How does light travel differently from sound

Physics
1 answer:
Serhud [2]4 years ago
4 0
Answer: Light waves move faster than sound waves, which are longitudinal.
Light waves can also travel through space.

Sound waves, being longitudinal, are slower than light waves, and do not travel through space.

Which is the wavelength of a wave that travels at a speed of 3.0 × 10^8 m/s and has a frequency of 1.5 × 10^16 Hz?
k0ka [10]

Answer:

2 x 10^-8

Explanation:

the formula of wavelength is

the speed divided by frequency

so you have the speed given = 3.0x10^8m/s

and frequency = 1.5×10^16 Hz

so wavelength = 3.0x10^8m/s / 1.5x10^16 Hz

A 2100 kg car starts from rest and accelerates at a rate of 2.6 m/s2 for 4.0 s. Assume that the force acting to accelerate the c
Reika [66]
When the system is experiencing a uniformly accelerated motion, there are a set of equations to work from. In this case, work is energy which consist solely of kinetic energy. That is, 1/2*m*v2. First, let's find the final velocity.

a = (vf - v0)/t
2.6 = (vf - 0)/4
vf = 10.4 m/s

Then W = 1/2*(2100 kg)*(10.4 m/s)2
W = 113568 J = 113.57 kJ

Kaylis [27]
<span>You are given a QL = -26 μC charge that is placed on the x-axis at x = - 0.2 m and a QR = 26 μC charge that is placed at x = +0.2 m. The answers are:

The x-component of the electric field at x = 0 m and y = 0.2 m is 3.
The y-component of the electric field at x = 0 m and y = 0.2 m is 2.
