During an ultrasound, sound waves are sent by a transducer through muscle tissue at a speed of 1300 m/s. Some of the sound waves are reflected from a metal fragment 3.0 cm into the muscle tissue. How long did it take the transducer to detect the reflected waves from the metal fragment after they were first emitted?

23 seconds
39 seconds
2.3 x 10−5 seconds
3.9 x 10−5 seconds

$2.3 \times 10^{-5} \text { seconds }$ is the time taken by the transducer to detect the reflected waves from the metal fragment after they were first emitted

Option C

Explanation:

Given data:

speed, v = 1300 m/s

distance, d = 3.0 cm = $3.00 \times 10^{-2} \mathrm{m}$

We need to calculate the time taken by the transducer to detect the reflected waves from the metal fragment after they were first emitted.

As we know, the velocity is the ratio of distance and the time travelled by an object. The equation form is given by,

$\text {velocity, } v=\frac{\text {distance }(d)}{\text {time}(t)}$

By applying the given values to the above equation, we get

$1300=\frac{3.00 \times 10^{-2}}{t}$

$t=\frac{3.00 \times 10^{-2}}{1300}=0.002307 \times 10^{-2}=2.3 \times 10^{-5} \text { seconds }$

quantum mechanics or quantum physics is physics of very small objects (particles) and physical entities.

quantum physics has some parallels to our macro world and some pretty unique ideas which theoretically and mathematically proven to be true even though we will never be able to access them because of our size.

there are many types of particles: subatomic, elementary etc.

subatomic means they are smaller than atom, elementary means they are at the very basis of everything.

subatomic particles are for eg. protons, neutrons but not electrons.

elementary particles are categorised into 3 groups by what they do.

these 3 groups are quarks, leptons and bosons.

light for example is a particle more precisely a photon a part of leptons.

proton (subatomic particle) is made out of 2 up quarks and 1 down quark each of these has a fractional charge like $\frac{1}{3}$ . (i crazy)

most famous scientist who contributed to this physics are:

max planckalbert einsteinerwin schrödingermany

the topic itself us understand a lot and will probably be vastly used in the future (quantum computers, understanding the big bang,

we also must not forget quantum effects like:

superposition (where 1 thing can be this and that at the same time),entanglement (where two particles are seemingly connected by some sort of unknown (or known) force, energy, matter (i know all that can be the same at least it was at the beginning)

and there is more. but probably too much for this answer to be consistent due to my average understanding of this topic.

hope this you understand quantum mechanics a little more. i'm not an expert in the topic (so don't be like wth if you are an expert) but i'm very interested in it.

anyways quantum physics is a very hard topic (harder than physics (perhaps)) therefore searching for every information there is about it and learning it is unfortunately impossible (you can only specialise into 1 - 3 things or more (perhaps

have fun and i wish you luck!

High schoolphysics 5+3 pts a neon light consists of a glass tube with metal wires at each end. when connected to a high-voltage source, the gas glows. if a fly lands on the glass tube, what will most likely happen? a) the fly will not feel a shock because the glass conducts any free electrons back into the gas. b) electrons will flow directly from the metal wires along the glass and shock the fly. c) the fly will not feel a shock because the glass insulates it from the electrons in the gas and the metal. d) electrons that are moving through the gas will be conducted through the glass and shock the fly.
