What is a wave in sound and light

Physics
2 answers:
frez [133]3 years ago
7 0

Answer:

Light waves are electromagnetic waves while sound waves are mechanical waves. Light waves are transverse while sound waves are longitudinal. Light waves can travel in vacuum. Sound waves require a material medium to travel, and hence, cannot travel in vacuum. The speed of light in a medium is constant. (i hope i helped youuu)

What will cause the volume of an ideal gas to triple in value?
trapecia [35]

Answer: The volume of an ideal gas will triple in value if the pressure is reduced to one-third of its initial value

Explanation:

We can determine this from the gas laws. Using Boyle's law, which states that "the pressure of a given mass of an ideal gas is inversely proportional to its volume at a constant temperature"

Mathematically, P ∝ (1/V)

Since P ∝ (1/V), we can then write that

P = k(1/V)

Where P is the pressure, V is the volume and k is the proportionality constant

PV = k

We can then write that

P1V1 = P2V2 = P3V3 = ...

Hence, P1V1 = P2V2

Where P1 is the initial pressure of the gas

P2 is the final pressure of the gas

V1 is the initial volume of the gas

and V2 is the final volume of the gas

From the question, we want to determine what will make the new volume be thrice the initial volume.

Hence,

P1 = P

V1 = V

P2= ??

V2 = 3V

Therefore,

P × V = P2 × (3V)

P2 = PV/3V

P2 = P/3 = 1/3(P)

This means the volume of an ideal gas will triple in value if the pressure is reduced to one-third of its initial value

In physics class, Anne is designing a small circuit that can operate a mixer. Identify the devices she should use in the circuit
Lubov Fominskaja [6]

To operate a mixer circuit , Anne should use a (motor, buzzer, bulb, or battery) to transfer electric energy into motion. She should also use a (switch, resistor, buzzer, or bulb) to start and stop the flow of current.

An electric-powered circuit consists of a device that gives energy to the charged particles constituting the modern-day, consisting of a battery or a generator; devices that use cutting-edge, including lamps, electric cars, or computer systems; and the connecting wires or transmission traces.

An electrical circuit is an interconnection of electrical components or a version of such an interconnection, consisting of electrical elements. an electrical circuit is a network along with a closed loop, giving a go-back direction for the cutting-edge.

An electrical circuit consists of a source of electrical strength, two wires that can convey electric power present day, and a mild bulb. One stop of both the wires is hooked up to the terminal of a mobile at the same time as their free ends are related to the light bulb. the electric circuit is damaged while the bulb is switched off.
