Explanation

• Strain is the ratio of the change in length to the original length of a material when a force is applied.
• It measures the relative deformation of a material.
• It has no unit, because it is a ratio of two lengths.

Explanation

• Surface tension decreases as temperature increases.
• Higher temperature increases the kinetic energy of liquid molecules, weakening the effect of intermolecular cohesive forces at the surface.
• Surface tension becomes nearly zero at the critical temperature, where the distinction between liquid and gas disappears.
• Water has a surface tension of approximately 72.8 mN/m at 20°C.

Explanation

• The amplitude of a sound wave determines its loudness.
• Greater amplitude generally produces a louder sound.
• While smaller amplitude produces a quieter sound.

Additional information:

• Frequency: Determines pitch (high or low sound).
• Wavelength: The distance between two consecutive points in the same phase, such as two crests.
