Answer:

c. Joints allow the roadway to expand and contract as cars put force on the bridge

Explanation:

The reasons why joints are allowed on roadway is to accommodate the contraction and expansion of the road as cars put force on them.

Most materials used in making roadways are susceptible to expansion and contraction.
When a measure of force is applied their length either increases or decreases depending on the type of force.
To accommodate these changes, joints are placed in roadways

By what factor must the amplitude of a sound wave be increased in order to increase the intensity by a factor of 9?a. 9 b. 2 c.

Marta_Voda [28]

Answer:

option D

Explanation:

given,

$intensity\ \alpha \ (Amplitude)^2$

increase the intensity by factor of 9

I₁ = I₀

I₂ = 9 I₀

now,

$\dfrac{I_1}{I_2}=\dfrac{A_1^2}{A_2^2}$

$\dfrac{I_0}{9I_0}=(\dfrac{A_1}{A_2})^2$

$(\dfrac{A_1}{A_2})^2=\dfrac{1}{9}$

$\dfrac{A_1}{A_2}=\dfrac{1}{3}$

A₂ = 3 A₁

hence, amplitude increase with the factor of 3

so, the correct answer is option D

Monochromatic light with wavelength 588 nm is incident on a slit with width 0.0351 mm. The distance from the slit to a screen is

Norma-Jean [14]

Answer:

Explanation:

A. Using

Sinစ= y/ L = 0.013/2.7= 0.00481

စ=0.28°

B.here we use

Alpha= πsinစa/lambda

= π x (0.0351)sin(0.28)/588E-9m

= 9.1*10^-2rad

C.we use

I(စ)/Im= (sin alpha/alpha) ²

{= (sin0.091/0.091)²

= 3*10^-4
