Answer:

The period of this wave es 10 seconds.

Explanation:

The wavelength is the minimum distance between two points of the wave that is in the same state of vibration.

Frequency is the number of vibrations that occur in a unit of time.

The speed of propagation is the speed with which the wave propagates in the middle. Relate wavelength (λ) and frequency (f) inversely proportionally using the following equation: v = f * λ.

The period is the time that elapses between the emission of two consecutive waves. In other words, it is the time it takes for a complete wave to pass through a reference point. The period (T) is simply the inverse of the frequency (f):

$T=\frac{1}{f}$

The units of the period are the seconds (s)

Then the propagation speed will be v = λ / T (Speed = wavelength/period)

Then T= λ / v

$Period = \frac{speed}{wavelength} = \frac{330 \frac{m}{s} }{33 m}$

Period (T)= 10 s

The period of this wave es 10 seconds.

im no scientist but im pretty sure cool stars are warm colors and hot stars are cool colors, so red would be more cooler than blue.

In a discussion person A is talking 1.2 dB louder than person B, and person C is talking 3.2 dB louder than person A. What is th

liberstina [14]

Answer: 3.84dB

Explanation:

Since person A is talking 1.2dB louder than B, we will have

A = 1.2B... (1)

Similarly, person C is talking 3.2 dB louder than person A, we have

C = 3.2A... (2)

From equation 1, B = A/1.2... (3)

To get the ratio of the sound intensity of person C to the sound intensity of person B, we will divide equation 2 by 3 to give

C/B = 3.2A/{A/1.2}

C/B = 3.2A×1.2/A

C/B = 3.2×1.2

C/B = 3.84dB

The stopwatch used by a student to measure velocity of a pulse in a slinky was of least count 0.1 second. He stops the stopwatch

sweet-ann [11.9K]

Least count of the pulse stopwatch is given by

$\Delta t = 0.1 s$

this means each division of the stopwatch will measure 0.1 s of time

After 3 journeys from one end to other we can see that total time that is measured here is shown by the clock as 52nd division

So here total time is given as

Time = (Number of division) (Least count)

now we will have

$T = 52 \times 0.1s$

$T = 5.2 s$

Which of the following statements about X-rays and radio waves is not true? Which of the following statements about X-rays and r

Lapatulllka [165]

Answer:

X-rays travel through space faster than radio waves.

Explanation:

Electromagnetic waves consist of oscillations of the electric and the magnetic field in a plane perpendicular to the direction of motion the wave.

All electromagnetic waves travel in a vacuum always at the same speed, the speed of light, whose value is:

$c=3.0\cdot 10^8 m/s$

Electromagnetic waves are classified into 7 different types, according to their wavelength/frequency. From shortest to longest wavelength (and so, from highest to lowest frequency), we have:

Gamma rays

X rays

Ultraviolet

Visible light

Infrared radiation

Microwaves

Radio waves

Now we can analyze the 4 statements:

X-rays and radio waves are both forms of light, or electromagnetic radiation --> TRUE. They are both types of electromagnetic waves.

X-rays have higher frequency than radio waves. --> TRUE, as we can see from the table above.

X-rays have shorter wavelengths than radio waves. --> TRUE, as we can see from the table above.

X-rays travel through space faster than radio waves. --> FALSE: all electromagnetic waves travel in space at the same speed, the speed of light.
