The answer is the last one (it needs a medium through which to travel) it is not true about radiation. A radiation is the emission of energy in the form of waves or particles through space or through a material medium. This includes; electromagnetic radiation, such as a radio wave, microwaves, visible light, x rays, and gamma radiation.
The kinetic molecular theory of matter states that:
1. Matter is made up of particles that are constantly moving.
2. A change in phase may occur when the energy of the particles is changed.
3. All particles have energy, but the energy varies depending on the temperature the sample of matter is in. This in turn determines whether the substance exists in the solid, liquid, or gaseous state.
Answer: Options (a) and (d) are the correct answer.
Explanation:
A catalyst is the substance which helps in increasing the rate of reaction.
Activation energy is the minimum amount of energy required by reactants to start the reaction. On addition of catalyst, the path of reaction changes because the energy barrier gap reduces and hence, the activation energy also decreases.
In the absence of catalyst, we need to increase the temperature so that reaction can occur quickly.
Whereas on addition of catalyst, there is no need to increase the temperature as the catalyst itself is sufficient to increase the rate of reaction. As a result, temperature should be lowered when there is addition of catalyst in the reaction.
Thus, we can conclude that catalysts can save money by essentially lowering the activation energy and temperature required.
If a wave was traveling at 15.0 m/s it would take 80 minutes
