What waves have wavelengths longer than those of visible light? Give an example of how each kind of wave is used.

1 answer:

7 0

The visible light has wavelength in the range 400 - 700 nano-meters. The wavelengths longer than visible light are: 1-Infrared waves (used in ringtone/mobile waves)2-microwaves - used to heat and cook food. 3- Radio waves - used in communication purposes.

The base of a right prism is a rhombus with diagonals of 6 and 8. If the altitude of the prism is 12, what is the total surface

Agata [3.3K]

Answer:

total surface area is 432

Explanation:

Given data

base = 6

diagonals = 8

altitude = 12

to find out

total surface area

solution

we know total surface area of prism is

total surface area = lateral surface area + 2base area ..............1

first we calculate base perimeter i.e = 2 length + 2 width

so perimeter = 2(8) + 2(6) = 25

and area = length * width = 8*6 = 48

so lateral surface area is perimeter * height i.e

lateral surface area = 28* 12

lateral surface area = 336

put this value in equation 1 we get

total surface area = lateral surface area + 2base area

total surface area = 336 + 2(48)

total surface area is 432

A resistor of 5 Ω is placed in a circuit. The voltage drop across the resistor is 12 V. What is the current through the resistor

Kaylis [27]

Data:

R = 5 Ω
U = 12 V
i = ?

Formula:

 $U = R*i$ → $i = \frac{U}{R}$ 

Solving:

 $i = \frac{U}{R}$
$i = \frac{12}{5}$
$\boxed{i = 2.4A}$

Answer:

The current through the resistor is 2.4 Amperes

What is the relationship between distance and sound wave return time?

nekit [7.7K]

The time for the echo to return is directly proportional to the distance. vw = fλ. In a given medium under fixed conditions, vw is constant, so that there is a relationship between f and λ; the higher the frequency, the smaller the wavelength.
