Q

Impingement is a consequence of?

A

Laminar Flow

Erosion corrosion happens when metal is worn away due to the smooth flow of liquid (laminar flow), and impingement, a consequence of this process, occurs when the liquid forcefully impacts the metal surface.

39
Q

Sound waves in air will travel further when?

A

The wavelength is longer

Explanation: The distance a sound wave can travel in a medium is determined by its wavelength and the velocity of sound in that medium. In air, the velocity of sound remains relatively constant under normal conditions. Therefore, when the wavelength is longer, the sound wave can travel further before dissipating.
