Why does the frequency of a wave increase as the wavelength decreases?

Physics

Correct option A

The wave speed remains constant.So if the frequency increases then wavelength increases and if frequency decreases then wavelength increases to maintain the constant wave speed.

Answer: The correct answer is " because the wave speed remains constant".

Explanation:

The expression of the wavelength in terms of the frequency is as follows;

\lambda =\frac{c}{f}

Here, c is the speed of the light, f is the frequency of the wave and \lambda is the wavelength of the wave.

The wavelength of the wave is inversely proportional to the frequency of the wave as the speed of the wave remains constant.

If the wavelength of the wave decreases then the frequency of the wave increases.

Therefore, the frequency of a wave increases as the wavelength decreases because the wave speed remains constant.

The correct option is (A).

Explanation:

When you calculate the SLOPE of a line segment, what does the SLOPE represent? (Choose all that apply) the Distance traveled the Displacement the Velocity the Acceleration None of the above

The slope of any time graph can not give you distance or displacement except for position - time graph.

When you plot either distance or displacement against time, that is, distance time graph or displacement time graph, you can get speed or velocity as the slope of the line segment.

You can only acceleration as a slope in a line of best fit if velocity is plotted against time. That is, in a velocity time graph.

Schach [20]

Answer:

1 cm⁻¹ =1.44K  1 ev = 1.16 10⁴ K

Explanation:

The relationship between temperature and thermal energy is

     E = K T

The relationship of the speed of light

    c =λ f = f / ν          1/λ= ν

The Planck equation is

          E = h f

Let's start the transformations

     c = f λ = f / ν        

     f = c ν

     E = h f

     E = h c ν

     E = KT

     h c ν = K T

     T = h c ν  / K =( h c / K) ν

Let's replace the constants

     h = 6.63 10⁻³⁴ J s

     c = 3 10⁸ m / s

     K = 1.38  10⁻²³ J / K

 

     v = 1 cm-1 (100 cm / 1 m) = 10² m-1

   

     T = (6.63 10⁻³⁴ 3. 10⁸ / 1.38 10⁻²³) 1 10²

     A = h c / K = 1,441 10⁻²

     T =  1.44K

     ν = 103 cm⁻¹ = 103 10² m

     T = (6.63 10⁻³⁴ 3. 10⁸ / 1.38 10⁻²³) 103 10²

     T = 148K

1 Rydberg = 1.097 10 7 m

As we saw at the beginning the λ=1 / v

     T = (h c / K) 1 /λ

     T = 1,441 10⁻²  1 / 1,097 10⁷

     T = 1.3 10⁻⁹ K

    E = 1Ev (1.6 10⁻¹⁹ J /1 eV) = 1.6 10⁻¹⁹ J

    E = KT

    T = E/K

    T = 1.6 10⁻¹⁹ /1.38 10⁻²³

    T = 1.16 10⁴ K

Which has more momentum, a speeding baseball or an ocean liner at rest in a harbor?
uranmaximum [27]
Momentum is (mass) times (speed), so nothing that is at rest has any momentum. If the battleship is at rest, then a mosquito in flight, a leaf falling from a tree, and your speedy baseball each have more momentum than the ship has.
