What is the wavelength of a radio photon from an "am" radio station that broadcasts at 1120 kilohertz?

Physics

The wavelength of the radio photon  is 268 m.

Electromagnetic waves travel with the speed of 3×10⁸m/s in vacuum. The speed of a wave <em>c i</em>s related to its frequency<em> f</em> and wavelengthλ as follows:

c=f\lambda

Thus the wavelength is given by,

\lambda =\frac{c}{f}

Substitute 3×10⁸m/s for <em>c</em> and 1120×10³Hz for <em>f</em>.

\lambda =\frac{c}{f}\\ =\frac{3*10^8m/s}{1120*10^3Hz} \\ =267.8 m\\ =268 m

Thus the wavelength of the radio photon from an AM station is 268 m

Answer:

New Resistance = 0.5556 ohm

Explanation:

Resistance = resistivity * length /area

Here since resistivity and length are constant, we only need to see how the resistance increases or decreases with change in area.

New Area = pi * (3*D)^2 / 4

Old Area = pi * D^2 / 4

The ratio of new area / old area is :

\frac{New Area}{Old Area} = 9

Since area increases 9 times, and it is inversely proportional to resistance:

Resistance decreases by 9 times.

So, old resistance = Voltage / Current = 10 / 2 = 5 ohm

New Resistance = 5 / 9 = 0.5556 ohm    (decreases by 9 times)

Sliva [168]

Answer:Let m =  mass of asteroid y.Because asteroid y has three times the mass of asteroid z, the mass of asteroid z is m/3.Given:F = 6.2x10⁸ Nd = 2100 km = 2.1x10⁶ mNote thatG = 6.67408x10⁻¹¹ m³/(kg-s²)The gravitational force between the asteroids isF = (G*m*(m/3))/d² = (Gm²)/(3d²)orm² = (3Fd²)/G     = [(3*(6.2x10⁸ N)*(2.1x10⁶ m)²]/(6.67408x10⁻¹¹ m³/(kg-s²))    = 1.229x10³² kg²m = 1.1086x10¹⁶ kg = 1.1x10¹⁶ kg (approx)Answer: 1.1x10¹⁶ kg

What is the frequency of a clock waveform whose period is 750 microseconds?
Allushta [10]
Use this formula to find your answer...

Determine the frequency of a clock waveform whose period is 2us or (micro) and 0.75ms

frequency (f)=1/( Time period).

Frequency of 2 us clock =1/2*10^-6 =10^6/2 =500000Hz =500 kHz.

Frequency of 0..75ms clock =1/0.75*10^-3 =10^3/0.75 =1333.33Hz =1.33kHz.
