A student heats a bar of chocolate in the microwave for one minute. When they remove the bar they observe that there are patches of melted chocolate with unmelted chocolate between them. Suggest the mechanism of how this happens.

This question is about standing waves, the bar of chocolate melts only in the positions where antinodes are formed on the standing wave as they transfer the most energy as they have the greatest amplitude...

On the line of centres between the Earth and the Moon, there is a point where the net gravitational force is zero. Given that the distance between the two is 385,000 km, and that the Earth has a mass 81x that of the Moon, how far is this point from Earth?

Here, we must consider Newton's Law of Universal Gravitation. This states that the gravitational force acting between two bodies is proportional to the masses of each body and inversely proportional to th...

Explain the term 'coupling medium' and why it is used in ultrasound imaging.

The extent to which incident ultrasound waves are reflected at a surface boundary is proportional to the difference in acoustic impedence between the two...
