The wavelength of an electromagnetic waves is __________ also known as the period. the number of waves that pass a given point i

n space. the negative of the frequency. the spatial distance between two successive troughs. all of these are true.

Andreas93 [3]3 years ago

The sentence can be completed as follows:

The wavelength of an electromagnetic waves is the spatial distance between two successive troughs.


Note that the wavelength of a wave can also measured as the spatial distance between two successive crests of the wave. Also note that the second part of the sentence ("also known as the period") is not true, because period is another thing (in fact, the period is the time interval between two successive troughs).

A sports car skids off of a wet mountain road at 48.5 m/s and lands in the river, 110
Oxana [17]

Answer:

  about 4.74 seconds

Explanation:

The time to fall distance d from height h is given by ...

  t = √(2d/g)

  t = √(2·110 m/(9.8 m/s^2)) ≈ 4.74 s

It will take the car about 4.74 seconds to fall 110 meters to the river.

__

We assume the car's speed is horizontal, so does not add or subtract anything to/from the time to fall from the height.

A piece of wood is floating in a bathtub. A second piece of wood sits on top of the first piece, and does not touch the water. I
Fofino [41]

Answer:

B

Explanation:

Water level remains unchanged

The first thing to realize is that the buoyancy force is the same as, or equal to the weight of the wood, this same force is also the same as or equal to the weight of the water displaced by the wood. In the two cases, the weight of the wood will be unaffected nonetheless, and thus the water level will remain the same.

Therefore, the answer is B, the water level remains unchanged.

Show that the entire Paschen series is in the infrared part of the spectrum. To do this, you only need to calculate the shortest
mr_godi [17]

Answer and Explanation:

The computation of the shortest wavelength in the series is shown below:-

\frac{1}{\lambda} = R(\frac{1}{n_f^2} - \frac{1}{n_i^2} )

Where

\lambda represents wavelength

R represents Rydberg's constant

n_f represents Final energy states

and n_i represents initial energy states

Now Substitute is

1.097\times 10^7\ m^{-1}\ for\ R, \infty for\ n_i,\ 3 for\ n_i,\\\\\ \frac{1}{\lambda} = R(\frac{1}{n_f^2} - \frac{1}{n_i^2} )

now we will put the values into the above formula

= 1.097\times 10^7 m^{-1}(\frac{1}{3^2} - \frac{1}{\infty^2} )\\\\ = 1.097\times10^7\ m^{-1} (\frac{1}{9} )

= 1218888.889 m^{-1}

Now we will rewrite the answer in the term of \lambda

\lambda = \frac{1}{1218888.889} m\\\\ = 0.82\times 10^{-6} m

So, the whole Paschen series is in the part of the spectrum.

the gas in a balloon has P=100000 pa and v=0.0279 m^3. if the pressure increases to 120000 pa at constant temperature, what is t
mash [69]

Answer:

New volume of the baloon is 0.02325m^3

Explanation:

To answer this question we need to know the ideal gas law, which says:

p•V = n•R•T

p is pressure, V is volume, n is amount of substance (in moles), R is constant value and T is temperature.

Since it's stated that n and T are constant, and we know that R is a constant too, that means that p•V = constant value. Basically, that means that p1•V1 (pressure and volume before the pressure increase) equals to p2•V2 (pressure and volume after the pressure increase).

That means that:

100000 Pa • 0.0279 m^3 = 120000 Pa • V2. Next, V2= 100000•0.0279/120000. So, V2=0.02325m^3.
