Electromagnetic waves, which include light, consist of vibrations of electric and magnetic fields, and they all travel at the sp

eed of light.
A.) FM radio. Find the wavelength of an FM radio station signal broadcasting at a frequency of 102.5 MHz .
B.) X rays. X rays have a wavelength of about 0.200 nm . What is their frequency?
C.) The Big Bang. Microwaves with a wavelength of 1.20 mm , left over from soon after the Big Bang, have been detected. What is their frequency?
D.) Sunburn. Sunburn (and skin cancer) are caused by ultraviolet light waves having a frequency of around 1.04×1016 Hz . What is their wavelength?
E.) SETI. It has been suggested that extraterrestrial civilizations (if they exist) might try to communicate by using electromagnetic waves having the same frequency as that given off by the spin flip of the electron in hydrogen, which is 1.42 GHz . To what wavelength should we tune our telescopes in order to search for such signals?
F.) Microwave ovens. Microwave ovens cook food with electromagnetic waves of frequency around 2.45 GHz . What wavelength do these waves have?

Answer:

2.92682 m

1.5\times 10^{18}\ Hz

250000000000 Hz

2.88462\times 10^{-8}\ m

0.21126 m

0.12244 m

Explanation:

c = Speed of light = 3\times 10^8\ m/s

\lambda = Wavelength

f = Frequency

Wavelength is given by

\lambda=\dfrac{c}{f}\\\Rightarrow \lambda=\dfrac{3\times 10^8}{102.5\times 10^6}\\\Rightarrow \lambda=2.92682\ m

The wavelength is 2.92682 m

Frequency is given by

f=\dfrac{c}{\lambda}\\\Rightarrow f=\dfrac{3\times 10^8}{0.2\times 10^{-9}}\\\Rightarrow f=1.5\times 10^{18}\ Hz

The frequency is 1.5\times 10^{18}\ Hz

f=\dfrac{c}{\lambda}\\\Rightarrow f=\dfrac{3\times 10^8}{1.2\times 10^{-3}}\\\Rightarrow f=250000000000\ Hz

The frequency is 250000000000 Hz

\lambda=\dfrac{c}{f}\\\Rightarrow \lambda=\dfrac{3\times 10^8}{1.04\times 10^{16}}\\\Rightarrow \lambda=2.88462\times 10^{-8}\ m

The wavelength is 2.88462\times 10^{-8}\ m

\lambda=\dfrac{c}{f}\\\Rightarrow \lambda=\dfrac{3\times 10^8}{1.42\times 10^{9}}\\\Rightarrow \lambda=0.21126\ m

The wavelength is 0.21126 m

\lambda=\dfrac{c}{f}\\\Rightarrow \lambda=\dfrac{3\times 10^8}{2.45\times 10^9}\\\Rightarrow \lambda=0.12244\ m

The wavelength is 0.12244 m

True or false? A protostellar cloud spins faster as it contracts
Aleks04 [339]

Answer:

No. The protostellar cloud spins faster in the collapsing stage (stage 1) and becomes much slower in the contraction stage (stage 2)

Explanation:

Once the cloud is so dense that the heat which is being produced in its center cannot easily escape, pressure rapidly rises, and catches up with the weight, or whatever external force is causing the cloud to collapse, and the cloud becomes stable, as a protostellar cloud.

The protostellar cloud will become more dense over thousands of years. This stage of decreasing size is known as a contraction, rather than a collapse. In the contraction stage the cloud has become much slower, and because weight and pressure are more or less in balance. In the first stage of formation, the decrease of size is very rapid, and compressive forces completely overwhelm the pressure of the gas, and we say that the cloud is collapsing.

Anton [14]

Answer:

Explanation:

Gravitational force between two objects having mass m₁ and m₂ at a distance R

F = G m₁ m₂ / R²

Force between baby and father F₁ = 6.67x10⁻¹¹ x 4.1 x 120 / .18²

= 1.01 x 10⁻⁶ N

b )

Force between baby and Jupiter

F₂ = 6.67x10⁻¹¹ x 1.9x 10²⁷ x 4.1 / ( 6.29 x 10¹¹ )²

= 1.31 x 10⁻⁶  N

c )

Ratio = 1.01 / 1.31

= .77

In order to slide a heavy desk across the floor at constant speed in a straight line, you have to exert a horizontal force of 40
san4es73 [151]

Answer:

F = f from Newton’s first law.

Explanation:

since the desk is moved in a straight line at a constant speed, newton first law tell us that the two forces must be equal.

Newton's First Law states that an object will remain at rest or in uniform motion in a straight line unless acted upon by an external force. since the table has been set in motion by the 400 N force, it will remain in motion unless it is been acted upon by an external force, and this means that the 400 N must be equal to the frictional force for it to have been in motion in the first instance.

AIR MASSES!!
777dan777 [17]

Answer:

A : hot and moist, maritime tropical

B: cold and dry, maritime polar

C: hot and moist , maritime tropical

D: cold and dry, continental polar

E: hot and moist , maritime tropical

F: cold and dry , maritime polar

Explanation:

Cold air is denser than warm air. The more water vapor that is in the air, the less dense the air becomes. That is why cold, dry air is much heavier than warm, humid air.

Maritime polar (mP) air masses are cool, moist, and unstable. Some maritime polar air masses originate as continental polar air masses over Asia and move westward over the Pacific, collecting warmth and moisture from the ocean. 

Maritime tropical (mT) air masses are warm, moist, and usually unstable.
