Answer:

C. a disturbance that travels through a medium with a transfer of energy and without a transfer of matter

Explanation:

A wave is any disturbance that transfers energy from one location to the other via a substance called medium. It is important to note that a wave only conveys energy and not matter. For example, sound wave is a type of wave that carries sound energy from one place to another via mediums such as water, air etc.

Hence, according to this question, a wave can be described as a disturbance that travels through a medium with a transfer of energy and WITHOUT A TRANSFER OF MATTER.

In the nuclear fission process mass is converted into energy. Determine the total mass that must be converted to energy in one y

brilliants [131]

Answer:

1) Mass that needs to be converted at 100% efficiency is 0.3504 kg

2) Mass that needs to be converted at 30% efficiency is 1.168 kg

Explanation:

By the principle of mass energy equivalence we have

$E=mc^{2}$

where,

'E' is the energy produced

'm' is the mass consumed

'c' is the velocity of light in free space

Now the energy produced by the reactor in 1 year equals

$Energy=Power\times time\\\\\therefore Energy=1\times 10^{9}\times 365\times 24\times 3600\\\\Energy=31.536\times 10^{15}Joules$

Thus the mass that is covertred at 100% efficiency is

$mass=\frac{Energy}{c^{2}}\\\\mass=\frac{31.536\times 10^{15}}{(3\times 10^{8})^{2}}\\\\mass=\frac{31.536\times 10^{15}}{9\times 10^{16}}\\\\\therefore mass=0.3504kg$

Part 2)

At 30% efficiency the mass converted equals

$mass|_{30}=\frac{mass|_{100}}{0.3}\\\\mass|_{30}=\frac{0.3504}{0.3}\\\\mass|_{30}=1.168kg$
