How is the wavelength of a longitudinal wave determined?

Physics
1 answer:
astraxan [27]3 years ago
3 0

Answer:

Wavelength can always be found by measuring the distance between any two corresponding points on adjacent waves. In the case of a longitudinal wave, a wavelength measurement is made by measuring the distance from a compression to the next compression or from a rarefaction to the next rarefaction.

Explain why atoms only emit certain wavelengths of light when they are excited. Check all that apply. Check all that apply. Elec
JulsSmile [24]

Answer:

Explanation:

Electrons are allowed "in between" quantized energy levels, and, thus, only specific lines are observed. <em>FALSE. </em>The specific lines are obseved because of the energy level transition of an electron in an specific level to another level of energy.

The energies of atoms are not quantized. <em>FALSE. </em>The energies of the atoms are in specific levels.

When an electron moves from one energy level to another during absorption, a specific wavelength of light (with specific energy) is emitted. <em>FALSE. </em>During absorption, a specific wavelength of light is absorbed, not emmited.

Electrons are not allowed "in between" quantized energy levels, and, thus, only specific lines are observed. <em>TRUE. </em>Again, you can observe just the transition due the change of energy of an electron in the quantized energy level

When an electron moves from one energy level to another during emission, a specific wavelength of light (with specific energy) is emitted. <em>TRUE. </em>The electron decreases its energy releasing a specific wavelength of light.

The energies of atoms are quantized. <em>TRUE. </em>In fact, the energy of all subatomic, atomic, and molecular particles is quantized.

15. Calculate The coefficient of kinetic friction be-
allochka39001 [22]

Answer:

Wt = 26.84 [N]

Explanation:

In order to solve this problem we must use the definition of work in physics. Which tells us that this is equal to the product of force by distance.

In this case, we must sum the works of the force applied by the box and the friction force that also acts on the box.

The friction force is defined as the product of the normal force by the coefficient of friction.

f = N*μ

where:

N = normal force = m*g [N] (units of Newtons)

m = mass = 72 [kg]

g = gravity acceleration = 9.81 [m/s²]

f = friction force [N]

μ = friction coefficient = 0.21

f = 72*9.81*0.21

f = 148.32 [N]

Now the total work:

Wt = WF - Wf

where:

Wt = total work [J] (units of Joules)

WF = work by the pushing force [J]

Wf = work done by the friction force [J]

Wt = (160*2.3) - (148.32*2.3)

Wt = 26.84 [N]

Note: The friction force exerts a negative work, because this force is acting in opposite direction to the movement, therefore the negative sign.
