As per the question the wavelength of the microwave is given as 3.52 mm.

we are asked to calculate the frequency of the wave.

we know that microwave is a electromagnetic wave.

As per Clark Maxwell's electromagnetic theory ,every electromagnetic wave moves with a velocity equal to the velocity of light in vacuum and that is equal to 3×10^8 m/s.

From the equation of the wave,we know that velocity of wave is the product of frequency and wavelength.

Mathematically wave velocity $v=f*\lambda$ where f is the frequency of the wave and $\lambda$ is the wavelength.

As per the question $\lambda=3.52 mm$

$= 3.52*10^{-3} m$

Here $v=c=3*10^{8} m/s$

Hence frequency of the wave $f=\frac{v}{\lambda}$

$=\frac{3*10^{8} }{3.52*10^{-3} } s^{-1}$

$=0.852272727272*10^{11} Hz$

Here Hertz [Hz] is the unit of frequency.

<h2>Further Explanation </h2><h3>A wave </h3>

A wave is a transmission of a disturbance. It involves transmission of energy from one point which is the source to another point.
Waves may be classified depending on the need for a transmission medium or based on the vibration of particles relative to the direction of wave motion.

Waves may be either transverse or longitudinal based on the direction of wave motion relative to the vibration of particles
Additionally waves may be classified as either electromagnetic wave or mechanical based on the need for a transmission medium.

<h3>Electromagnetic waves </h3>

Electromagnetic waves are types of waves that do not require a material medium for transmission.

All waves of the electromagnetic spectrum are electromagnetic transverse waves that do not require a material medium for transmission.
They include; radio waves, microwaves, infrared, visible light, ultra-violet, x-rays, and gamma rays.
All waves of the electromagnetic spectrum travel with a speed of light, 3.0 x10^8 m/s.

Therefore, the speed of microwave is 3.0 x 10^8 m/s

<h3>Relationship between velocity, frequency, and wavelength of a wave. </h3>

Velocity, frequency and wavelength are related such that;

Velocity = frequency x wavelength

c = f x λ

Therefore; to get frequency;

f = c/λ

c = 3.0 x 10^8 m/s

λ = 3.52 mm or 3.52 x 10^-3 m

Thus;

f = (3.0 x 10^8 m/s)/(3.52 x 10^-3 m)

= 8.522 x 10^10 Hz

Therefore, the frequency of a microwave with a wavelength of 3.52 mm is 8.522 x 10^10 Hz .

There is a distinction between average speed and the magnitude of average velocity. Give an example that illustrates the differe

Usimov [2.4K]

An example that illustrates the difference is the circular motion

Explanation:

Let's start by reminding the definition of the two quantities:

- Speed is a scalar quantity that tells "how fast" an object is moving, regardless of its direction of motion.

Speed can be calculate as:

$speed = \frac{d}{t}$

where:

d is the distance travelled

t is the time taken

- Velocity is instead a vector quantity, given by:

$velocity = \frac{d}{t}$

where;

d is the displacement of the object (displacement is a a vector connecting the initial position to the final position of motion)

t is the time taken

Since it is a vector, velocity has both a magnitude and a direction, therefore it also takes into account the direction of motion of the object.

For an object in motion in a straight line, speed and velocity are the same. However, this is not always the case.

In fact, an example of motion in which the two quantities are different is the circular motion. Consider for example the object making one complete revolution along the circle. Therefore, its average speed is the ratio between the length of the perimeter (the distance) divided by the time taken:

$speed = \frac{2\pi r}{t}$

where r is the radius of the circle.

However, the displacement of the object is zero (because the object returns to the starting point), and so the average velocity is also zero:

$velocity = \frac{0}{t}=0$

Which statement BEST explains the relationship between mass and weight.A.mass increases, weight is decreases.B.mass increases, w

Dmitry_Shevchenko [17]

Weight is caused by the influence of gravity on matter/mass. Weight is given by the formulae;

Weight = Mass * Gravitational acceleration

On earth, the gravitation acceleration is a constant 10m/s2

Therefore the weight will be influenced by mass of the object in a direct relationship.

An increase in mass will cause a proportionate increase in weight.

Explanation:

Gravity is not constant across the universe with larger celestial bodies have a greater gravitational pull. Therefore an object with the same mass on earth may weigh differently on another celestial body with different gravitational acceleration. An example is the Moon. Due to the fact that the Moon has approximately ¹/3 of earth’s gravitational force, astronauts weight ¹/3 times less on the moon than on earth.

Which of the following expressions will have units of kg⋅m/s2? Select all that apply, where x is position, v is velocity, m is m

netineya [11]

Answer: $m \frac{d}{dt}v_{(t)}$

Explanation:

In the image attached with this answer are shown the given options from which only one is correct.

The correct expression is:

$m \frac{d}{dt}v_{(t)}$

Because, if we derive velocity $v_{t}$ with respect to time $t$ we will have acceleration $a$ , hence:

$m \frac{d}{dt}v_{(t)}=m.a$

Where $m$ is the mass with units of kilograms ( $kg$ ) and $a$ with units of meter per square seconds $\frac{m}{s}^{2}$ , having as a result $kg\frac{m}{s}^{2}$

The other expressions are incorrect, let’s prove it:

$\frac{m}{2} \frac{d}{dx}{(v_{(x)})}^{2}=\frac{m}{2} 2v_{(x)}^{2-1}=mv_{(x)}$ This result has units of $kg\frac{m}{s}$

$m\frac{d}{dt}a_{(t)}=ma_{(t)}^{1-1}=m$ This result has units of $kg$

$m\int x_{(t)} dt= m \frac{{(x_{(t)})}^{1+1}}{1+1}+C=m\frac{{(x_{(t)})}^{2}}{2}+C$ This result has units of $kgm^{2}$ and $C$ is a constant

$m\frac{d}{dt}x_{(t)}=mx_{(t)}^{1-1}=m$ This result has units of $kg$

$m\frac{d}{dt}v_{(t)}=mv_{(t)}^{1-1}=m$ This result has units of $kg$

$\frac{m}{2}\int {(v_{(t)})}^{2} dt= \frac{m}{2} \frac{{(v_{(t)})}^{2+1}}{2+1}+C=\frac{m}{6} {(v_{(t)})}^{3}+C$ This result has units of $kg \frac{m^{3}}{s^{3}}$ and $C$ is a constant

$m\int a_{(t)} dt= \frac{m {a_{(t)}}^{2}}{2}+C$ This result has units of $kg \frac{m^{2}}{s^{4}}$ and $C$ is a constant

$\frac{m}{2} \frac{d}{dt}{(v_{(x)})}^{2}=0$ because $v_{(x)}$ is a constant in this derivation respect to $t$

$m\int v_{(t)} dt= \frac{m {v_{(t)}}^{2}}{2}+C$ This result has units of $kg \frac{m^{2}}{s^{2}}$ and $C$ is a constant
