A standing wave is created in a microwave oven by reflecting microwaves from the walls of the oven. The cold spots, the nodes in

the microwave standing wave, are found to be 6 cm apart. What is the frequency of the microwaves? [Ans: 2.5 * 109Hz]​

The frequency of the wave is given as 2.5 * 10^9 Hz.

<h3>What is wavelength?</h3>

The term wavelength is the distance that is covered by a wave. It is also referred to as the distance between two successive crests or two successive troughs. It can also be defined as half of the distance between two nodes.

Now nodes are the points in which there is no movement while antinodes are the points in which there is movement.

Given that;

c = λf

c = speed of light =  3 * 10^8 m/s

λ = 2(6cm) = 12 cm or 12 * 10^-2 m

f = ??

Thus;

f = c/ λ

f =  3 * 10^8 m/s/12 * 10^-2 m

f = 2.5 * 10^9 Hz

Collisions between atoms are often elastic, but sometimes inelastic collisions occur, and the lost kinetic energy can become int
Galina-37 [17]

Answer:

a) E = 6.4 1019 J    b)  v = 0.69 10⁴4 m / s

Explication

a) convert E = 4.0 eV

    1 eV = 1.6 10⁻¹⁹ J

   E = 4.0 eV (1.6 10⁻¹⁹ J / 1 eV)

   E = 6.4 10⁻¹⁹ J

b) Suppose we have a frontal shock and all the kinetic energy of oxygen is transferred to Cs

    Ei = K = ½ m v²

    Ef = 6.4 10⁻¹⁹ J

    ½ m v² = 6.4 10⁻¹⁹

The oxygen mass of the periodic table is

     PA = 15,999 u

     1u = 1.660 10⁻²⁷ kg

     Pa = 15,999 1,660 10⁻²⁷ kg

     m= Pa = 26,558 10⁻²⁷ kg

Let's calculate the speed

    v2 = 2 / m 6.4 10⁻¹⁹

    v2 = 2 / 26,558 10⁻²⁷ 6.4 10⁻¹⁹ =

    v = √0.4819 10⁸

    v = 0.69 10⁴4 m / s

If a car travels 80 miles between 2 and 4 pm, then its velocity is close to 40 mph at 2 pm.
Alisiya [41]
The answer should be false because it doesnt say if the car is traveling at constant speed. The cars speed can be various so that in total for 2 hours that it travels it passes 80 miles. If however it actually traveled at constant speed than the answer is true.

Which is not a characteristic of chemical energy? A. chemical change B. breaking bonds C. splitting nuclei D. reacting substance
Delvig [45]

The correct answer is C. Splitting Nuclei.

Splitting nuclei is not a characteristics of chemical energy.

Chemical energy is termed as the energy which results when there is chemical reaction. Chemical energy is being stored in molecules which makes substance and bonds of atoms.

In order for our bodies to function well they need chemical energy. During photosynthesis plants perform chemical reaction each and every day.

Why do the stars rotate​
Aloiza [94]

Answer:

Angular momentum

Explanation:

Stars are formed as a result of a collapse of a low-temperature cloud of gas and dust. During the colapse conservation of angular momentum causes any small net rotation of the cloud to increase thus forcing the material into rotating
