What is the practical applications of radio waves

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.

raketka [301]

The wavelength of the note is $\lambda = 39.1 cm = 0.391 m$ . Since the speed of the wave is the speed of sound, $c=344 m/s$ , the frequency of the note is
$f= \frac{c}{\lambda}=879.8 Hz$

Then, we know that the frequency of a vibrating string is related to the tension T of the string and its length L by
$f= \frac{1}{2L} \sqrt{ \frac{T}{\mu} }$
where $\mu=0.550 g/m = 0.550 \cdot 10^{-3} kg/m$ is the linear mass density of our string.
Using the value of the tension, T=160 N, and the frequency we just found, we can calculate the length of the string, L:
$L= \frac{1}{2f} \sqrt{ \frac{T}{\mu} } =0.31 m$

gogolik [260]

Answer:

The iron atom has a positive charge, making it a cation.

Explanation:

The atom has a nucleus, where the protons and neutrons, which are the subatomic particles with the highest mass, are located. Practically all the mass of the atom is concentrated in the nucleus.Protons have a positive electrical charge, while neutrons have no charge.

Electrons move around the nucleus with other negatively charged particles.

An iron atom (Fe) has 26 protons and 20 electrons in it. That is, there are 6 more protons than electrons. As mentioned, protons are positively charged. So <u><em>the iron atom has a positive charge, making it a cation</em></u>.
