Diffusion of the perfume in the air allows you to smell it at a distance source. Diffusion is the process by which the particles of a substance move from an area of higher concentration (the original source) to an area of lower concentration (everywhere else in the room).

What is the maximum distance at which the riveter is still audible?

The intensity of a sound produced by a point source decreases as the square of the distance from the source. Consider a riveter as a point source of sound and assume that the intensities listed in Table 12.1 are measured at a distance 1 m away from the source. What is the maximum distance at which the riveter is still audible? (Neglect losses due to energy absorption in the air.)


You can smell the perfume sitting several meters away why?

Perfumes contain volatile vapors of sweet-smelling compounds that diffuse in air when the bottle is opened. Gaseous molecules move at several hundred meters per second, and so smells can travel quickly across a room.


How does the intensity of a sound wave change if the distance from the source is decreased by a factor of 2?

The intensity of a sound wave is inversely proportional to the square of the distance from the source. If the distance from the source is decreased by a factor of 2, the intensity increases by a factor of 2 squared, which is 4. Thus, the sound intensity becomes four times greater as the distance is halved.


Which process requires an external power source?

Electrolysis is a process that requires an external power source. This process uses electricity to cause a chemical reaction that splits compounds into their constituent elements.

Which does a fern ultimately depend on as an energy source?

A fern ultimately depends on sunlight as an energy source through the process of photosynthesis. This process allows ferns to convert sunlight into chemical energy, which is used for growth and reproduction.


What is the energy source of a paramecium?

A paramecium obtains energy through the process of phagocytosis, where it engulfs and digests prey such as bacteria. This process allows the paramecium to extract nutrients and energy for its survival.


In radiology what is the term SID?

SID stands for Source to Image Distance. This is the distance between the source of photons (anode) and the image receptor.


How does distance affect intensity?

Distance affects intensity by following the inverse square law, which states that as distance from a source increases, the intensity of the source decreases by the square of the distance. This means that the further you are from a source of intensity, the weaker the intensity will be.
