What is the frequency of an electromagnetic wave that has a wavelength of 300,000 km? (the speed of light is 300,000 km/s.)?

1 answer:

6 0

Frequency represents the number of complete oscillations in one second. it is measured in Hertz (Hz). Electromagnetic waves are waves which do not require a material media for transmission. They travel with a speed of light.
The speed (m/s) of a wave is given by frequency (Hz) × Wavelength (m)
Speed is 300,000 km/sec or 300,000,000 m/s and the wavelength is 300,000 km or 300,000,000 m.
Frequency = speed÷ wavelength
= 300000000 ÷ 300000000 = 1
Therefore, the frequency of the wave is 1Hz

Which of the following describe advantages of using radio waves over other electromagnetic waves to transmit information to Eart

Whitepunk [10]

The correct options are:

"Radio waves have a lower frequency, which makes them safer for humans."

"Radio waves take less energy to produce."

<h3>Why do we radio waves over other electromagnetic waves to transmit information to Earth? </h3>

Radio waves are electromagnetic waves with frequencies on the range from 10 KHz to 10 THz.

Now, remember that all electromagnetic waves have the same speed, which is the speed of light, and the energy of a wave is proportional to its frequency.

Particularly, we can see that radio waves have small frequencies (smaller than infrared light) so these waves carry very little energy.

With that in mind, the correct options are.

"Radio waves have a lower frequency, which makes them safer for humans."

"Radio waves take less energy to produce."

These are the two main reasons of why we use radio waves.

Two containers (A and B) are in thermal contact with an environment at temperature T = 280 K. The two containers are connected b

zmey [24]

Answer:

The maximum amount of work is $W = 1563.289 \ J$

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

The temperature of the environment is $T = 280\ K$

The volume of container A is $V_A = 2 m^3$

Initially the number of moles is $n = 1.2 \ moles$

The volume of container B is $V_B = 3.5 \ m^3$

At equilibrium of the gas the maximum work that can be done on the turbine is mathematically represented as

$W = P_A V_A ln[ \frac{V_B}{V_A} ]$

Now from the Ideal gas law

$P_A V_A = nRT$

So substituting for $P_A V_A$ in the equation above

$W = nRT ln [\frac{V_B}{V_A} ]$

Where R is the gas constant with a values of $R = 8.314 \ J/mol$

Substituting values we have that

$W = 1.2 * (8.314) * (280) * ln [\frac{3.5}{2} ]$

$W = 1563.289 \ J$

The efficiency of a modern bicycle is 95% if you exert 200 Joules of input work pedaling a bicycle on level ground what is the u

Delvig [45]

Answer:

95 J

Explanation:

You can calculate efficiency by dividing useful output by total input, then multiplying it to 100.

So the foumula goes like:

Efficiency= (Useful output/Total input)x100

In this question,

Efficiency= 95%

Useful output= x

Total input= 200

Therefore;

95=(x/200)x100

0.95=x/100

x=0.95x100

x=95 Joules

One of the most important properties of materials in many applications is strength. Two of the qualitative measures of the stren

katrin2010 [14]

To solve this exercise it is necessary to take into account the concepts related to Tensile Strength and Shear Strenght.

In Materials Mechanics, generally the bodies under certain loads are subject to both Tensile and shear strenghts.

By definition we know that the tensile strength is defined as

$\sigma = \frac{F}{A}$

Where,

$\sigma =$ Tensile strength

F = Tensile Force

A = Cross-sectional Area

In the other hand we have that the shear strength is defined as

$\sigma_y = \frac{F_y}{A}$

where,

$\sigma_y =$ Shear strength

$F_y =$ Shear Force

$A_0 =$ Parallel Area

PART A) Replacing with our values in the equation of tensile strenght, then

$311*10^6 = \frac{F}{(15*10^{-6})(30*10^{-2})}$

Resolving for F,

$F= 1399.5N$

PART B) We need here to apply the shear strength equation, then

$\sigma_y = \frac{F_y}{A}$

$210*10^6 = \frac{F_y}{15*10^{-6}30*10^{-2}}$

$F_y = 945N$

In such a way that the material is more resistant to tensile strength than shear force.
