Answer:

a). 100.2 MHz (typical frequency for FM radio broadcasting)

The wavelength of a frequency of 100.2 Mhz is 2.99m.

b. 1070 kHz (typical frequency for AM radio broadcasting) (assume four significant figures)

The wavelength of a frequency of 1070 khz is 280.3 m.

c. 835.6 MHz (common frequency used for cell phone communication)

The wavelength of a frequency of 835.6 Mhz is 0.35m.

Explanation:

The wavelength can be determined by the following equation:

c = \lambda \cdot \nu  (1)

Where c is the speed of light, \lambda is the wavelength and \nu is the frequency.  

Notice that since it is electromagnetic radiation, equation 1 can be used. Remember that light propagates in the form of an electromagnetic wave.

<em>a). 100.2 MHz (typical frequency for FM radio broadcasting)</em>

Then, \lambda can be isolated from equation 1:

\lambda = \frac{c}{\nu} (2)

since the value of c is 3x10^{8}m/s. It is necessary to express the frequency in units of hertz.

\nu = 100.2 MHz . \frac{1x10^{6}Hz}{1MHz} ⇒ 100200000Hz

But 1Hz = s^{-1}

\nu = 100200000s^{-1}

Finally, equation 2 can be used:

\lambda = \frac{3x10^{8}m/s}{100200000s^{-1}}

\lambda = 2.99 m

Hence, the wavelength of a frequency of 100.2 Mhz is 2.99m.

<em>b. 1070 kHz (typical frequency for AM radio broadcasting) (assume four significant figures)</em>

<em> </em>

\nu = 1070kHz . \frac{1000Hz}{1kHz} ⇒ 1070000Hz

But  1Hz = s^{-1}

\nu = 1070000s^{-1}

Finally, equation 2 can be used:

\lambda = \frac{3x10^{8}m/s}{1070000s^{-1}}

\lambda = 280.3 m

Hence, the wavelength of a frequency of 1070 khz is 280.3 m.

<em>c. 835.6 MHz (common frequency used for cell phone communication) </em>

\nu = 835.6MHz . \frac{1x10^{6}Hz}{1MHz} ⇒ 835600000Hz

But  1Hz = s^{-1}

\nu = 835600000s^{-1}

Finally, equation 2 can be used:

\lambda = \frac{3x10^{8}m/s}{835600000s^{-1}}

\lambda = 0.35 m

Hence, the wavelength of a frequency of 835.6 Mhz is 0.35m.

Answer:

circuit breaker

Explanation:

A circuit breaker is a device used for electrical safety. It consists of a switch designed to protect an electrical circuit from damage that may result from heating due to overload in the circuit.

Its basic function is to interrupt current flow through its switch that consists of metal stripe which bends when it gets hot.

Fuse has similar action with circuit breaker, the only difference is that fuse can only be used once because it melts when it gets hot.

Therefore, the correct answer is "circuit breaker"
