apparent depth = 8 - 2

= 6 m

therefore, real depth =  4/3 x apparent depth

= 1.33 x 6

= 7.98

thus, 7.98 m is the real depth of water.

Raising the temperature of a gas will increase its pressure to<br> volume of the gas would do what
joja [24]

Answer: Boyle found that when the pressure of a gas at a constant temperature is increased, the volume of the gas decreases. When the pressure of a gas is decreased, the volume increases. This relationship between pressure and volume it's called Boyle's law.

Explanation: In the 1600s, Boyle measured the volumes of gases at different pressures. Boyle found that when the pressure of a gas at a constant temperature is increased, the volume of the gas decreases. When the pressure of a gas is decreased, the volume increases. This relationship between pressure and volume it's called Boyle's law.

Which of the following statements is accurate?
cupoosta [38]

Answer: A and B

Explanation:

A

The wavelength of both transverse and longitudinal waves is measured parallel to the direction of the travel of the wave.

Because wavelength is the distance between the two successful crest or trough.

B) 

Amplitude of longitudinal waves is measured at right angles to the direction of the travel of the wave and represents the maximum distance the molecule has moved from its normal position.

Because amplitude is the measure of maximum displacement from the original position

If the distance to a point source of sound is doubled, by what multiplicative factor does the intensity change?
alina1380 [7]

If the distance to a point source of sound is doubled, by a multiplicative factor of 4, the intensity changes.

Intensity of sound is the sound which is perpendicular to sound wave propogation per unit area. It is dependent on the Surface of source sound.

Intensity is the Power per unit area. Its SI unit is Watt/m².

As we move away from a source of sound, the sound starts to diminish. This is due to the decreasing sound intensity with distance.

It can also be understood by the fact that on increasing distance, the Power radiated by the source spreads over a larger area. Hence, the Intensity decreases gradually.

Since, Intensity is proportional to the square of the distance.

Hence, on doubling the distance, Intensity reduces to one fourth of the initial intensity or reduces by a multiplicative factor of 4.
