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.

Power plants can be powered by fossil fuels, such as coal or natural gas, or nuclear power to produce steam to turn turbines to

<span>Nuclear energy is cleaner while generating electricity. Nuclear fission provides energy without releasing greenhouse gases such as carbon dioxide. However, nuclear power plants generate significant amounts of radioactive waste. That is why we should not choose nuclear energy over fossil fuel power plants.</span>

A gas in a sealed container has a pressure of 50 kPa at 27°C. What will the pressure of the gas be if the temperature rises to 8

alexgriva [62]

Answer:

the final pressure of the gas is 60 kPa.

Explanation:

Given;

initial pressure of the gas, P₁ = 50 kPa = 50,000 Pa

initial temperature of the gas, T₁ = 27⁰ C = 27 + 273 = 300 k

final temperature of the gas, T₂ = 87⁰ C = 87 + 273 = 360 K

Let the final pressure of the gas = P₂

Apply pressure law;

$\frac{P_1}{T_1} = \frac{P_2}{T_2} \\\\P_2 = \frac{P_1T_2}{T_1} = \frac{50,000 \times 360}{300} = 60,000 \ Pa = 60 \ kPa$

Therefore, the final pressure of the gas is 60 kPa.
