The answer is Reflection

This property of a wave is reflection.
Reflection of a wave is the process by which waves such as light, sound , infrared, or radio waves, hits and object and bounces off it. It is the change in direction of a wave front at an interface between two different media so that the wavelength returns into the medium of origin. From the law of reflection for a specular reflection the angle at which the wave is incident on the surface is equal to the angle at which it is reflected.

Helium gas is compressed by an adiabatic compressor from an initial state of 14 psia and 50°F to a final temperature of 320°F in

iVinArrow [24]

Answer:

The value is $P_2 = 40.54 \ psla$

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

The initial pressure is $P_1 = 14\ psla$

The initial temperature is $T_1 = 50 \ F = (50 - 32) * [\frac{5}{9} ] + 273 = 283 \ K$

The final temperature is $T_2 = 320 \ F = (320 - 32) * [\frac{5}{9} ] + 273 =433 \ K$

Generally the equation for adiabatic process is mathematically represented as

$PT^{\frac{\gamma}{1- \gamma} } = Constant$

=> $P_1T_1^{\frac{\gamma}{1- \gamma} } = P_2T_2^{\frac{\gamma}{1- \gamma} }$

Generally for a monoatomic gas $\gamma = \frac{5}{3}$

$14 * 283^{\frac{\frac{5}{3} }{1- [\frac{5}{3} ]} } =P_2 * 433^{\frac{\frac{5}{3} }{1- [\frac{5}{3} ]} }$

=> $14 * 283^{-2.5} =P_2 * 433^{-2.5}$

=> $P_2 = 40.54 \ psla$

Why transparent object don't form a shadow

Pani-rosa [81]

Explanation:

Transparent objects do not form shadows. The light passes completely from the transparent objects thus these objects will not form shadow. ... In such objects, the light gets refracted thus, such objects forms shadow. The refraction is also the reason why we can see such objects.

3.00 textbook rests on a frictionless, horizontal tabletop surface. A cord attached to the book passes over a pulley whose diame

sammy [17]

Answer:

a1 = 3.56 m/s²

Explanation:

We are given;

Mass of book on horizontal surface; m1 = 3 kg

Mass of hanging book; m2 = 4 kg

Diameter of pulley; D = 0.15 m

Radius of pulley; r = D/2 = 0.15/2 = 0.075 m

Change in displacement; Δx = Δy = 1 m

Time; t = 0.75

I've drawn a free body diagram to depict this question.

Since we want to find the tension of the cord on 3.00 kg book, it means we are looking for T1 as depicted in the FBD attached. T1 is calculated from taking moments about the x-axis to give;

ΣF_x = T1 = m1 × a1

a1 is acceleration and can be calculated from Newton's 2nd equation of motion.

s = ut + ½at²

our s is now Δx and a1 is a.

Thus;

Δx = ut + ½a1(t²)

u is initial velocity and equal to zero because the 3 kg book was at rest initially.

Thus, plugging in the relevant values;

1 = 0 + ½a1(0.75²)

Multiply through by 2;

2 = 0.75²a1

a1 = 2/0.75²

a1 = 3.56 m/s²

Need help ASAP

VARVARA [1.3K]

Answer:

the correct one is D,

Ultraviolet, x-ray, gamma ray

Explanation:

Electromagnetism radiation are waves of energy that is expressed by the Planck relationship

E = h f

where h is the plank constant and f the frequency of the radiation.

Also the speed of light is

c = λ f

we substitute

E = h c /λ

therefore to damage the cells of the body radiation of appreciable energy is needed

microwave radiation has an energy of 10⁻⁵ eV

infrared radiation E = 10⁻² eV

visible radiation E = 1 to 3 eV

radiation Uv E = 3 to 6 eV

X-ray E = 10 eV

gamma rays E = 10 5 eV

therefore we see that the high energy radiation is gamma rays, x-rays and ultraviolet light.

When checking the answers, the correct one is D
