The airplane's engines give it a certain speed through the air, called it's "airspeed". If the airplane's airspeed is greater than the windspeed, it will move forward over the ground. If it's airspeed is less than the windspeed, it will move backward over the ground. If it's airspeed is exactly equal to the windspeed, it will hover motionless over the ground.

A plane has more mass in it. Also, the engine is very strong which it makes the plane able to push through the wind. When the wind is pushing, it goes by it because of the engine.

Celcius is a bigger measurement than fahrenheit. Comparable to a 2-1 ratio, the two being celcius. So about 3 degrees above normal temp in celcius, would be about 10-11 degrees in fahrenheit.

To clearly see an image, the wavelength used must be at most 1/4 of the size of the object that is to be imaged. what frequency
LuckyWell [14K]
From the statement, the wavelength should be 1.6 cm * 1/4 = 0.4 cm. Then, we use the wave equation formula. The frequency is equal to the speed of light divided by the wavelength. First, let's use the SI units.

0.4 cm = 0.004 m

The speed of light is equal to 3 x 10^8 m/s

Frequency = 3 x 10^8 m/s ÷ 0.004 m
Frequency = 7.49 x 10^10 s^-1
