The main way in which an altimeter measures the altitude of an object is by calculating the location's air pressure.

<h3>What is an Altimeter?</h3>

This refers to the instrument that is used to measure the altitude of an object when it is at a fixed level.

Hence, we can see that an altimeter should NOT be confused with a barometer, because although they both measure pressure, a barometer calculates the change in air pressure and elevation based on available weather.

Please note that your question is incomplete so I gave you a general overview to help you get a better understanding of the concept.

In Newton's Third law of motion, the 'action' and 'reaction' forces act on different objects.  That's why they don't cancel each other out and always result in zero force.

Oliga [24]

Answer:

0.68 m

Explanation:

We know that the speed of sound in air is a product of frequency and wavelength. Taking speed of sound in air as 340 m/s

V=frequency*wavelength

Then wavelength is given by 350/500=0.68 m

Therefore, to repeat constructive interference at the listener's ear, a distance of 0.68 m is needed

A beam of light has a wavelength of 4.5 x10^-7 meter in a vacuum. the frequency of this light is
valkas [14]
The basic relationship between frequency and wavelength for light (which is an electromagnetic wave) is
c= f \lambda
where c is the speed of light, f the frequency and \lambda the wavelength of the wave. 
Using \lambda=4.5 \cdot 10^{-7} m and c=3 \cdot 10^8 m/s, we can find the value of the frequency:
f= \frac{c}{\lambda}= \frac{3 \cdot 10^8 m/s}{4.5 \cdot 10^{-7} m}=6.7 \cdot 10^{14} Hz
