Answer:
A) because wave speed remains constant.
Explanation:
The wave speed of a wave in a medium depends on the nature of the medium.
For transverse waves in a string given by,
, T = tension , m = linear density
For longitudinal waves in a solid,
, ξ = modulus of elasticity, ρ = density
Like wise for different media, different properties and parameters govern the speed of waves moving through them.
It is important to mind in v = fλ ,f or λ does not influence on speed of wave in a medium but shows how f and λ varies as a wave propagate in a medium(/media).

Answer:
7.9060 m²
8.57 Volts
5.142×10⁻⁶ Joule
1.2×10⁻⁶ Coulomb
Explanation:
C = Capacitance between plates = 0.14 μF = 0.14×10⁻⁶ F
d = Distance between plates = 0.5 mm = 0.5×10⁻³ m
Q = Charge = 1.2 μC = 1.2×10⁻⁶ C
ε₀ = Permittivity = 8.854×10⁻¹² F/m
Capacitance
∴ Area of each plate is 7.9060 m²
Voltage
∴ Potential difference between the plates if the capacitor is charged to 1.2 μC is 8.57 Volts.
Energy stored
E=0.5CV²
⇒E = 0.5×0.14×10⁻⁶×8.57²
⇒E = 5.142×10⁻⁶ Joule
∴ Stored energy is 5.142×10⁻⁶ Joule
Charge
Q = CV
⇒Q = 0.14×10⁻⁶×8.57
⇒Q = 1.2×10⁻⁶ C
∴ Charge the capacitor carries before a spark occurs between the two plates is 1.2×10⁻⁶ Coulomb
Answer:
The near point of an eye with power of +2 dopters, u' = - 50 cm
Given:
Power of a contact lens, P = +2.0 diopters
Solution:
To calculate the near point, we need to find the focal length of the lens which is given by:
Power, P =
where
f = focal length
Thus
f =
f = = + 0.5 m
The near point of the eye is the point distant such that the image formed at this point can be seen clearly by the eye.
Now, by using lens maker formula:
where
u = object distance = 25 cm = 0.25 m = near point of a normal eye
u' = image distance
Now,
Solving the above eqn, we get:
u' = - 0.5 m = - 50 cm
