Which of the following is not a characteristic of s waves? a. travel slower than p waves. b. cannot be detected in locations more than 105° from an earthquake’s epicenter. c. travel through solids and liquids. d. only affect coastal regions.

An ice-making machine inside a refrigerator operates in a carnot cycle. it takes heat from liquid water at 0.0 degrees celsius and rejects heat to a room at a temperature of 19.2 degrees celsius. suppose that liquid water with a mass of 76.3kg at 0.0 degrees celsius is converted to ice at the same temperature. take the heat of fusion for water to be l_f = 3.34*10^5 j/kg. how much energy e must be supplied to the device? express your answer in joules.

Ultraviolet radiation is dangerous because it has a high enough energy to damage skin cells. what is the best explanation of the relationship between wavelength and wave energy? a) wave energy is related only to frequency, not wavelength. b) longer wavelengths have lower frequencies but higher energy. c) the shorter the wavelength, the lower the frequency and the higher the energy. d) the shorter the wavelength, the higher the frequency and the higher the energy.
