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).

Tems11 [23]

Answer:

5.3 m/s

Explanation:

First, find the time it takes for him to fall 7m.

y = y₀ + v₀ t + ½ at²

0 = 7 + (0) t + ½ (-9.8) t²

0 = 7 − 4.9 t²

t ≈ 1.20 s

Now find the velocity he needs to travel 6.3m in that time.

x = x₀ + v₀ t + ½ at²

6.3 = 0 + v₀ (1.20) + ½ (0) (1.20)²

v₀ ≈ 5.27 m/s

Rounded to two significant figures, the man must run with a speed of 5.3 m/s.

A physics professor demonstrates the Doppler effect by tying a 600 Hz sound generator to a 1.0-m-long rope and whirling it aroun
cluponka [151]

Answer:Highest frequency  =618.89Hz

Lowest frequency=582.22Hz

Explanation:

 The linear velocity of a sound generator  is related to angular velocity and is given as

Vs = rω  where

r = the radius of circular path = 1.0 m

ω is the angular velocity of the sound generator. = 100 rpm

1 rev/min = 0.10472 rad/s

100rpm =10.472 rad/ s

Vs = rω

= 1m x 10.472rad/ s=  10.472m/s

A) Highest frequency  heard by a student in the classroom = Maximum frequency. Using the Doppler effect formulae,

f max = (v/ v-vs) fs

Where , v is the speed of the sound in air at 20 degrees celcius =

343 metres per second

vs is the linear velocity of the sound generator=10.472m/s

fs is the frequency of the sound generator= 600 Hz

f max = (343/ 343 - 10.472) x 600

=343/332.528) x600

=618.89Hz

B) Lowest frequency  heard by a student in the classroom = Minimum frequency

f min = (v/ v+vs) fs

(343/ 343 + 10.472) x 600

=343/353.472) x 600

=582.22hz

There is a species of bamboo that can grow 36 inches per day. If a plant grew at this rate and was measured at 40 inches initial
LekaFEV [45]

Answer:

It will take the plant 4\frac{4}{9} days or 4.44 days to grow to a height of 200 inches tall.

Explanation:

From the question, the rate at which the species of the bamboo tree grows is 36 inches per day.

To determine how long it would take a plant 40 inches tall initially to grow at this rate (that is, 36 inches per day) to a height of 200 inches.

This means we will calculate the number of days it will take the plant to grow additional 160 inches ( 200 inches - 40 inches) at this rate.

Now,

If the plant grows 36 inches in 1 day

then it will grow 160 inches in x days

x = (160 inches × 1 day) / 36 inches

x = 160 / 36

x = 4\frac{4}{9} days or 4.44 days

Hence, it will take the plant 4\frac{4}{9} days or 4.44 days to grow to a height of 200 inches tall.
