second statement: As the frequency of a wave increases, the shorter the wavelength is.

The relationship between the frequency and wavelength of a wave is given by the equation:

v=λf, where v is the velocity of the wave, λ is the wavelength and f is the frequency.

If we divide the equation by f we get:

λ=v/f

From here we see that the wavelength and frequency are inversely proportional. So as the frequency increases the wavelength decreases.

So the second statement is true: As the frequency of a wave increases, the shorter the wavelength is.

The band gab of semi conductor?

Lerok [7]

Answer:

Properties of semiconductors are determined by the energy gap between valence and conduction bands. To understand, what is semiconductor, we have to define these terms. In solid-state physics, the energy gap or the band gap is an energy range between valence band and conduction band where electron states are forbidden.

what do you mean by momentum? avehicle is runing with a velocity of 5m/s. it the momentum of the vehicle is 5000kg m/s. what is

Fantom [35]

Momentum is simply a quantity that measures the impact of a moving body over something is due to the mass it posseses or the velocity with which it is moving. Mathematically,ut is the product of mass and velocity of a body. It is represented by capital p...(P) P=mv Solution to the problem: we know P=mv For mass,eliminate m from the equation, m=P/v Put values, m=5000/5=1000kg

Which term is defined by the force that moving, charged particles exert on one another?

Lisa [10]

Answer:

Electromagnetic force

Explanation:

There are four fundamental forces in nature:

- Gravity: it is the force that is exerted between any objects with mass. It is the weakest of all forces, so it is only relevant at planetary scales. It is always attractive, and it has an infinite range.

- Electromagnetic force: it is the force exerted between charged objects and between magnets (it is responsible for electric fields and magnetic fields). It is the 2nd strongest force, and it is the force that holds atoms in a molecule together. It can be attractive or repulsive, and it has an infinite range.

- Strong nuclear force: it is the strongest of all forces. It is responsible for holding the nucleons together inside the nucleus, and it is attractive. It has a very limited range ( $10^{-15}m$ ), so it is relevant only at very small scales

- Weak nuclear force: it is the force responsible for radioactive decays and neutrino interactions. It also has a very short range ( $10^{-18} m$

Looking at all these definitions, we see that the term that defines the force that acts between charged particles is the electromagnetic force.
