Communication with submerged submarines via radio waves is difficult because seawater is conductive and absorbselectromagnetic wa

ves. Penetration into the ocean is greater at longer wavelengths, so the United States has radioinstallations that transmit at 76 Hz for submarine communications. What is the approximate wavelength of those extremelylow-frequency waves?A. 500 kmB. 1000 kmC. 2000 kmD. 4000 km

Answer:

D. 4000 km

Explanation:

f = Frequency of wave that is being transmitted = 76 Hz

\lambda = Wavelength of wave that is being transmitted

v = The velocity of electromagnetic waves through air = 3\times 10^8\ m/s

Velocity of a wave is given by

v=f\lambda\\\Rightarrow \lambda=\frac{v}{f}\\\Rightarrow \lambda=\frac{3\times 10^8}{76}\\\Rightarrow \lambda=3947368.42105\ m=3947.36842105 km\approx 4000\ km

Hence, the approximate wavelength of the waves is 4000 km

a kid on a playground swing makes 6 complete to-and-from swings each 30 seconds (a) the frequency of the swinging is? (b) the pe
Mariana [72]

The frequency is how many per second:

       (6 swings)/(30 sec) = (6/30) swing/sec = 0.2 per sec = 0.2 Hz .

The period is how long each one takes, or seconds per swing.
It's exactly the flip of frequency.
So we could just take the frequency, flip it, and find   1 / 0.2 ,
but let's do it the long way:

      (30 sec) / (6 swings) = (30/6) sec/swing =  5 seconds  .

Atmospheric pressure and density at the top of Mount Everest ​
Art [367]

The summit of Mount Everest has an average pressure around 30 kPa. ... A barometer also measures variations in atmospheric pressure. As altitude increases, the air becomes thinner, the density of air decreases, and the pressure of the air decreases as well.
