Two microwave signals of nearly equal wavelengths can generate a beat frequency if both are directed onto the same microwave det

ector. In an experiment, the beat frequency is 130 MHz . One microwave generator is set to emit microwaves with a wavelength of 1.250cm. If the second generator emits the longer wavelength, what is that wavelength? Express your answer to four significant figures and include the appropriate units.

Answer:

The wavelength of second generator is found to be 1.257 cm.

Explanation:

Let,

fb = beat frequency

f1 = frequency of given wave

f2 = frequency of second generator

λ1 = wavelength of given generator = 1.250 cm = 0.0125 m

λ2 = wavelength of second generator

since,

fb = |f1 - f2|

therefore,

fb = c/λ1 - c/λ2

1/λ2 = 1/λ1 - fb/c  

1/λ2 = 1/0.0125 m - (130,000,000 Hz)/(300,000,000 m/s) + 1/0.0125 m

λ2 = 1/79.566

<u>λ2 = 0.01257 m = 1.257 cm</u>

Answer:

The wavelength is 1.30 cm.

Explanation:

Given that,

Beat frequency = 130 MHz

Wavelength = 1.250 cm

We need to calculate the frequency

Using formula of frequency

f=\dfrac{v}{\lambda}

Put the value into the formula

f=\dfrac{3\times10^{8}}{1.250\times10^{-2}}

f=2.4\times10^{10}\ Hz

f=24000\ MHz

We need to calculate the frequency of beat produced by the two waves

The second generator emits the longer wavelength, so the frequency of second generator is less than that of the first generator

Using formula of beat frequency

f_{b}=f_{1}-f_{2}

Put the value into the formula

130=24000-f_{2}

f_{2}=130-24000

f_{1}=23870\ MHz

We need to calculate the wavelength

Using formula of wavelength

\lambda=\dfrac{v}{f_{2}}

\lambda=\dfrac{3\times10^{8}}{2.3\times10^{10}}

\lambda=1.30\ cm

Hence, The wavelength is 1.30 cm.

Energy is to be stored in a flywheel in the shape of a uniform solid disk with a radius of R = 1.22 m and a mass of 67.0 kg . To
eduard

Answer: 71.7 KJ

Explanation:

The rotational kinetic energy of a rotating body can be written as follows:

Krot = ½ I ω2

Now, any point on the rim of the flywheel, is acted by a centripetal force, according to Newton’s 2nd Law, as follows:

Fc = m. ac

It can be showed that the centripetal acceleration, is related with the angular velocity and the radius, as follows:

ac =  ω2 r

We know that this acceleration has a limit value, so , we can take this limit to obtain a maximum value for the angular velocity also.

As the flywheel is a solid disk, the rotational inertia I is just ½ m r2.

Replacing in the expression for the Krot, we have:

Krot= ½ (1/2 mr2.ac/r) = ¼ mr ac = ¼ 67.0 Kg. 1.22 m . 3,510 m/s2 = 71. 7 KJ

BartSMP [9]

Answer

given,

Echo time = t = 1000 s

speed = ?

v = \dfrac{d}{t}

a) speed of electromagnetic wave

c = \dfrac{d}{t}

wave travels Venus two time

c = \dfrac{2d}{t}

d = \dfrac{ct}{2}

d = \dfrac{3 \times 10^8\times 1000}{2}

d = 1.5 x 10¹¹ m

b) now, echo time

    c = \dfrac{2d}{t}

    t = \dfrac{2d}{c}

    t = \dfrac{2\times 75}{3 \times 10^8}

          t = 5 x 10⁻⁷ s

Where would the net force acting on a charge placed in a system of like charges be zero?
sweet-ann [11.9K]

Answer:

If an object is electrically neutral it has no net charge becuase it has the same number of protons as it does electrons, which are opposite charges that offset each other. No, that just means that the sum of all its positive and negative amounts of charge equals zero.

Answer:

C. It speeds up, and the angle increases

Explanation:

We can answer by using the Snell's law:

n_i sin \theta_i = n_r sin \theta_r

where

n_i, n_r are the refractive index of the first and second medium

\theta_i is the angle of incidence (measured between the incident ray and the normal to the surface)

\theta_r is the angle of refraction (measured between the refracted ray and the normal to the surface)

In this problem, light moves into a medium that has lower index of refraction, so

n_r < n_i

We can rewrite Snell's law as

sin \theta_r =\frac{n_i}{n_r}sin \theta_i

and since

\frac{n_i}{n_r}>1

this means that

sin \theta_r > sin \theta_i

which implies

\theta_r > \theta_i

so, the angle increases.

Also, the speed of light in a medium is given by

v=\frac{c}{n}

where c is the speed of light and v the refractive index: we see that the speed is inversely proportional to n, therefore the lower the index of refraction, the higher the speed. So, in this problem, the light will speed up, since it moves into a medium with lower index of refraction.
