Question
Explain why cooking is faster in a pressure cooker.

Answer

As in pressure cooker liquid is changed in to vapors and they increase pressure inside cooker as we know pressure is directly proportional to temperature thus temperature increases along with pressure thus food is cooked faster.

You have learnt that a travelling wave in one dimension is represented by a function y = f(x, t) where x and t must appear in the combination x – v t or x + v t, i.e. y = f (x ± v t). Is the converse true? Examine if the following functions for y can possibly represent a travelling wave:

  2. log[(x + vt)/x0]
  3. 1/(x + vt)
