It's weird but technically correct to say that a radio wave can be considered a low-frequency light wave. Radio and light are both electromagnetic waves. The only difference is that radio waves have much much much longer wavelengths, and much much much lower frequencies, than light waves have. But they're both the same physical phenomenon.
However, a radio wave CAN'T also be considered to be a sound wave. These two things are as different as two waves can be.
-- Radio is an electromagnetic wave. Sound is a mechanical wave.
-- Radio waves travel more than 800 thousand times faster than sound waves do.
-- Radio waves are transverse waves. Sound waves are longitudinal waves.
-- Radio waves can travel through empty space. Sound waves need material stuff to travel through.
-- Radio waves can be detected by radio, TV, and microwave receivers. Sound waves can't.
-- Sound waves can be detected by our ears. Radio waves can't.
-- Sound waves can be generated by talking, or by hitting a frying pan with a spoon. Radio waves can't.
-- Radio waves can be generated by an alternating current flowing through an isolated wire. Sound waves can't.
For B, it is because water is a really good conductor of electricity, so the electrician will get shocked
Answer:
a) R₁ = 14.1 Ω, b) R₂ = 19.9 Ω
Explanation:
For this exercise we must use ohm's law remembering that in a series circuit the equivalent resistance is the sum of the resistances
all resistors connected
V = i (R₁ + R₂)
with R₁ connected
V = (i + 0.5) R₁
with R₂ connected
V = (i + 0.25) R₂
We have a system of three equations with three unknowns for which we can solve it
We substitute the last two equations in the first
V = i ( 
)
1 = i ( 
)
1 = i ( 
) = 
i² + 0.75 i + 0.125 = 2i² + 0.75 i
i² - 0.125 = 0
i = √0.125
i = 0.35355 A
with the second equation we look for R1
R₁ = 
R₁ = 12 /( 0.35355 +0.5)
R₁ = 14.1 Ω
with the third equation we look for R2
R₂ = 
R₂ =
R₂ = 19.9 Ω
Answer:
The change in temperature of 576.9°C will produce an elongation of 9 inches per feet in steel.
Explanation:
The formula for linear expansion of a material is:
ΔL = αLΔT
where, ΔL = change in length
L = Original length
ΔT = Change in temperature
α = coefficient of linear expansion
For steel, α = 13 x 10^-6 /°C
L = 100 ft
ΔL = (9 in)(1 ft/12 in) = 0.75 ft
Therefore,
0.75 ft = (13 x 10^-6 /°C)(100 ft)ΔT
<u>ΔT = 576.9°C</u>

Answer:
The molecular magnets are arranged in an open chain so that the north pole or the south pole of the molecular magnets lie in the same direction which gives strong force at the poles whereas two opposite poles are arranged at the middle and the force cancel each other. So, poles have more force than the middle portion.
