The medium determines the speed of the wave traveling in it, which also can have a number of other effects, including how much the wave bends (refracts), whether it reflects, etc.
Because waves move through space, they must have a velocity. The velocity of a wave is a function of the type of wave, and the medium it travels through. Electromagnetic waves moving through a vacuum, for instance, travel at roughly 3 x

m/s. This value is so famous and common in physics it is given its own symbol, c.
Answer:
60N
Explanation:
in this case the minimum amount of force required must be equal to the friction Force. i.e <u>Newton</u><u>'s</u><u> </u><u>first</u><u> </u><u>law</u><u> of</u><u> </u><u>mot</u><u>ion</u><u>.</u>
therefore the maximum amount of frictional force is equal to the applied force which is 60N.
because of the net force acting on the object is zero the object is in constant motion . i.e equal and opposite force must be applied so that the object is in constant velocity therefore the total frictional force must be 60N
Answer:
1.4E-3J
Explanation:
Given that
Time = 8hrs = 28.8E3 seconds
Intensity= 90dB
D= 0.008m
Radius= 0.004m
So intensity is sound level Bis
10dBlog(I/Io)
I= 10 (B/10dB)Io
= 10( 90/10) x 10^-12
=0.001W/m²
But we know that
I = P/A
P= I πr²
= 5.02 x10^-8W
But energy is power x time
So E= 5.02E-8 x 28.8E3
= 1.4E-3J
Answer:
857.5 m
2.8583×10⁻⁶ seconds
Explanation:
Time taken by the sound of the thunder to reach the student = 2.5 s
Speed of sound in air is 343 m/s
Speed of light is 3×10⁸ m/s
Distance travelled by the sound = Time taken by the sound × Speed of sound in air
⇒Distance travelled by the sound = 2.5×343 = 857.5 m
⇒Distance travelled by the sound = 857.5 m
Time taken by light = Distance the light travelled / Speed of light
Time taken by light = 2.8583×10⁻⁶ seconds
