4. A light string is attatched to a heavy rope, and the whole thing is pulled tight. A wave is sent along the light string. When
ale4655 [162]

Answer:

The correct answer to the question is (A)

When it hits the heavy rope, compared to the wave on the string, the wave that propagates along the rope has the same (A) frequency

Explanation:

The speed of a wave in a string is dependent on the square root of the tension ad inversely proportional  to the square root of the linear density of the string. Generally, the speed of a wave through a spring is dependent on the elastic and inertia properties of the string

v = \sqrt{ \frac{T}{\mu } } =  \sqrt{ \frac{T}{m/L } }

Therefore if the linear density of the heavy rope is four times that of light rope the velocity is halved and since

v = f×λ therefore  v/2 = f×λ/2

Therefore the wavelength is halved, however the frequency remains the same as continuity requires the frequency of the incident pulse vibration to be transmitted to the denser medium for the wave to continue as the wave is due to vibrating particles from a source for example

Answer:

Their number should increase

Explanation:

The photoelectric effect is a phenomenon that causes the ejection of electrons from that metal as light shined onto a metal surface. Only certain frequencies of light can cause the ejection of electrons. However, if the frequency of the incident light is too low then no electrons were ejected even if the intensity of the light was very high. If the frequency of the light was higher then electrons were able to be ejected from the metal surface even if the intensity of the light was very low.

According to the accepted wave theory, light of any frequency will cause electrons to be emitted. Kinetic energy emitted by the electrons depends upon the intensity of light.

According to the accepted wave theory, number of electrons being ejected by the metal should increase

Calculate the mass (in g) of 346 cm³ of polythene. The density of polythene is 0.95 g/cm³. Give your answer to 2 decimal places.
IceJOKER [234]

Answer:

M = 328.70g

Explanation:

From the given values:

V = 346 cm³

M of 1 cm³ of Polythene = 0.95g or 95/100g

Solve:

M = <u>(95×346)</u>

10

= <u>3</u><u>2</u><u>8</u><u>7</u><u>0</u>

100

M = 328.70g
