How does the speed of waves vary in different media? Radio waves are used to transmit verbal messages through space. Sound waves

are transferred by the compression of particles. The closer the particles are to one another, the faster the energy is transferred. I hear the train coming! I will hear the train through the air before I feel the vibration in the tracks. As a wave travels into a medium in which its speed increases, its wavelength would stay the same. The denser the medium, the slower the speed of a light wave.

A cello string 0.75 m long has a 220 hz fundamental frequency. find the wave speed along the vibrating string. answer in units o
maxonik [38]
For fundamental frequency of a string to occur, the length of the string has to be half the wavelength. That is,

1/2y = L, where L = length of the string, y = wavelength.

Therefore,
y = 2L = 2*0.75 =1.5 m

Additionally,
y = v/f Where v = wave speed, and f = ferquncy

Then,
v = y*f = 1.5*220 = 330 m/s

A wave of infrared light has a speed of 6m/s and a wave length of 12 m. What is the frequency of this wave?
erastovalidia [21]
Frequency = speed / wavelength

(6 m/s) / (12 m) = 0.5 Hz.

That's not infrared light.
Infrared light waves move about 50 million times faster than that, and they're only about 0.00000007 as long as that.

The tactile system is actually made up of two distinct skin senses.
Ludmilka [50]

The tactile system is actually made up of two distinct skin senses; protective and the discriminative system. The function of the protective system is to alert us to harmful stimuli. The receptors of the system are the hairs of our skin, head and genitals. The discriminative system is to show us what we are touching, where on our bodies is touching us and what are touching us. The receptors for his system are the hands, fingers, soles of feet and mouth and tongue.

Use newton's laws to find an expression for the net external force acting on the car. ignore air resistance.
alexira [117]
Hi, thank you for posting your question here at Brainly.

Newton's second law of motion can be expressed as Fnet = ma. The next external for acting on, say for example, a moving car are the following:

*weight due to gravity (force down)
*friction force between he road and the car's tires (force opposite the car's direction)
