Answer: D. solids and liquids only

Explanation:

Solids have definite volume because they have almost no inter-molecular space between its molecule, they are closely packed and rigid in their structure and hence they also have a definite shape.

In case of liquids we have a little inter-molecular space which makes the liquid-bulk flexible enough to attain any shape but this inter molecular space is not sufficient enough to make them compressible making them negligibly compressible. Therefore liquids are also  considered to have a difinite volume.

But in the case of gases there is very large inter molecular space and the molecules make a random motion due to very weak force of attraction between them and the space between the molecules is compressible on the application of force. So, they don't have a definite shape and definite volume.

When a wave hits a boundary, what determines how much is reflected and refracted?
Dafna1 [17]

Answer:

Angle and speed of wave

Explanation:

The two phenomena involved here are:

- Reflection: reflection occurs when a light wave bounces off the interface between two mediums, returning into the first medium, at a different angle

- Refraction: refraction occurs when a light wave passes through the interface between the two mediums, passing into the second medium, changing direction and speed

The coefficient of reflection tells what is the fraction of the wave that is reflected over the total; it is calculated as

R=|\frac{n_1 cos \theta_1 - n_2 cos \theta_2}{n_1 cos \theta_1 + n_2 cos \theta_2}|^2

where

n_1, n_2 are the index of refraction of the 1st and 2nd medium

\theta_1, \theta_2 are the angle between the ray of light  and the normal to the interface in the 1st and 2nd medium

From the formula, we see that the % of wave that is reflected depends on the angle and the index of refraction. Moreover, the index of refraction is related to the speed of the wave by:

n=\frac{c}{v}

where c is the speed of light in a vacuum and v the speed of light in the medium; therefore, the correct answer is

Angle and speed of wave

Which layer of the atmosphere has the highest density?
fomenos

Answer:

The Troposphere is the lowermost portion of Earth’s atmosphere. It is the densest layer of the atmosphere and contains approximately 75 percent of the mass of the atmosphere and almost all the water vapor and aerosol. The troposphere extends from the Earth’s surface up to the tropopause where the stratosphere begins.

During the day, susan notices that the wind is blowing onshore at the beach. What is this called? land breeze land breeze sea br
In-s [12.5K]

The correct option is (b) Sea breeze

During the day, susan notices that the wind is blowing onshore at the beach called sea breeze.

What is sea breeze?

  • Any wind that flows from a big body of water onto or onto a landmass is called a sea breeze or an onshore breeze.
  • Sea breezes form as a result of changes in air pressure brought on by the different heat capacities of water and dry land. Sea breezes are therefore more confined than prevailing winds.
  • A sea wind is frequently seen along coasts after sunrise because land warms up far more quickly than water does when exposed to solar radiation.
  • The sea wind front is significant because it can serve as a catalyst for afternoon thunderstorms and provide welcome cooling along the coast.

What is true about an electric motor?
Molodets [167]
The statement (C) <span>The current carrying loop is able to turn because the magnetic force is always parallel to it.
In an electric motor the current do not reduce at any point. So, the (A) is also not correct.

The correct statement about an electric motor is (B), 
</span><span>The current carrying loop is able to turn because the magnetic force is always at a right angle to it.</span>
