Answer:

Any scientific investigation in its simplest form involves collecting information, while a controlled experiment is a tightly controlled investigation that tests a hypothesis.

Explanation:

All the scientific investigations start with a particular question. The question decides what type of investigation should research take. A controlled experiment is an investigation which allows a particular variable to change and all other variable controlled to remain constant to see the effect on dependent variable to test a particular hypothesis while other types of investigations are used to increase the knowledge or information about the particular research subject.

Consider the following three statements: For any electromagnetic radiation, the product of the wavelength and the frequency is a

boyakko [2]

Answer:

The correct answer is B. Statements (i) and (ii) are true.

Explanation:

Fisrt statement:

Electromagnetic radiation such as wave, wavelength λ and oscillation frequency ν are related by a constant, the speed of light. The equation is given by:

$c= \lambda \nu$

So the first statement is true.

Second statement:

$c=\lambda \nu\\c= 3.0 A \times 1.0\times 10^{18} Hz\\c= 3.0\times 10^{-10} m \times 1.0\times 10^{18} s^{-1}\\c=3\times 10^8 \frac{m}{s}$

The value of c in the vacuum is 3×10⁸ m/s. Hence, the second statement is true.

Third statement:

The speed of any electromagnetic radiation is constant regardless the type of radiation.

Hence, the third statement is false.

What is the intensity of a sound with a measured intensity level of 84 db? (i0 = 10-12 w/m2)?

Ivahew [28]

The unit measurement for sound can be expressed in terms of intensity and in decibels. The intensity of sound is the measure of its power over unit area. The common unit of measurement is in decibels. This is commonly used in measuring the extent of noise. The conversion from intensity to the decibel unit is through logarithmic function. The formula is:

dB = 10 log(I/I0), where I0 is 10^-12 Watts per square meter

Substituting the values to the equation,

84 = 10log(I/10^-12)
I = 0.0002512 W/m2

In scientific notation the intensity is 2.512 x 10^-4 W/m^2.
