As the wavelength of an electromagnetic wave ___ the frequency of the wave ________.

Physics
1 answer:
adoni [48]3 years ago
8 0

Answer:

As the wavelength of an electromagnetic wave _decrease__ the frequency of the wave _increase_______.

Explanation:

What is the relationship between frequency and wavelength?

Wavelength and frequency of light are closely related. The higher the frequency, the shorter the wavelength. Because all light waves move through a vacuum at the same speed, the number of wave crests passing by a given point in one second depends on the wavelength.

That number, also known as the frequency, will be larger for a short-wavelength wave than for a long-wavelength wave. The equation that relates wavelength and frequency is:

V= fλ

where v= velocity

           f= frequency

            λ = wavelength

⇒ f = v/λ  

also f ∝ 1/λ

For electromagnetic radiation, the speed is equal to the speed of light, c, and the equation becomes:

C= fλ

where c= Speed of light

           f= frequency

            λ = wavelength

⇒ f = v/λ  

also f ∝ 1/λ

What is the voltage across an 8.00 nm–thick membrane if the electric field strength across it is 5.50 MV/m?
polet [3.4K]

Answer:

0.044 V

Explanation:

E = Electric field = 5.5\times 10^6\ V/m

d = Thickness of membrane = 8 nm

When the electric field strength is multiplied by the membrane thickness we get the voltage

Voltage across a gap is given by

V=Ed\\\Rightarrow V=5.5\times 10^6\times 8\times 10^{-9}\\\Rightarrow V=0.044\ V

The voltage across the membrane is 0.044 V

An astronaut with a mass of 91 kg is 0.30 m above the moons surface. The astronauts potential energy is 46 J. Calculate the free
Blababa [14]

Answer:

the free-fall acceleration on the moon is 1.68 m/s^2

Explanation:

recall the formula for the gravitational potential energy (under acceleration of gravity "g"):

PE = m * g * h

replacing with our values for the problem:

46 J = 91 * g * 0.3

solve for the "g" on the Moon:

g = 46 / (91 * 0.3)

g = 1.68  m/s^2

A proton is moving toward a second, stationary proton. What happens as the protons get closer?
MatroZZZ [7]

Answer:

A. Kinetic energy is converted to electric potential energy, and the proton moves more slowly.

Explanation:

When a moving proton is brought close to a stationary one, the kinetic energy of the moving one is converted to electric potential  and the proton moves more slowly.

Kinetic energy is the energy due to the motion of a body. A moving proton will possess this form of energy.

Two protons according to coulombs law will repel each other with an electrostatic force because they both have similar charges. This will increase their electric potential energy of both of them.

Potential energy is the energy at rest of a body. As it increases, the motion of a body will be slower and it will tend towards being stationary.
