Answer:

as the period decreases, the frequency and energy of the wave increase

Explanation:

Electromagnetic waves are oscillations of the electric and magnetic fields, described by maxwell's equations, the speed of the wave is called the speed of light

c = λ f

E = E cos (kx - wt)

Angular velocity is related to frequency and period.

w = 2π f = 2π / T

Let's analyze what happens when the wave period decreases, angular velocity and frequency increase.

This increase in frequency is reflected with the Planck equation in wave energy

E = h f

Therefore the wave carries more energy and can lead to stronger interactions with matter.

In summary, as the period decreases, the frequency and energy of the wave increase

Two sound waves (speed 343 m/s) have different wavelengths. The first has a wavelength of 5.72 m, and the second a wavelength of

lys-0071 [83]

Answer:

The beat frequency is 30 Hz

Explanation:

Given;

velocity of the two sound waves, v = 343 m/s

wavelength of the first wave, λ₁ = 5.72 m

wavelength of the second wave, λ₂ = 11.44 m

The frequency of the first wave is calculated as follows;

F₁ = v/λ₁

F₁ = 343 / 5.72

F₁ = 59.97 HZ

The frequency of the second wave is calculated as follows;

F₂ = v/λ₂

F₂ = 343 / 11.44

F₂ = 29.98 Hz

The beat frequency is calculated as;

Fb = F₁ - F₂

Fb = 59.97 HZ - 29.98 Hz

Fb = 30 Hz

anygoal [31]

Answer:

2.24 seconds

Explanation:

xf = xo + vo t + 1/2 at^2

45 = 0 + 15 t + 1/2 (4.5) t^2

2.25 t^2 + 15t - 45 = 0 Quadratic formula shows t = 2.24 seconds

The half-wave rectifier circuit of vs(t) = 170 sin(377t) V and a load resistance R = 15Ω. Determine: a. The average load current

irina1246 [14]

Answer:

a average load current = 11.33 A

b rms load current = 8.02A

c true power =962.64 W

d apparent power =962.64 W

e. power factor cosθ =1

Explanation:

Vs (t) = 170 sin(377t) v

Vm =170v

Vrms = 170/√2 =120.23 v

Im = Vm/R = 170/15 = 11.33 A

Irms = Im/ √2 = 11.33/√2 =8.02A

Resistors are electronic components that consume energy

the power in a resistor is given by P =IVcosθ ; in a resistor cosθ =1

P =IV

The electrical power consumed by a resistance, (R) is called the true or real power

and is obtained by multiplying the rms voltage with the rms current.

P= Vrms × Irms

120.03×8.02

P= 962.64 W ; true power

apparent power = Vrms × Irms

=120.03×8.02

= 962.64W ; apparent power

power factor cosθ = true power/ apparent power

cosθ = 962.64/962.64

cosθ = 1

For the purely resistive circuit, the power factor is 1 , because the reactive power is equal to zero (0).

An electron passes location < 0.02, 0.04, -0.06 > m and 5 us later is detected at location < 0.02, 1.62,-0.79 > m (1

hram777 [196]

Answer:

(a)

Average velocity = < 0, 316000, 146000> m/s

(b) < 0, 2.844, 1.314 > m

Explanation:

r1 = < 0.02, 0.04, - 0.06 > m

r2 = < 0.02, 1.62, - 0.79 > m

time, t = 5 micro second = 5 x 10^-6 s

(a) Average velocity is defined as the ratio of total displacement to the total time taken.

Displacement = r = r2 - r1

r = < 0.02 - 0.02, 1.62 - 0.04, - 0.79 + 0.06 > m

r = < 0, 1.58, - 0.73 > m

So. Average velocity = $\frac{< 0, 1.58, - 0.73 >}{5 \times 10^{-6}}$

Average velocity = $< 0, 316000, 146000> m/s$

Average velocity = < 0, 316000, 146000> m/s

(b)

Distance = velocity x time

Here time, t = 9 micro second

d = < 0, 316000, 146000> x 9 x 10^-6 m

d = < 0, 2.844, 1.314 > m
