What is the wavelength (in air) of a 13.0 khz vlf radio wave?
1 answer:
Since,
Speed = Frequency * WaveLength
=> WaveLength = Speed / Frequency --- (A)
Frequency = 13.0 kHz.
As the radio waves are electromagnetic waves, their speed is equals to the speed of light. Therefore,
Speed = C =
Plug in the values in equation(A):
A => WaveLength =
Ans: Wavelength = 23.077 kilometers.

Explanation:
In order to know how long after Bill released his rock should Ted throw his if they want the stones to hit the water simultanously, we need to calculate the time needed to hit the water to both rocks independent each other, and just take the difference.
For the rock dropped by Bill, as the only influence on it is gravity (accelerating it downwards with an acceleration equal to g), and v₀ =0, we can use the following kinematic equation:
where y = height = 40 ft.
As all the parameters are given in SI units, it is advisable to convert this value to m, as follows:
Now, we can solve for t, as follows:
For the rock thrown down at 10 m/s, the kinematic equation we just have used becomes:
This leaves us a quadratic equation on t, as follows:
Taking the positive root, we have:
t = -1.02 s + 1.88 s = 0.86 s
So, in order to get that both rocks hit the water at the same time, Ted will need to wait the difference between both times:
Δt = 0.86 s - 1.58s = -0.72 s
