Calculate the rate, in watts, at which this heat transfer through radiation occurs (almost entirely in the infrared) from 1.0 m2 to the atmosphere at night. assume the emissivity is 0.90, the temperature of the surface of the earth is 15°c, and that of outer space is 2.7 k. q/δt = 376.4|

The speed of sound in ice, water, and steam is shown. what best explains the speed of sound in different states of matter? sound travels fastest in ice because energy is easier to transfer when the molecules are close together. sound travels slowest in steam because the sound has to move around the gas molecules that are far apart. sound travels fastest in ice because the temperature of solids is always greater, so the heat transfers the sound energy. sound travels slowest in steam because the pressure is so great the sound cannot travel though the steam particles.
