A big part of the reason that mirrors are seldom if ever used to generate
electricity is the simple fact that there is no way to generate electricity using
mirrors.  They are as useless for the purpose as smoke is, although there are
those who have used both items simultaneously to create the impression that
they have succeeded in that attempt.

Water waves in a small tank are .06 m long. They pass a given point at a rate of 14.8 waves every three seconds. What is the spe
snow_lady [41]

Answer:

Speed = 0.296m/2

Period = 0.203 s

Explanation:

If by 'long' you mean the wavelength of the waves, then the wavelength \lambda=0.06m.

The frequency f of the waves is 14.8 waves every 3 seconds or

f=14.8/3 =4.33Hz.

Now the relationship between wavelength \lambda, frequency f and speed v of the waves is:

v=\lambda f

We put in the values \lambda=0.06m and f=4.933Hz and get:

\boxed{v=0.06*4.922=0.296m/s}

Now the period T is just the inverse of the frequency, or

T=\frac{1}{f}

\boxed{T=\frac{1}{4.933}=0.203\:seconds }
