The period of a wave is the time it takes the wave to complete one cycle (at a fixed location).
So if a wave completes one cycle in <em>2 seconds</em>, then that is its period.
Henry Moseley, its a generator which uses energy to generate electricity
Answer:
(B) at the middle of the pipe
Explanation:
In the case of an open pipe which vibrates in fundamental mode, an anti-node is formed at the middle of the pipe, here the amplitude of the wave is maximum. Hence, the pressure variation is also maximum at the middle.
Normal faults can be caused by physical stress.
Reverse faults can be caused by emotional stress.
Answer:
This is because below 4°c, water unlike other materials becomes less dense when it's temperature is further lowered.
Explanation:
Due to the unusual nature of water; at about 4°c, the behavior of the density of water in relation to its temperature reverses. This means that water becomes less dense as it becomes colder below 4°c. The colder parts therefore floats to the top of the water body while the warmer part sinks allowing the top to freeze and the remaining body below to remain in its liquid state.
The freezing of the top of the lake alone protects the remaining depth of water from freezing by acting as an insulator and preventing further heat loss from the water to the ambient space. If this had not been the case, and water froze all through, marine lives will freeze to death and it will be more difficult to melt the ice come the next summer.
This behavior is due to the hydrogen bonding of the water molecules.
