Answer:

Compressions

Explanation:

A longitudinal wave is a wave in which the direction of propagation of the wave and the direction of the displacement of the particles of the wave are parallel.

As the wave propagates, the particles do not move, but, oscillate back and forth about their equilibrium position, and there are thus regions of high pressure called compressions and regions of low pressure called rarefactions.

The amplitude is thus the distance between successive compressions.

A line of charge starts at x = +x0 and extends to positive infinity. The linear charge density is λ = λ0x0/x. Determine the elec

kari74 [83]

Explanation:

it is given that, the linear charge density of a charge, $\lambda=\dfrac{\lambda_ox_o}{x}$

Firstly, we can define the electric field for a small element and then integrate for the whole. The very small electric field is given by :

$dE=\dfrac{k\ dq}{x^2}$ ..........(1)

The linear charge density is given by :

$\lambda=\dfrac{dq}{dx}$

$dq=\lambda.dx=\dfrac{\lambda_ox_o}{x}dx$

Integrating equation (1) from x = x₀ to x = infinity

$E=\int\limits^\infty_{x_o} {\dfrac{k\lambda_ox_o}{x^3}}.dx$

$E=-\dfrac{k\lambda_ox_o}{2}\dfrac{1}{x^2}|_{x_o}^\infty}$

$E=\dfrac{k\lambda_o}{2x_o}$

Hence, this is the required solution.

Predict whether the changes in enthalpy, entropy, and free energy will be positive or negative for the melting of ice, and expla

BlackZzzverrR [31]

<span>Melting of ice is an endothermic process, meaning that energy is absorbed. When ice spontaneously melts, ΔH (change in enthalpy) is "positive". ΔS (entropy change) is also positive, because, becoming a liquid, water molecules lose their fixed position in the ice crystal, and become more disorganized. ΔG (free energy of reaction) is negative when a reaction proceeds spontaneously, as it happens in this case. Ice spontaneously melts at temperatures higher than 0°C. However, liquid water also spontaneously freezes at temperatures below 0°C. Therefore the temperature is instrumental in determining which "melting" of ice, or "freezing" of water becomes spontaneous. The whole process is summarized in the Gibbs free energy equation:
ΔG = ΔH – TΔS</span>

Light shined through a single slit will produce a diffraction pattern. Green light (565 nm) is shined on a slit with width 0.210

kondor19780726 [428]

Answer:(a)9.685 mm

(b)4.184 mm

Explanation:

Given

Wavelength of light $(\lambda )=565nm \approx 565\times 10^{-9}m$

Width of slit(b)=0.210

(a)Width of central maximum located 1.80m from slit

$=\frac{2\lambda L}{b}$

$=\frac{2\times 565\times 10^{-9}\times 1.8}{0.210\times 10^{-3}}$

=9.685 mm

(b)Width of the first order bright fringe

$Y_1=\frac{\lambda \times L}{b}$

$Y_1=\frac{565\times 10^{-9}\times 1.8}{0.210\times 10^{-3}}$

$Y_1=4.84mm$

if you were to draw a 3rd harmonic of a tube open at both ends, what would you draw at the ends of the tube?

Katena32 [7]

A 3rd harmonic of a tube open at both ends will have displacement antinodes at both ends.

In a tube of length L with two open ends, the longest standing wave has displacement antinodes (pressure nodes) at both ends. The fundamental or first harmonic is what it is known as. The second harmonic is the longest standing wave in a tube of length L with two open ends.
