While rotating around Earth the Moon also rotates around it's axis. These two rotations have almost same duration (27.3 and 27 days respectively). This is the reason why we always see the same side of Moon.

The dark part of a Moon is the part where there is night on the Moon, meaning there is no sunlight visible. This dark part depends on the Moon's position relative to Earth and Sun. The change in size is due to part of Moon-day. Dark part of Moon has night, bright part has day and the boundary has either sunrise or sunset.

Answer:

Objects; waves.

Explanation:

Waves interact with objects and other waves. Thus, waves are used on objects such as mobile phones and can be transformed from one form to another.

There are various types of waves in our physical environment such as gamma rays, x-rays, ultraviolet waves, radio waves etc.

Radio waves can be defined as an electromagnetic wave that has its frequency ranging from 30 GHz to 300 GHz and its wavelength between 1mm and 3000m. Therefore, radio waves are a series of repetitive valleys and peaks that are typically characterized of having the longest wavelength in the electromagnetic spectrum.

Basically, as a result of radio waves having long wavelengths, they are mainly used in long-distance communications such as the carriage and transmission of data. Some examples of communication technologies that uses radio waves are radio set, mobile phones, television etc.

A traveling periodic wave passes a point of observation. At this point, the time between successive crests is 0.2s. What can you
Aleks04 [339]

The time between the successive crusts will give the time period of the wave.

So, the time period, T of the given wave is 0.2 s.

The frequency of a wave is the reciprocal of its time period. That is,

Frequency, ν = \frac{1}{T}

= \frac{1}{0.2}

= 5 Hz

Thus, the frequency of the given travelling periodic wave is 5 Hz.
