Suppose a sound wave and an electromagnetic wave have the same frequency. Which has the longer wavelength? 1. the electromagneti
Mashcka [7]

Answer:

1. the electromagnetic wave.

Explanation:

Mathematically,

wavelength = velocity ÷ frequency

A mechanical wave is a wave that is not capable of transmitting its energy through a vacuum. Mechanical waves require a medium in order to transport their energy from one location to another. A sound wave is an example of a mechanical wave. Sound waves are incapable of traveling through a vacuum.

Electromagnetic waves of different frequency are called by different names since they have different sources and effects on matter, increasing frequency decreases wavelength.

Sound waves (which obviously travel at the speed of sound) are much slower than electromagnetic waves (which travel at the speed of light.)  

Electromagnetic waves are much faster than sound waves and If the Velocity of the wave increases and the frequency is constant, the wavelength also increases.

A lifeguard on a beach observes that waves have a speed of 7 m/s and a distance of 4.6m between wave crests. what is the period
Pepsi [2]

Answer:

0.657 seconds

Explanation:

speed of wave= wavelength / time period

so

time period= wavelength / speed

= 4.6/7

=0.657 sec

Two objects are made of the same material, but they have different masses and temperatures. If the objects are brought into ther
DIA [1.3K]

The smaller body will have greater temperature change.

<h3><u>Explanation</u>:</h3>

Temperature is defined as the degree of hotness or coldness of a body. The relationship of the temperature with heat is described as

Q =m c dT.

Where Q is the heat content

m is the mass of body

c is the specific heat of body

dT is the temperature change of body.

Here the bodies are made up of same substance, so specific heat is same. The mass of bigger body is M and smaller body is m.

So the temperature change of the body will be dependent on the mass of the body. Heat loss by one body will be equal to heat gained by the other.

So M dT1 = mdT2.

So, M/m = dT2 / dT1.

So the the smaller body will be suffering higher temperature change.

If the mass of a material is 120 grams and the volume of the material is 23 cm3, what would the density of the material be?
oee [108]
The density is 5.22 g/cm³.

Density=\frac{mass}{volume}
Density=\frac{120 g}{23 cm {3} }
Density= 5.22 g/cm³
