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.

As shown in the diagram below, a rope attached to a 500.-kilogram crate is used to exert a force of 45 newtons at an angle of 65
kaheart [24]

Answer:

19.01 N

Explanation:

F = Force being applied to the crate = 45 N

\theta = Angle at which the force is being applied = 65^{\circ}

Horizontal component of force is given by

F_x=F\cos\theta\\\Rightarrow F_x=45\times \cos65^{\circ}\\\Rightarrow F_x=19.01\ \text{N}

The horizontal component of the force acting on the crate is 19.01 N.

Determine the electrical and gravitational forces that two protons in the nucleus of a helium atom exert on each other when sepa
jonny [76]

Answer:

Fe = 25.67 N

Fg = 2.0734 x 10^-35 N

Explanation:

r = 3 x 10^-15 m

G = 6.67 x 10^-11 Nm^2/kg^2

Mp = 1.6726231 x 10^-27 kg

Qp = 1.6021 x 10^-19 C

K = 9 x 10^9 Nm^2/C^2

The formula for the electrical force between the two protons is given by

F = K \frac{Q_{p}\times Q_{p}}{r^{2}}

F = \frac{9\times 10^{9}\times 1.6021\times 10^{-19}\times 1.6021\times 10^{-19}}{3\times 10^{-15}\times 3\times 10^{-15}}

Fe = 25.67 N

The formula for the gravitational force between the two protons is given by

F = G \frac{M_{p}\times M_{p}}{r^{2}}

F = \frac{6.67\times 10^{-11}\times 1.6726231\times 10^{-27}\times 1.6726231\times 10^{-27}}{3\times 10^{-15}\times 3\times 10^{-15}}

Fg = 2.0734 x 10^-35 N

Answer:

Answer: Sound waves and some earthquake waves are longitudinal waves. Ocean, light and other earthquake waves are transverse waves.

Explanation:

There are 2 types of waves:

1. Longitudinal waves: These waves are defined as the waves in which the particles of the medium move in the direction of the wave. This requires a medium to travel. For Example: Sound Waves.

2. Transverse wave: These waves are defined as the waves in which the particles of the medium travel perpendicularly to the direction of the wave. This does not require a medium to travel. These can travel in vacuum also. For Example: Light waves.

Hence, Sound waves and some earthquake waves are longitudinal waves. Ocean, light and other earthquake waves are transverse waves
