What is the term that describes waves that require a medium through which to travel?

Physics

Answer:

Mechanical waves are waves that require a medium. This means that they have to have some sort of matter to travel through. These waves travel when molecules in the medium collide with each other passing on energy. One example of a mechanical wave is sound.

PolarNik [594]

Answer:

4.1 eV

Explanation:

Kinetic energy, K = 0.8 eV = 0.8 x 1.6 x 10^-19 J = 1.28 x 10^-19 J

wavelength, λ = 253.5 nm = 253.5 x 10^-9 m

According to the Einstein energy equation

E = W_{o}+K

Where, E be the energy incident, Wo is the work function and K is the kinetic energy.

h = 6.634 x 10^-34 Js

c = 3 x 10^8 m/s

E=\frac{hc}{\lambda }=\frac{6.634 \times 10^{-34} \times 3 \times 10^{8}}{253.5\times 10^{-9}}=7.85 \times 10^{-19} J

So, the work function, Wo = E - K

Wo = 7.85 x 10^-19 - 1.28 x 10^-19

Wo = 6.57 x 10^-19 J

Wo = 4.1 eV

Thus, the work function of the metal is 4.1 eV.

Does peer pressure affect your physical activity routine? Describe this peer pressure and tell whether it is positive or negativ
Alexxx [7]
Yes, peer pressure affects one's physical activity routine. It can do so both negatively and positively. For instance, if one is pressured to do drugs when around their peers, it would most likely lead to an addiction that lasts even when they are not with those people anymore. However, from a positive viewpoint, one's peers could also pressure them to do something productive, such as trying a new beneficial activity that they are afraid of (ex. trying out for a talent show.) This could lead to a disruption in routine as that individual would begin practicing for said talent show. Hence, peer pressure can be both negative and positive, but in both instances, it changes the routine of the individual effected.

You put a bottle of soft drink in a refrigerator and leave it until its temperature has dropped 12.0K .
Bingel [31]

Answer: a) - 437.8° F, b) - 261°c.

Explanation: a) the kelvin and Fahrenheit temperature scale are related by the formulae below.

5 (°F - 32) = 9 (k - 273)

Where °F = temperature in Fahrenheit and k = temperature in kelvin.

For question A, k = 12.0, by substituting to have the value for °F, we have

5(°F - 32) = 9 ( 12 - 273)

5(°F - 32) = 9(-261)

5(°F - 32) = - 2349

°F - 32 = - 2349/5

°F - 32 = - 469.8

°F = - 469.8 + 32

°F = - 437.8

Question B

The centigrade and kelvin scale are related by the formulae below

°c = k - 273

Where °c = temperature in centigrade and k = temperature in kelvin =12

°c = 12 - 273

°c = - 261
