4 0

Answer:

1.5 ohm, 9 ohm

Explanation:

Total resistance, R = 10.5 ohm

Let the resistance of one piece is r and then the resistance of another piece is 10.5 - r.

According to question, the resistance of one piece is equal to the 6 times the resistance of another piece.

so, 6 r = 10.5 - r

7 r = 10.5

r = 1.5 ohm

Thus, the resistance of one piece is 1.5 ohm and resistance of another piece is 10.5 - 1.5 = 9 ohm.

The magnetic field of an electromagnetic wave in a vacuum is Bz =(2.4μT)sin((1.05×107)x−ωt), where x is in m and t is in s. You
tatiyna

Answer:

Explanation:

Given

B_z=(2.4\mu T)\sin (1.05\times 10^7x-\omega t)

Em wave is in the form of

B=B_0\sin (kx-\omega t)

where \omega =frequency\ of\ oscillation

k=wave\ constant

B_0=Maximum\ value\ of\ Magnetic\ Field

Wave constant for EM wave k is

k=1.05\times 10^7 m^{-1}

Wavelength of wave \lambda =\frac{2\pi }{k}

\lambda =\frac{2\pi }{1.05\times 10^7}

\lambda =5.98\times 10^{-7} m

Distinguish between the two main types of mechanical waves
jenyasd209 [6]

Explanation:

Mechanical waves are waves that requires a medium for their propagation. There are two types of mechanical waves:

  • Transverse waves
  • Longitudinal waves

Transverse waves are waves that propagates perpendicularly to their source. Examples are electromagnetic waves, ripple on water etc.

Longitudinal waves are waves that propagates parallel to their source. They move in a series of rarefactions and compressions along their path. An example is seismic p-waves

What is the longest wavelength that can be observed in the third order for a transmission grating having 5200 slits/cm?
Anarel [89]

Answer:

641 nm.

Explanation:

Given that,

A transmission grating has 5200 slits/cm.

We need to find the longest wavelength that can be observed in the third order. Using grating equation as follows :

d\sin\theta=m\lambda ...(1)

d is slit spacing

No fo slit per unit length :

N={5200}\ slit/cm\\\\=520000\ slits/m

We know that, N = 1/d

For longest wavelength, θ = 90°

From equation (1)

\dfrac{\sin\theta}{m\lambda}=\dfrac{1}{d}\\\\520000=\dfrac{\sin(90)}{3\lambda}\\\\\lambda=\dfrac{1}{520000\times 3}\\\\=6.41\times 10^{-7}\ m\\\\=641\ nm

Hence, the longest wavelength in third order for a transmission grating is 641 nm.

A segment A of wire stretched tightly between two posts a distance L apart vibrates in its fundamental mode with frequency f. A
____ [38]

Answer:

option (c)

Explanation:

Fundamental frequency of segment A = f

Second harmonic frequency of B = fundamental frequency of A .

Tension in both the wires is same and the mass density is also same as the wires are identical.

fundamental frequency of wire A is given by

f=\frac{1}{2L_{A}}{\sqrt{\frac{T}{m}}}    .... (1)

Second harmonic of B is given by

f=\frac{2}{2L_{B}}{\sqrt{\frac{T}{m}}}    .... (2)

Equation (1) is equal to equation (2), we get

\frac{1}{2L_{A}}=\frac{2}{2L_{B}}

L_{B}=2L_{A}

So, LB = 2 L

Thus, the length of wire segment B is 2 times the length of wire segment A.
