The correct answer for the question that is being presented above is this one: "(a)4." Suppose that during any period of 1/4 second there is one instant at which the crests or troughs of component waves are exactly in phase and maximum <span>reinforcement occurs, in 1 second, there will be 4 beats.</span>
Potential energy increases as speed decreases. Kinetic increases when speed increases.
Assuming an ideal gas, the speed of sound depends on temperature
only. Air is almost an ideal gas.
Assuming the temperature of 25°C in a "standard atmosphere", the
density of air is 1.1644 kg/m3, and the speed of sound is 346.13 m/s.
The velocity can't be specified, since the question gives no information
regarding the direction of the sound.
Answer:
That is, mechanical waves cannot travel through a vacuum. This feature of mechanical waves is often demonstrated in a Physics class. A ringing bell is placed in a jar and air inside the jar is evacuated. Once air is removed from the jar, the sound of the ringing bell can no longer be heard.
