Explain why radio and television stations use different frequencies to broadcast programs.

I'm not sure exactly what you're asking.

It could be


==> Why do radio stations use different frequencies from TV stations ?


or it could be


==> Why don't all radio stations, or all TV stations, use the same frequency ?


Radio and TV can't coexist among each other in the same "band"

of frequencies, because they use different amounts of "space" on

the dial. One analog TV channel uses enough dial space for about

600 AM radio stations, or 30 FM radio stations ! That's one click on

the TV channel knob !

So if they were all jumbled up together on the same dial and you

wanted to tune your radio from one AM station to another, you

might have to crank through enough space for 600 radio stations ...

or even 1200 or 1800 of them ... to go to the AM signal you want.

And maybe even worse than that ! I'm sure you've never heard what

a TV signal SOUNDS like on a radio. It is horrendous, and it is loud !

It sounds like a thousand cats shrieking at each other, and it never stops.

That's another good reason to move the TV transmissions to frequencies

where radios will never hear them. If radios just randomly tuned in to a

TV picture signal every now and then, a lot of people would be shocked

out of their socks. They would stop listening to radio, and thousands of

advertisers would not like that.


For the second question ...

OK, so we don't mix radio and TV in the same band of frequencies.

But why does each station need its own frequency ? Why not just

put every radio station on one frequency, and every TV station on

a single frequency that's different from the radio frequency ?

The answer is: It's because people don't want to listen to two radio

stations at the same time, or watch two TV movies at the same time.

We like to make our choice, and then watch them or listen to them

one at a time. And FREQUENCY is the only way our radios and TVs

know how to pick out ONE and ignore all the others.

If there are two, or 5 or 10 stations all on the same frequency within

10 or 20 miles from you, then when you tune your radio to that frequency,

you HEAR two, or 5 or 10, songs, church services, newscasts, political

speeches, or commercials, all at the same time.

So if all radio stations were on the same frequency, or all TV stations

were all on the same frequency, then any time you turned on your

radio or TV, you'd see or hear all of them together. Radio and TV

would completely lose their entertainment value, everybody would

give up watching and listening, and once again ... thousands of

advertisers would not like that.


After all, advertising is the main reason why we have so much radio and TV at all. The advertiser buys, the broadcaster sells, and YOUR eyes and ears are the product.

Interference is avoided when different frequencies are used by radio and television stations.

Interference may degrade the quality of the signals.

A. What is the frequency of blue light that has a wavelength of 450 nm?
erastova [34]

Answer

a)Given,

Wavelength of blue light = 450 n m = 450 x 10⁻⁹ m

 Speed of light = 3 x 10⁸ m/s

we know,

       c = \nu \lambda

       \nu = \dfrac{c}{\lambda}

       \nu = \dfrac{3\times 10^8}{450\times 10^{-9}}

      \nu = 6.67 \times 10^{14}\ Hz

b)Given,

Wavelength of red light = 650 n m = 650 x 10⁻⁹ m

 Speed of light = 3 x 10⁸ m/s

we know,

       c = \nu \lambda

       \nu = \dfrac{c}{\lambda}

       \nu = \dfrac{3\times 10^8}{650\times 10^{-9}}

      \nu = 4.62 \times 10^{14}\ Hz

A historical society is testing an old cannon. They
sveta [45]

Answer:

26.2 m/s

Explanation:

We can find the speed of the cannonball just by analyzing its vertical motion. In fact, the initial vertical velocity is

u_y = u sin \theta (1)

where u is the initial speed and \theta = 45.0^{\circ} is the angle of projection.

We can therefore use the following suvat equation for the vertical motion of the ball:

v_y = u_y + at

where v_y is the vertical velocity at time t, and a=g=-9.8 m/s^2 is the acceleration of gravity. The time of flight is 3.78 s, so we know that the ball reaches its maximum height at half this time:

t=\frac{3.78}{2}=1.89 s

And at the maximum height, the vertical velocity is zero:

v_y=0

Substituting these values, we find the initial vertical velocity:

u_y = v_y - at = 0-(-9.8)(1.89)=18.5 m/s

And using eq.(1) we now find the initial speed:

u=\frac{u_y}{sin \theta}=\frac{18.5}{sin 45.0^{\circ}}=26.2 m/s

While some aspects are based on ____, body composition is largely a result of ____,
grigory [225]

Answer : Option C) Heredity; Lifestyle.

Explanation : While some aspects are based on heredity, body composition is largely a result of Lifestyle.

Even though it is believed that 80 percent of the aspects of a human body is heredity, but an individual body composition is largely influenced by the result of the lifestyle an individual lives.

Russ makes the diagram below to organize his notes about how Newton’s first law describes objects at equilibrium.
tiny-mole [99]
Newton's first law states that an object at rest remains so until acted upon by external forces or an object in motion does so without accelerating (that is, at constant speed).

Therefore, x can only describe an object coming to rest. That, the last option is more correct.
