Answer and Explanation:

It is given that bulb A has the half the resistance as B

WHEN THEY ARE CONNECTED IN SERIES : In series circuit we know that current is same in the whole circuit

The power is given by P=i^2R the expression it is clear that the bulb which has more resistance consume more power as current is same, and the bulb which consume more power will be brightest

It is given that resistance of bulb A is half the resistance of B So bulb A will be dimmest in this case

WHEN THEY ARE CONNECTED IN PARALLEL : In parallel circuit voltage is same across the circuit

The power is given by P=\frac{V^2}{R} from the expression it is clear that the bulb which has least resistance will consume more power and so will be brightest

As the resistance of bulb A is less so it will be brightest in this case

Why do waves with high frequencies have short wavelengths
dalvyx [7]

Answer: because  ν = velocity/λ where ν and λ are the frequency and wavelegth of the wave.

Explanation: In order to explain this problem we have to consider the relationship between frequency and wavelengths which  are related by the velocity of the wave as follows ν*λ=v where ν and λ are the frequency and wavelegth of the wave. These parameters have an inverse proportionality.

Then, ν = velocity/λ

what occurs when a swimmer pushes through the water to swim answers are (A) the water exerts a reaction force on the swimmer (B)
miv72 [106K]
When a swimmer pushes through water to swim they are propelled forward because of the water resistance against the hand and feet. It's A. The water doesn't automatically push the swimmer forward. It releases a reaction after the swimmer pushes through the water.
