Elephants can communicate over distances as far as 6 km by using very low-frequency sound waves. What is the wavelength of a 10

Hz sound wave emitted by an elephant? Assume air temperature is 20∘C.

The characteristics of the sound waves allow to find the result for the wavelength is:

λ = 34.29 m

The sound wave is a longitudinal traveling wave, where the speed of the wave depends on the air temperature.

v = $v_o \sqrt{1 + \frac{T}{273} }$

where v₀ is the speed of sound for T = 0ºc v₀ = 331 m / s.

indicate that the temperature is T = 20ºC, let's find the speed of the traveling wave.

v = 331 $\sqrt{1 + \frac{20}{273} }$

v = 342.9 m / s

The speed of sound is related to wavelength and frequency.

v = λ f

λ = $\frac{v}{f}$

Let's calculate

$\lambda = \frac{342.29}{10}$

λ = 34.29 m

In conclusion using the characteristics of sound waves we can find the result for the wavelength is:

λ = 34.29 m

List the three types of symbiotic relationships. For each type of symbiotic relationship, explain how the two organisms are affe

Virty [35]

<span>The three major types of symbiosis are mutualism, where both species benefit, commensalism, where one species benefits and the other is unaffected, and parasitism, where one species benefits and the other is harmed. Symbiotic relationships can occur within an organism's body or outside of it. </span><span>Examples of mutualism include the relationship between single-celled organisms or animals that incorporate algae into their bodies. They give the algae necessary nutrients, and in return receive chemical energy from the photosynthetic algae. Animals that have this sort of relationship include some sponges, sea anemones and clams. Examples of commensalism include remora fish attaching to the bodies of sharks and eating scraps of food that escape their jaws, and barnacles living on the jaws of whales with a similar feeding strategy. Plants have commensal relationships as well, such as many orchids that grow on taller plants and benefit from the additional sunlight they obtain, without actually stealing nutrients from the host plant. Parasitic relationships are many, and parasites include all disease-causing organisms. This category also includes insects such as fleas that suck the blood of hosts externally. Parasitism is a very efficient strategy for organisms, and parasites often lose many of the features of non-parasitic life forms, instead relying on their hosts for many of the functions of life.</span>

Assume the radius of an atom, which can be represented as a hard sphere, is r = 1.95 Å. The atom is placed in a (a) simple cubic

Nuetrik [128]

Answer:

(a) A = $3.90 \AA$

(b) $A = 4.50 \AA$

(c) $A = 5.51 \AA$

(d) $A = 9.02 \AA$

Solution:

As per the question:

Radius of atom, r = 1.95 $\AA = 1.95\times 10^{- 10} m$

Now,

(a) For a simple cubic lattice, lattice constant A:

A = 2r

A = $2\times 1.95 = 3.90 \AA$

(b) For body centered cubic lattice:

$A = \frac{4}{\sqrt{3}}r$

$A = \frac{4}{\sqrt{3}}\times 1.95 = 4.50 \AA$

(c) For face centered cubic lattice:

$A = 2{\sqrt{2}}r$

$A = 2{\sqrt{2}}\times 1.95 = 5.51 \AA$

(d) For diamond lattice:

$A = 2\times \frac{4}{\sqrt{3}}r$

$A = 2\times \frac{4}{\sqrt{3}}\times 1.95 = 9.02 \AA$

A solution containing 10.0 g of an unknown liquid and 90.0 g water has a freezing point of -3.33 °C. Given Kf = 1.86 °C/m for wa

Fantom [35]

Answer:

62.06 g/mol

Explanation:

We are given that a solution containing 10 g of an unknown liquid and 90 g

Given mass of solute = $W_B$ =10 g

Given mass of solvent= $W_A$ =90 g

$k_f=1.86^{\circ}C/m$

Freezing point of solution =-3.33 $^{\circ}$ C

Freezing point of solvent = $0^{\circ}$ C

Change in freezing point =Depression in freezing point

=Freezing point of solvent - freezing point of solution=0+3.33= $3.33^{\circ}$

$\Delta T_f=\frac{W_B\times K_f\times 1000}{W_A\times M_B}$

$M_B=\frac{10\times 1.86\times 1000}{3.33\times 90}$

$M_B=62.06 g/mol$

Hence, molar mass of unknown liquid is 62.06g/mol.
