Apiece of driftwood moves up and down as water waves pass beneath it. however, it does not move toward the shore with the waves. what does this demonstrate about the propagation of waves through a medium?

The first-order reaction a→2b+c has rate constant 0.538 s−1. if the initial concentration of a is 0.867 mol l−1, what is the half-life of the reaction in seconds? remember to use correct significant figures in your answer (round your answer to the nearest hundredth). do not include units in your response.

It may seem strange that the selected velocity does not depend on either the mass or the charge of the particle. (for example, would the velocity of a neutral particle be selected by passage through this device? ) the explanation of this is that the mass and the charge control the resolution of the device--particles with the wrong velocity will be accelerated away from the straight line and will not pass through the exit slit. if the acceleration depends strongly on the velocity, then particles with just slightly wrong velocities will feel a substantial transverse acceleration and will not exit the selector. because the acc

An electromagnetic wave with frequency 65.0 hz travels in aninsulating magnetic material that has dielectric constant 3.64 andrelative permeability 5.18 at this frequency. the electric fieldhas amplitude 7.20 \times 10^{ - 3} {\rm v}/{\rm m}. a. what is the speed of propagation of the wave? b. what is the wavelength of the wave? c. what is the amplitude of the magnetic field? d. what is the intensity of the wave?
