This problem has been solved!See the answerCommunication with submerged submarines via radio waves is difficult because seawater

is conductive and absorbs electromagnetic waves. Penetration into the ocean is greater at longer wavelengths, so the United States has radio installations that transmit at 76Hz for submarine communications.What is the approximate wavelength of those extremely low-frequency waves?500 km1000 km2000 km4000 km

Answer:

4000 km

Explanation:

as we know velocity of electromagnetic wave is c

c = 3 * 10^8 m/s

frequency  given (f) = 76 Hz

wavelength ?

using

c =fλ

λ =   \frac{c}{f}

λ =  \frac{3 * 10^8}{76}  ≈4000 km

 so final answer λ = 4000km

Which of the following wavelengths will produce standing waves on a string that is 3.5 m long?
denpristay [2]

In a string of length L, the wavelength of the n-th harmonic of the standing wave produced in the string is given by:

\lambda=\frac{2}{n} L


The length of the string in this problem is L=3.5 m, therefore the wavelength of the 1st harmonic of the standing wave is:

\lambda=\frac{2}{1} \cdot 3.5 m=7.0 m


The wavelength of the 2nd harmonic is:

\lambda=\frac{2}{2} \cdot 3.5 m=3.5 m


The wavelength of the 4th harmonic is:

\lambda=\frac{2}{4} \cdot 3.5 m=1.75 m


It is not possible to find any integer n such that \lambda=5 m, therefore the correct options are A, B and D.
