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

Nutka1998 [239]

Answer:

(a) 1500 m

(b) 2827.43m

Explanation:

Given that the time for one cycle of the swing is 1 s

The radius of the swing, R= 3.0m

The angle covered, \theta, by each swing is a quarter of the circle. i.e.

\Theta=\frac {\pi}{2}

Speed of running of women =5 m/s.

Time of running = 5 minutes= 5 x 60 secondes= 300 s.

(a) As distance= (speed) x (time)

So, the required distance= 5 x 300 m= 1500 m.

(b) As there are two swings in one cycle, so, the distance covered in one swing is the length of the circular shown in the figure.

As arc length, l= \theta R, where \theta is the angle, in radian, subtended by the arc at the center, and R is the radius of curvature of the arc.

So, the distance covered by the child in 1 swing = \frac {\pi}{2}\times 3 m=\frac{3\pi}{2}m.

In 1 cycle, there are 2 swings, so distance covered in 1 cycle = 3 \pi m.

Now, in 1 second there is 1 cycle, so in 5 minutes there will be 300 cycles.

So, the total distance covered by the child

= 3\pi\times 300 m= 2827.43 m.
