Answer:

(a) λ=77×10⁻⁶m

(b)Yes its enough to examine entire eye,

(c)λ=16.65μm.

Explanation:

The ultrasonic sound are used to detect problems in human body by using device consisting of transmitter and detector .

The speed of sound in human tissue is 1540m/s.

The wavelength of sound is 20MHz.

(a) let the velocity of sound in human tissue is v = 1540m/s.

                v=fλ

           λ= \frac{v}{f} =\frac{1540}{20MHz} = 77×10⁻⁶m

             λ=77×10⁻⁶m

(b)  we can scan effectively upto the depth of  about 500λ

                   500λ=500× (77×10⁻⁶)= 3.85cm

            Yes its enough to examine entire eye,

(c) In air the  velocity of sound is 331m/s.

              λ=\frac{v}{f}  = \frac{331 m/s}{20Mhz}  = 16.65μm

            λ=16.65μm.

Two vectors have magnitudes of 10 and 15. The angle between them when they are drawn with their tails at the same point is 65. T
IrinaK [193]

Two vectors have magnitudes of 10 and 15. The angle between them when they are drawn with their tails at the same point is 65. The component of the longer vector along the line of the shorter is 6.33 .

A vector is a quantity or phenomenon that has two independent properties: magnitude and direction. The term also denotes the mathematical or geometrical representation of such a quantity. Examples of vectors in nature are velocity, momentum, force, electromagnetic fields, and weight.

The taller component will be 15 . There will be two components taller component , one in the direction of shorter component and other perpendicular to the shorter wavelength .

The component of longer wavelength in the direction of shorter will be  

= 15 cos (theta ) = 15 cos (65) = 6.33

where theta  is the angle between both the vectors

The copper wire to the motor is 6.0 mm in diameter and 1.1 m long. How far doesan individual electron travel along the wire whil
lesya [120]

Answer:

0.306mm

Explanation:

The radius of the conductor is 3mm, or 0.003m

The area of the conductor is:

A = π*r^2 = π*(.003)^2 = 2.8*10^-5 m^2

The current density is:

J = 130/2.8*10^-5 = 4.64*10^6 A/m

According to the listed reference:

Vd = J/(n*e) = 4.64*10^6 / ( 8.46*10^28 * 1.6*10^-19 ) = 0.34*10^-6 m/s = 0.34mm/s

The distance traveled is:

x = v*t = 0.34 * .90 = 0.306 mm

In the Earth's mantle, heat is transferred in large convection currents. Within these currents,
liq [111]

A.cooler and hotter rock rise but do not sink.

B.hotter and cooler rock sink but do not rise.

C.hotter rock rises and cooler rock sinks.

D.cooler rock rises and hotter rock sinks.

hotter rock rises and cooler rock sinks.

Answer: Option C.

<u>Explanation:</u>

The process that happens inside the surface of earth makes the rocks inside the surface to either expand or shrink in size because of the presence of heat inside the surface.

Heat rises and as the warmer rock gets further away from the super heated center of the Earth it begins to cool off and starts to sink back toward the super heated center of the Earth where it is reheated and the whole process starts over again. That is what a convection current is.
