Answer:

Ф = 142.674 degree

Ф = 2.490131057 rad

wavelength  = 0.396316 λ

Explanation:

Given data

combined wave having an amplitude 0.64 times

to find out

answer in degrees,  radians, and fraction of the wavelength

solution

let us consider these two wave equation

Asin(ωt) and the Asin (ωt + Ф)

and here Ф is phase difference

so we say

resultant wave is

Y = Asin(ωt) + Asin (ωt + Ф) =  Asin(ωt + Ф/2) cos ( Ф/2)

so Y = A' sin(ωt + Ф/2)

we know that here resultant wave amplitude is 2A cos ( Ф/2)

so

put A= 0.64 A

so 2Acos ( Ф/2)  = 0.64 A

and Ф/2  = 71.3370

Ф = 142.674 degree

Ф = 2.490131057 rad

so wavelength is  2.490131057 /  2π

wavelength  = 0.396316 λ

Find the wavelength of the balmer series spectral line corresponding to n = 15.
Anna71 [15]

Answer:

371.2 mm

Explanation:

The Balmer series of spectral lines is obtained from the formula

1/λ = R(1/2² -1/n²) where λ = wavelength, R = Rydberg's constant = 1.097 × 10⁷ m⁻¹

when n = 15

1/λ = 1.097 × 10⁷ m⁻¹(1/2² -1/15²)

    = 1.097 × 10⁷ m⁻¹(1/4 -1/225)

    = 1.097 × 10⁷ m⁻¹(0.25 - 0.0044)

    = 1.097 × 10⁷ m⁻¹ 0.245556

    = 2.693 10⁶ m⁻¹

So,

λ  = 1/2.693 10⁶ m⁻¹

    = 0.3712 10⁻⁶ m

    = 371.2 mm

Electronic flash units for camera contain a capacitor for storing the energy used to produce the flash. In one such unit, the fl
nadezda [96]

Answer:

420J

Explanation:

Power is the time rate of change in energy. Power is the ratio of energy to time. The S.I unit of power is in watts.

Given that the flash lasts for 1/675 s, power output is 2.7 * 10⁵ W. Hence:

Power = Energy / time

Substituting:

2.7 * 10⁵ W = Energy / (1/675)

Energy = 2.7 * 10⁵ W * 1/675 = 400J

Therefore the energy emitted as light is 400J.

Since the conversion of electric energy to light is 95% efficient, hence the energy stored as electrical energy is:

Energy(capacitor) = 5% of 400J + 400J = 0.05*400 + 400

Energy(capacitor) = 420J

- Find the velocity of a wave in the ocean if the wavelength is 2.0m and the frequency is 0.56Hz.
pentagon [3]
1.12 m/s is the velocity. You can get the velocity of a wave by multiplying the frequency and wavelength together. The product is the velocity.

Consider a large spring, hanging vertically, with spring constant k = 3220 N/m. If the spring is stretched 25.0 cm from equilibr
Olegator [25]

Answer:

m = 82.1 kg

Explanation:

For this exercise we must use Hook's law that states that the force exerted by a spring is proportional to the displacement

        Fe = -k x

Let's use Newton's second law to establish equilibrium, the elastic force up and the body weight down

       Fe - W = 0

       Fe = W = mg

       k x = m g

       m = k x / g

Let's reduce the distance to SI units

       x = 25 cm (1 m / 100cm) = 0.250 m

      m = 3220 0.250 /9.8

      m = 82.1 kg
