What is the wavelength of the radio waves from an FM station operating at a frequency of 99.5 MHz
ser-zykov [4K]

Answer:

Wavelength, \lambda=3.01\ m

Explanation:

It is given that,

Frequency, f = 99.5 MHz = 99.5 × 10⁶ Hz

We need to find the wavelength of the radio waves from an FM station operating at above frequency. The relationship between the frequency and the wavelength is given by :

c=f\lambda

\lambda=\dfrac{c}{f}{

c = speed of light

\lambda=\dfrac{3\times 10^8\ m/s}{99.5\times 10^6\ Hz}

\lambda=3.01\ m

So, the wavelength of the radio waves from an FM station is 3.01 m. Hence, this is the required solution.

Modern space suits augment the basic pressure garment with a complex system of equipment and environmental systems designed to keep the wearer comfortable, and to minimize the effort required to bend the limbs, resisting a soft pressure garment's natural tendency to stiffen against the vacuum. A self-contained oxygen supply and environmental control system is frequently employed to allow complete freedom of movement, independent of the spacecraft.
Three types of spacesuits exist for different purposes: IVA (intravehicular activity), EVA (extravehicular activity), and IEVA (intra/extravehicular activity). IVA suits are meant to be worn inside a pressurized spacecraft, and are therefore lighter and more comfortable. IEVA suits are meant for use inside and outside the spacecraft, such as the Gemini G4C suit. They include more protection from the harsh conditions of space, such as protection from micrometeorites and extreme temperature change. EVA suits, such as the EMU, are used outside spacecraft, for either planetary exploration or spacewalks. They must protect the wearer against all conditions of space, as well as provide mobility and functionality.

A small electronic device is rated at 0.16 W when connected to 115 V. What is the resistance of this device?
Ierofanga [76]

Answer:

150156.25 Ω

Explanation:

Resistance: This can be defined as the opposition to the flow of electric current in a circuit. The S.I unit of resistance is Ohm's (Ω)

The expression for resistance is given as

P = V²/R................ equation 1

Where P = power, V = Voltage, R = Resistance.

Making R the subject of the equation,

R = V²/P.................. Equation 2

Given: V = 115 V , P = 0.16 W.

Substitute into equation 2

R = 155²/0.16

R = 150156.25 Ω

Hence,

The resistance = 150156.25 Ω

Solar panels convert light energy from sunlight into electrical energy. What material is most likely used in solar panels, and w
klemol [59]

Answer:

A metalloid is used because it is a semiconductor and can become more conductive when more light shines on it

Explanation:

The material used in a solar panel is a metalloid. It can often become conductive when more light shines on it.

Metalloids have properties that straddles between those of metals and non-metals.

In essence, they can be conductive or not under certain conditions.

The most important property they exhibit is that they can become more conductive when more light shines on them. This way more electrons are produced.
