Answer:
They bounce off.
Explanation:
They change into S-waves. They change into R-waves.
Answer: The final temperature of both substances at thermal equilibrium is 301.0 K
Explanation:

As we know that,

.................(1)
where,
q = heat absorbed or released
= mass of gold = 31.5 g
= mass of water = 63.4 g
= final temperature = ?
= temperature of gold = 
= temperature of water = 
= specific heat of gold = 
= specific heat of water= 
Now put all the given values in equation (1), we get
![-31.5\times 0.129\times (T_{final}-342.4)=[63.4\times 4.184\times (T_{final}-300.4)]](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=-31.5%5Ctimes%200.129%5Ctimes%20%28T_%7Bfinal%7D-342.4%29%3D%5B63.4%5Ctimes%204.184%5Ctimes%20%28T_%7Bfinal%7D-300.4%29%5D)

The final temperature of both substances at thermal equilibrium is 301.0 K
