Describe an environment in which the sound of a ringing cell phone could not be transmitted, and explain why the ringing wouldn't be heard. assume that the phone is working and that the cell signal has not been interrupted

In a vacuum

Explanation:

Sound is a type of mechanical waves. Mechanical waves are waves that propagate through the oscillation of the particles in a medium, which can be either gas, liquid or solid.

A sound wave in air, for instance, is simply produced by the oscillations of the air particles back and forth along the direction of motion of the wave.

Given this definition, it is clear that mechanical waves (and so, sound waves as well) cannot be transmitted if there is no medium: therefore, they cannot be transmitted in a vacuum. So, the sound of the ringing bell would not be present in a vacuum.

answer: the correct answer is 1.

explanation: there are various process in which a radioactive nuclei decays:

1) alpha decay: in this process, a heavier nuclei decays into lighter nuclei by releasing alpha particle. the mass number is reduced by 4 units.

2) electron capture: in this decay process, a parent nuclei absorbs an electron and gets converted into a neutron. simply, a proton and an electron combines together to form a neutron. mass number does not change in this process.

3) gamma ray emission: it is a decay process in which an unstable nuclei gives excess energy by a spontaneous electromagnetic process. this decay releases . this process does not change the mass number.

4) positron emission: it is a type of decay process, in which a proton gets converted to neutron and an electron neutrino. this is also known as -decay. in this the mass number remains same.

from the above information, we see that only alpha-decay is producing a change in the mass number of the nucleus.

i believe the answer is electric potential.
