Answer:

Diffraction

Explanation:

Diffraction is the key explanation why we can hear sounds around corners but not see them. As compared to light waves, sound waves have much longer wavelengths, making diffraction effects much more visible. When the size of the object that the wave is diffracting around is about the same as the wavelength of the wave, diffraction effects become very visible.

Sound has a wavelength of 1 m, while light has a wavelength of 0.1 micro m. Reflection is a secondary reason. Sound waves bounce off walls in a specular way, allowing them to bounce around corners, but light bounces off walls in a diffuse manner.

hope this helps :)

Imagine you are an engineer who needs to test a scale model of a
FinnZ [79.3K]

Answer:

The problem will be because:

  • <u>The error in the construction of the bridge will be actually 40 cm</u>.

Explanation:

When you, as an engineer, listen about a scale 1/20, it means that for each 1 cm in the model, it will be 20 cm in the real footbridge (20 times upper to the scale model), then how the error in the model is 2 cm, the real error is 40 cm, in this case, imagine that you didn't know that the bridge will have an error of 40 cm, which is approximately 1,31 ft, <em><u>from a side of the bridge you begin with the correct measure, and the other side you use the measure with the error of the 40 cm, the result is that when you going to finish the bridge in the center, this won't match, making more expenses to correct that big error</u></em>.

Which of these is NOT an example of a pure substance? A a tablet of the element known as calcium
11111nata11111 [884]

Answer:

a glass of muddy water

Explanation:

Pure substances contain only one element or compound.

Calcium is one element so it is a pure substance. Ice and water have the same molecular structure, so it is a pure substance. Aluminum oxide is a chemically pure compound.

The only example that is not a pure substance is muddy water due to the multiple components of mud mixing with the components of water.

Hope that helps.
