If they are identical, then their masses are the same. The speeds are the same. KE has no direction.
Total KE = 1/2 m v^2 + 1/2 mv^2 = mv^2

The frequency of a microwave is 1.2 x 10^9 hertz. what is the wavelength of the given problem.

Olenka [21]

Answer:

0.25 m

Explanation:

Electromagnetic waves consist of oscillations of the electric and the magnetic field, oscillating 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:

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

Microwave is an example of electromagnetic waves.

The relationship between wavelength and frequency for an electromagnetic wave is:

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

where

$\lambda$ is the wavelength

$c=3.0\cdot 10^8 m/s$ is the speed of light

f is the frequency

For the microwave in this problem,

$f=1.2\cdot 10^9 Hz$

So its wavelength is

$\lambda=\frac{3.0\cdot 10^8}{1.2\cdot 10^9}=0.25 m$
