All electromagnetic waves travel in vacuum at the speed of c=3×10^8 m/s. Find the wavelength of microwaves of frequency 10^10 Hz

1 answer:

5 0

Recall the wave equation, $c=f\lambda$ where c is the speed of the wave (m/s), f is the frequency of the wave (Hz) and λ is the wavelength of the wave (m).

$c=f\lambda \Rightarrow \lambda = \frac{c}{f}$ so $\lambda = \frac{3 \times 10^8}{10^{10}} = 0.03 \text{m}$

When you run, your nose is moving in a straight line relative to a stone on the ground, and it's also moving back and forth relative to your left foot. But it's at rest relative to your ear.

well it depends on the wind and gravity and the side the chickens on and the amount of force but if its a simple question then it doesnt roll at all or it rolls forward

Suppose earth's mass increased but earth's diameter didn't change. Describe how the gravitational force between Earth and the ob

zheka24 [161]

Answer:

It increases proportionally

Explanation:

The gravitational force between the Earth and an object on its surface is given by

$F=G\frac{Mm}{R^2}$

where

G is the gravitational constant

M is the Earth's mass

m is the mass of the object

R is the Earth's radius

In this problem, the Earth's mass is increased, while the diameter (and therefore, the radius) doesn't change. From the equation, we see that the gravitational force is directly proportional to the Earth's mass: therefore, if the mass is increased, the force will increase as well by the same proportion (for example, if the mass is doubled, the force will double as well)
