Speed of wave is 8000 m/s.

Answer:

Explanation:

Speed is the measure of ratio of distance to time taken to cover that distance. In other words, speed is the measure of how fast the object can be move in a given time interval. So in this case, the wave is considered as object . And wave consists of wavelength in place of distance and frequency as reciprocal of time interval.

So speed of wave is calculated as the product of wavelength and frequency.

As the wavelength is given as 20 m and the frequency is given as 400 Hz, then the speed will be

Speed = wavelength × Frequency = 20 × 400

Speed of wave = 8000 m/s.

So speed of wave is 8000 m/s.

A laser beam of unknown wavelength passes through adiffraction grating having 5510 lines/cm after striking itperpendicularly. Ta

Ivahew [28]

Answer:

Explanation:

distance between two slit d = $\frac{1 \times 10^{-2}}{5510}$

d = 18.15 x 10⁻⁷ m

Let wave length of light λ

formula for position of first pair of bright spot

Tanθ = λ / d , λ is wave length of light and d is distance between two slit .

Tan 15.4 = $\frac{\lambda}{18.15\times10^{-7}}$

λ = Tan 15.4 x 18.15 x 10⁻⁷

=5 x 10⁻⁷ m

If θ be the position of next bright spot

Tanθ = 2 λ / d

= $\frac{2 \times\ 5\times\ 10^ {-7}}{18.15\times10^{-7}}$

= $\frac{2\times5}{18.5}$

θ = 28.4 degree .

In golf, a club is swung to hit a small ball resting on the ground. Golfer A holds his club a short distance behind the golf bal

klemol [59]

Answer:

Golfer B hits his golf ball at a higher rate of speed and with more force. This means that golfer B's ball will travel for a longer period of time and a longer distance due to newtons first law, where it says an object in motion stays in motion, with the same speed and in the same direction.

A spring with a spring constant of 2500 n/m. is stretched 4.00 cm. what is the work required to stretch the spring?

Lyrx [107]

W = 1/2k*x^2.

k = spring constant = 2500 n/m.
x = distance = 4 cm = 0.04m (convert to same units).

W = 1/2(2500)(0.04)^2 = 2J.
