In a compressional wave the denser the medium is at the compressions the smaller is amplitude?

Wellll, let me think about that ...

I don't think I'd agree that you can characterize the amplitude of
a wave according to the density at only one point in it.  After all ...
a tiny wave in steel would be much denser at a compression than
a huge wave in air would be.

The amplitude of any wave is described as the difference between
a peak and the resting value.  Or even better ... half of the difference
between a maximum and a minimum.

So if you're looking at a longitudinal wave, like sound, I'd say if you
want to describe its amplitude, then you have to look at the density
at two points ... either the difference between the compression and
the resting densities, or the difference between the greatest compression
and the greatest rarefaction. 

That's my opinion.  I could be wrong.

Describe the conditions necessary for sublimation to occur​ please help
katovenus [111]

Answer:

Sublimation occurs more readily when certain weather conditions are present, such as low relative humidity and dry winds. Sublimation also occurs more at higher altitudes, where the air pressure is less than at lower altitudes. Energy, such as strong sunlight, is also needed.

lys-0071 [83]

Answer:

g_x = 3.0 m / s^2

Explanation:

Given:

- Change in length of spring [email protected] = 22.6 cm

- Time taken for 11 oscillations t = 19.0 s

Find:

- The value of gravitational free fall g_x at plant X:

Solution:

- We will assume a simple harmonic motion of the mass for which Time is:

                                 T  = 2*pi*sqrt(k / m )    ...... 1

- Sum of forces in vertical direction @equilibrium is zero:

                                 F_net = k*x - m*g_x = 0

                                 (k / m) = (g_x / x)    .... 2

- substitute Eq 2 into Eq 1:

                                  2*pi / T = sqrt ( g_x / x )

                                   g_x = (2*pi / T )^2 * x

- Evaluate g_x:

                                  g_x = (2*pi / (19 / 11) )^2 * 0.226

                                  g_x = 3.0 m / s^2

A radio station broadcast on a frequency of 3.7 mhz what is the energy of the radio wave
Ratling [72]

A radio station broadcast on a frequency of 3.7 mhz what is the energy of the radio wave A radio station broadcasts its programmes at a wavelength of 500 m. Find the frequency of the radiowaves transmitted by the radio station, if the speed of radiowaves in air is 3 x 108 m/s. Ans: 6 x 10 Hz

<h3>What is radio station ?</h3>

Radio broadcasting is the act of sending audio (sound), occasionally together with accompanying metadata, across radio waves to radio receivers used by the general public. Unlike satellite radio, which uses a satellite in Earth's orbit, terrestrial radio broadcasting uses a land-based radio station to transmit radio waves. The listener needs a broadcast radio receiver to hear the material (radio). A radio network with which stations frequently have affiliations provide content in a standard radio format, whether through broadcast syndication, simulcasting, or both. Radio stations use a variety of modulations to transmit their signals, including FM (frequency modulation), which is an older analog audio standard, and AM (amplitude modulation).
