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.

The position of a dragonfly that is flying parallel to the ground is given as a function of time by r⃗ =[2.90m+(0.0900m/s2)t2]i^
Arlecino [84]

The solution for this problem is:

 
r = [(2.90 + 0.0900t²) i - 0.0150t³ j] m/s² 
this is for t in seconds and r in meters 

v = dr/dt = [0.180t i - 0.0450t² j] m/s² 

tan(-36.0º) = -0.0450t² / 0.180t 
0.7265 = 0.25t 
t = 2.91 s is the velocity vector of the insect

telo118 [61]

Answer:

Explanation:

Its definitely an Attractive force since the two charges are Unlike.

From Coulombs Law

F=kq1q2/R²

Given

K=9x10^9

R=1m

q1=2C

q2=-1C

F=(9x10^9 x 2 x -1)/1²

F= - 1.8x10^10N. (Attractive).

puteri [66]

Answer:

(b) Yes, the earth gains momentum but the change in momentum of the earth is much lesser compared to that of everyone in the air. The resistance to motion (inertia of the earth), which is a function of its mass is so great that the earth's acceleration is small in the given time frame.

Explanation:

From Newton's second law which can be stated mathematically as

F = m(v-u)/t = ma.

By Newton's law of gravitation, there is a force between the earth and everyone in the air. This force is responsible for the change in momentum of everyone in the air and this force gives them an acceleration equal to g = 9.80m/s². By Newton's law of gravitation and Newton's third law of motion, this force is also equal to the force exerted by everyone on the earth.

For this to be true,

F = M (everyone) ×a (everyone) = M(earth) × a (earth).

And

a (earth) = {M (everyone) ×a (everyone) }/M (earth)

Then

a (earth) must be lesser than a (everyone) since M(earth) >> M(everyone).

a = change in momentum/ time

Therefore the earth will have a much lesser change in momentum which is the reason we won't notice the earth's movement.

What is the difference in the pitch when you are in front of the car compared to behind the car?
IceJOKER [234]

Answer:The Doppler effect is a change in the frequency of sound waves that occurs when the source of the sound waves is moving relative to a stationary listener.

As the source of sound waves approaches a listener, the sound waves get closer together, increasing their frequency and the pitch of the sound. The opposite happens when the source of sound waves moves away from the listener.
