Differentiate surface waves from body waves?

1 answer:

8 0

Body waves travel through the interior of the Earth. On the other hand, surface waves propagate only at the interface between two different media, like the interface between Earth and atmosphere (i.e. the surface of the Earth).

Body waves are of two types: Primary waves (also called P-waves, or pressure waves) and Secondary waves (S-waves, or shear waves).

P-waves are compression waves. They can propagate in solid or liquid material.

S-waves are shear waves. They only propagate in solid material.

By studying the trajectories of S-waves, scientists could prove that the Earth had a liquid outer core.

what temperature change will be observed if a sample of 100 g of ethylene glycol antifreeze solution (specific heat capacity = 3

ivolga24 [154]

Answer:

1°C temperature change will be observed if a sample of 100 g of ethylene glycol antifreeze solution.

Explanation:

Mass of ethylene glycol = m = 100 g

Specific heat capacity of ethylene glycol = c = 3.5 J/g°C

Change in temperature of ethylene glycol = ΔT

Heat loss by the ethylene glycol = Q = 350 J

$Q=mc\Delta T$

$\Delta T=\frac{Q}{mc}=\frac{350 J}{100 g\times 3.5 J/g^oC}$

ΔT = 1°C

1°C temperature change will be observed if a sample of 100 g of ethylene glycol antifreeze solution.

1. A 225-L barrel of white wine has an initial free SO2 concentration of 22 ppm and a pH of 3.70. How much SO2 (in grams) should

Alexandra [31]

Answer:

The appropriate answer is "9.225 g".

Explanation:

Given:

Required level,

= 63 ppm

Initial concentration,

= 22 ppm

Now,

The amount of free SO₂ will be:

= $Required \ level -Initial \ concentration$

= $63-22$

= $41 \ ppm$

The amount of free SO₂ to be added will be:

= $41\times 225$

= $9225 \ mg$

∵ 1000 mg = 1 g

So,

= $9225\times \frac{1}{1000}$

= $9.225$

Thus,

"9.225 g" should be added.

Draw a schematic of the hydrogen atom with the single proton in the nucleus, and the n=1, n=2, n=3, and n=4 energy level options

max2010maxim [7]

Explanation:

According to Bohr's postulates, the electron in the present in the lower energy level can absorb energy and exits to higher energy level. Also, when this electron returns back to its orbit, it emits some energy.

Since the hydrogen consists of 1 electron and 1 proton. The lowest energy configuration of the hydrogen is when n =1 or, when the electron is present in the K-shell or the ground state.

The possible transition for the electron given in the question is :

n = 2, 3 and 4

The schematic diagram of the hydrogen atom consisting of these four quantum levels in which the electron can jump (Absorption) and comeback to from these energy levels (emission) .
