Answer:

Explanation:

A law and theory are distinct levels in the scientific method. They do not lead to one another.

A law is a description of an observed phenomenon in the natural world. Laws are always true and do not provide explanations as to why they hold true.

A theory is an explanation of an observed phenomenon. It is usually based on experimental evidence and bounded most time in the limits of available data.

A law cannot be deposed. It is a fact and holds true at all times.
Theories can be discarded even with new technological advancements that provides a new way of study.
This is why it is not a fact.

The microwaves in a certain microwave oven have a wavelength of 12.2 cm. How wide must this oven be so that it will contain five

leva [86]

Answer:

$l = 0.305 \ m$

$f = 3.0*10^{11} \ Hz$

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

The wavelength is $\lambda = 12.2 \ cm = 0.122 \ m$

The number of antinodal planes of the electric field considered is n = 5

The width is mathematically represented as

$l = \frac{ n \lambda}{2}$

$l = \frac{5 * 0.122 }{ 2}$

$l = 0.305 \ m$

Generally the frequency the errors was made is mathematically represented as

$f = \frac{c}{\lamda_k}$

Here c is the speed of light with value $c = 3.0*10^{8} \ m/s$

$\lambda_k$ is the wavelength of the microwave has to be in order for there still to be five antinodal planes of the electric field along the width of the oven, which is mathematically represented as

$\lambda_k = \frac{ \lambda * \frac{0.04}{2} }{n/2}$

$\lambda_k = \frac{0.122*0.02}{5/2}$

$f = \frac{3.0*10^{8}}{0.000976}$

$f = 3.0*10^{11} \ Hz$
