Which of the following best describes reverberation? A change in the sound wave velocity causes the wave to bend in a different
direction.
The wave fronts become mixed and broken up due to contact with a rough or
irregular surface.
A fraction of the sound waves are absorbed by an object and converted to heat
energy.
A single sound undergoes several reflections due to multiple reflecting surfaces.

The heater element of a 120 v toaster is a 5.4 m length of nichrome wire, whose diameter is 0.48 mm. the resistivity of nichrome at the operating temperature of the toaster is 1.3 × 10-6 ω·m. the toaster is operated at a voltage of 120 v. (a) what is the power drawn by the toaster? (b) if the cost of electricity is 12 ¢ per kilowatt-hour, and it takes 2 minutes to toast bread, how much does it cost for toasted bread? (c) when the heater element is at room temperature, is the resistivity in the nichrome wire greater than, less than, or equal to it’s resistivity when at operating temperature? explain.
