Borrowing from the tradition of the ancient Greeks, the first ones
who tried to describe the brightness of stars with numbers ...

                        6 magnitudes  =  a ratio of 100 .

In more modern notation . . .

                       1 magnitude = ratio of    (100) ^ (1/6)

                                             =  about  2.154...

                 9.6 magnitudes  =  (100) ^ (9.6/6) 

                                             =  100¹·⁶ 

                                             =   1,584.89  (rounded)

What is the frequency of a wave having a period equal to 18 seconds <br>​
Ivanshal [37]

Explanation:

The time taken by a wave crest to travel a distance equal to the length of wave is known as wave period.

The relation between wave period and frequency is as follows.

T = \frac{1}{f}T=

f

1

where, T = time period

f = frequency

It is given that wave period is 18 seconds. Therefore, calculate the wave period as follows.

T = \frac{1}{f}T=

f

1

or, f = \frac{1}{T}f=

T

1

= \frac{1}{18 sec}

18sec

1

= 0.055 per second (1cycle per second = 1 Hertz)

or, f = 5.5 \times 10^{-2} hertz5.5×10 −2 hertz

<h3>Thus, we can conclude that the frequency of the wave is 5.5 \times 10^{-2} hertz5.5×10 −2 hertz .</h3>

A carbon resistor is to be used as a thermometer. On a winter day when the temperature is 4.00°C, the resistance of the carbon r
dusya [7]

Answer:

28 degree C

Explanation:

We are given that

T_1=4.00^{\circ}

R_1=217.7 \Ohm

R_2=215.1\Ohm

\alpha=-5.00\times 10^{-4}C^{-1}

We have to find the temperature on a spring day when resistance is 215.1 ohm.

We know that

\alpha(T_2-T_1)=\frac{R_2}{R_2}-1

Using the formula

-5.00\times 10^{-4}(T_2-4)=\frac{215.1}{217.7}-1

-5\times 10^{-4}(T_2-4)=0.988-1=-0.012

T_2-4=\frac{0.012}{5\times 10^{-4}}=24

T_2=24+4=28^{\circ}C

Hence, the temperature  on a spring day 28 degree C.
