How does changing the wavelength alter the frequency of the wave? & How does altering frequency alter pitch?

2 answers:

4 0

For any wave, the product of (wavelength) x (frequency) is always the same number ... it's the speed of the wave. So if you were able to change the wavelength somehow, the frequency would automatically change, in the opposite direction but by the SAME FACTOR, so that their product would stay the same.

If the frequency of a sound changes (and we're close enough to listen to it), our brain interprets that as a change of pitch, in the same direction as the frequency changed.

Three identical resistors are connected in parallel to a battery. If the current of 12. A flows from the battery, how much curre

Doss [256]

Answer:

4 A

Explanation:

We are given that

$R_1=R_2=R_3=4\Omega$

I=12 A

We have to find the current flowing through each resistor.

We know that in parallel combination current flowing through different resistors are different and potential difference across each resistor is same.

Formula :

$\frac{1}{R}=\frac{1}{R_1}+\frac{1}{R_2}+\frac{1}{R_3}$

Using the formula

$\frac{1}{R}=\frac{1}{4}+\frac{1}{4}+\frac{1}{4}=\frac{3}{4}$

$R=\frac{4}{3}\Omega$

$V=IR$

Substitute the values

$V=12\times \frac{4}{3}=16 V$

$I_1=\frac{V}{R_1}=\frac{16}{4}=4 A$

$I_1=I_2=I_3=4 A$

Hence, current flows through any one of the resistors is 4 A.

List the electromagnetic waves in order of their increasing, wavelength, frequency,wave speed.

Mariana [72]

11.3 Electromagnetic spectrum (ESADK)

EM radiation is classified into types according to the frequency of the wave: these types include, in order of increasing frequency, radio waves, microwaves, infrared radiation, visible light, ultraviolet radiation, X-rays and gamma rays.

In a circuit of 2 lamps in parallel if the current in one lamp is 2a the current in the other lamp is?

ioda

In a circuit having 2 lamps are connected in parallel to a battery

then the two lamps will be having the same potential as the battery

i.e

$V_{1} = V_{2} = V_{battery}$

As per Ohm's law,

$I_{1} = \frac{V_{1}}{R_{1}}$ and $I_{2} = \frac{V}{R_{2} }$

In other words, each lamp's current is inversely related to its individual resistance. We only know the current in one of the bulbs in this specific instance. We would therefore need further information in order to calculate the current in the other light. Therefore, there isn't enough data to make a statement.

Under the assumption that all physical parameters, including temperature, remain constant, Ohm's law asserts that "the voltage across a conductor is directly proportional to the current flowing through it".

In which direction does a bag at rest move when a force of 20 newtons is applied from the right? A. in the direction of the appl

-Dominant- [34]

The correct answer is A. In the direction of applied force. This is because acceleration occurs n the direction of applied force according to Newtons second law of motion which states that the acceleration of a body is directly proportional to the applied force and takes place in the direction of force.
