The frequency of the 5 waves with a length of 4m hit the shore every 2 seconds is 2.5 Hz.

<h3>What is frequency?</h3>

This is the number of cycles completed by a wave in one second. The s.i

unit of frequency is Hert (Hz).

From the question, to calculate the frequency of 5 waves with length of 4 m that hit the shores every 2 seconds, we use the formula below.

Formula:

  • F = n/t........... Equation 1

Where:

  • n = Number of wave
  • F = Frequency
  • t = time

From the question,

Given:

  • n = 5 waves
  • t = 2 seconds

Substitute these values into equation 1

  • F = 5/2
  • F = 2.5 Hz.

Hence, The frequency of the wave is 2.5 Hz.

Which of the following is true about light waves and sound waves? A. Sound waves can move at different speeds, but light waves a
vivado [14]

Answer:

C

Explanation:

Sound waves speed up noticeably when moving through a solid or liquid, because all it is is just particles colliding; and particles are way closer together with those states of matter.

The speed of light can change when moving through different substances, but this is dependent on complicated factors such as frequency, polarization, intensity, et. cetera

The important part is that it does change speed, so your answer is C.

Hope this helps!

A convex refracting surface has a radius of 12 cm. Light is incident in air (n = 1) and refracted into a medium with an index of
OLga [1]

Answer:

<h2>36cm from the surface</h2>

Explanation:

Equation of refraction of a lens is expression according to the formula given below;

\dfrac{n_2}{v} = \dfrac{n_1}{u}=  \dfrac{n_2-n_1}{R}

R is the radius of curvature of the convex refracting surface = 12cm

v is the image distance from the refracting surface

u  is the object distance from the refracting surface

n₁ and n₂ are the refractive indices of air and the medium respectively

Given parameters

R = 12 cm

u = \infty (since light incident is parallel to the axis)

n₁  = 1

n₂  = 1.5

Required

<em>focus point of the light that is incident and parallel to the central axis (v)</em>

<em />

Substituting this values into the given formula we will have;

\dfrac{1.5}{v} - \dfrac{1}{\infty}=  \dfrac{1.5-1}{12}\\\\\dfrac{1.5}{v} -0=  \dfrac{0.5}{12}\\\\\dfrac{1.5}{v}=  \dfrac{0.5}{12}\\\\

Cross multiply

1.5*12 = 0.5*v\\ \\18 = 0.5v\\\\v = \frac{18}{0.5}\\ \\v = 36cm

Hence  Light incident parallel to the central axis is focused at a point 36cm from the surface

By how much will the length of a chicago concrete walkway that is 18 m long contract when the equipment drops from 24 degrees ce
xenn [34]

Answer:

Contraction of Chicago concrete walkway = 8.64 x 10⁻³ m

Explanation:

Thermal expansion or compression is given by ΔL = LαΔT

Here Length of Chicago concrete walkway, L = 18 m

         Change in temperature, ΔT = (-16 - 24) = -40 °C

         Coefficient of thermal expansion for concrete, α = 12 x 10⁻⁶ °C⁻¹

Substituting

    ΔL = LαΔT = 18 x 12 x 10⁻⁶ x (-40) = -8.64 x 10⁻³ m

Contraction of Chicago concrete walkway = 8.64 x 10⁻³ m
