Answer : 1. "It is halved"
Explanation :

If the observer is moving away from the source ((Figure)), the observed frequency can be found: λs=vTo−voTovTs=(v−vo)Tov(1fs)=(v−vo)(1fo)fo=fs(v−vov).

Answer : 1. "They cannot transmit data at long distances due to curvature of the earth"
Explanation :

Explanation: Most communication waves cannot transmit data accurately over long distances due to the curvature of the earth. They can only do so in the line of sight. However, they are not reflected by the ionosphere like radio waves and can be relayed to a wide area using geostationary satellites.

Q:

What are the conditions for gas like Carbon monoxide to obey the ideal gas laws?

Answer : 3. "High temperature and low pressure "
Explanation :

A real gas can behave as an ideal gas if volume of molecule is negligible and interaction between molecule is negligible. This will happen if number of molecule per unit volume is very small. This is only possible at high temperature and low pressure.

Answer : 1. "1"
Explanation :

Strong electrolytes have a degree of dissociation close to one, while weak electrolytes have a degree of dissociation less than one. Solvent nature: Solvents with a high dielectric constant show more dissociation. Dilution: As the solution is diluted, the degree of dissociation increases.
