Answer:

We see objects in a dark room due to the emission of light photons which are sensitive to our eyes. Darkness is simply a terminology used to describe the absence of light. Visible light to human is a component of the electromagnetic spectrum. Our eyes have receptors that picks the photons which light releases

You are investigating the report of a UFO landing in an isolated portion of New Mexico, and encounter a strange object that is r

SIZIF [17.4K]

Answer: 5 m

Explanation:

We have the following data:

$I_{1}=0.11 W/m^{2}$ is the intensity of the sound at 7.5 m from the source

$r_{1}=7.5 m$ is the distance at which the intensity $I_{1}$ was measured

$I_{2}=1 W/m^{2}$ is the intensity of the sound at $r_{2}$ from the source

We have to find $r_{2}$

Since the object is radiating the signal uniformly in all directions, we can use the <u>Inverse Square Law for Intensity:</u>

$\frac{I_{1}}{I_{2}}=\frac{r_{2}^{2}}{r_{1}^{2}}$

Isolating $r_{2}$ :

$r_{2}=r_{1}\sqrt{\frac{I_{1}}{I_{2}}}$

$r_{2}=7.5 m\sqrt{\frac{0.11 W/m^{2}}{1 W/m^{2}}}$

$r_{2}=2.48 m$ This is the distance at which the intensity is the "threshold of pain"

Now, we have to substract this value to $r_{1}$ to find how much closer to the source can we move:

$r_{1}-r_{2}=7.5 m - 2.48 m=5.02 m \approx 5 m$

Answer:night

Explanation:At night , the air is denser due to humidity (obviously nights are cooler). sound requires medium to travel and so DENSER the medium,FASTER the sound travels. Humid air is denser than warmer air as in day.
