What is the practical applications of radio waves

Physics

Keith_Richards [23]2 years ago
5 0
Radio waves have many uses—the category is divided into many subcategories, including microwaves and electromagnetic waves used for AM and FM radio, cellular telephones and TV.

The lowest commonly encountered radio frequencies are produced by high-voltage AC power transmission lines at frequencies of 50 or 60 Hz. These extremely long wavelength electromagnetic waves (about 6000 km) are one means of energy loss in long-distance power transmission.

Extremely low frequency (ELF) radio waves of about 1 kHz are used to communicate with submerged submarines. The ability of radio waves to penetrate salt water is related to their wavelength (much like ultrasound penetrating tissue)—the longer the wavelength, the farther they penetrate. Since salt water is a good conductor, radio waves are strongly absorbed by it; very long wavelengths are needed to reach a submarine under the surface.



HOPE THIS REALLY HELPS YOU.
THANK YOU.

A swimmer swims 110 m toward the shore in 72 s. What is the swimmers velocity in neters per second?
MrRissso [65]

Answer:

1.53 m/s

Explanation:

Velocity is given in meters per second, so if it takes the swimmer 72 second to swim 110 meters:

m/s = 110 meters / 72 seconds = 1.527 or 1.53 m/s

Listening to the radio, you can hear two stations at once. Describe this wave interaction
Sedaia [141]
Actually says Pantazis, since their frequencies are so wildly different, brain waves don’t interfere with radio waves. Even if that was the case, brain waves are so weak, they are hardly measurable at all. For comparison, says Pantazis, “the magnetic field of the earth is just strong enough to move the needle of a compass. Signals from the brain are a billionth of that strength.”

Three 20.0 ohm resistors are
V125BC [204]

Answer:

6.67 ohm

Explanation:

From the question given above, the following data were obtained:

Resistor 1 (R₁) =20 ohm

Resistor 2 (R₂) = 20 ohm

Resistor 3 (R₃) = 20 ohm

Equivalent Resistance (R) =?

Since the resistors are arranged in parallel connection, the equivalent resistance can be obtained as follow:

1/R = 1/R₁ + 1/R₂ + 1/R₃

1/R = 1/20 + 1/20 + 1/20

1/R = (1 + 1 + 1) / 20

1/R = 3/20

Invert

R = 20/3

R = 6.67 ohm

Therefore, the equivalent resistance is 6.67 ohm.

The closest distance a book can be read from a pair of reading eyeglasses (Power = 1.55 dp) is 26.0 cm. What is the near distanc
Mnenie [13.5K]

Answer:

The image distance is 20.0 cm.

Explanation:

Given that,

Power = 1.55 dp

Distance between book to eye = 26.0+3.00=29.0 cm

We need to calculate the focal length

Using formula of focal length

f = \dfrac{1}{P}

Put the value into the formula

f=\dfrac{1}{1.55}

f=0.645\ m

f=64.5\ cm

We need to calculate the image distance

Using lens formula

\dfrac{1}{f}=\dfrac{1}{u}+\dfrac{1}{v}

\dfrac{1}{v}=\dfrac{1}{f}-\dfrac{1}{-u}

Put the value into the formula

\dfrac{1}{v}=\dfrac{1}{64.5}-\dfrac{1}{-29}

\dfrac{1}{v}=\dfrac{187}{3741}

v=20.0\ cm

Hence, The image distance is 20.0 cm.
