A certain radio wave has a wavelength of 6.0 × 10-2m. What is its frequency in hertz?

Physics
1 answer:
rodikova [14]3 years ago

Answer:

The frequency of the wave is 5 x 10⁹ Hz

Explanation:

Given;

wavelength of the radio wave, λ = 6.0 × 10⁻²m

radio wave is an example of electromagnetic wave, and electromagnetic waves travel with speed of light, which is equal to 3 x 10⁸ m/s².

Applying wave equation;

V = F λ

where;

V is the speed of the wave

F is the frequency of the wave

λ  is the wavelength

Make F the subject of the formula

F = V /  λ

F = (3 x 10⁸) / (6.0 × 10⁻²)

F = 5 x 10⁹ Hz

Therefore, the frequency of the wave is 5 x 10⁹ Hz

A ____ is the time required for one half of the nuclei in a radio- ____ isotope to decay.
sukhopar [10]

Answer:

A half-life is the time required for one half of the nuclei in a radio- active isotope to decay.

Explanation:

A radio-active isotope is an isotope which undergoes radioactive decay.

Radioactive decay is a spontaneous process in which the nucleus of an atom changes its state (turning into a different nucleus, or de-exciting), emitting radiation, which can be of three different types: alpha, beta or gamma.

The half-life of a radio-active isotope is the time required for half of the nuclei of the initial sample to decay.

The law of radio-active decay can be expressed as follows:

N(t) = N_0 (\frac{1}{2})^{t/t_{1/2}}

where

N(t) is the number of undecayed nuclei left at time t

N0 is the initial number of nuclei

t is the time

t_{1/2} is the half-life

We see that when t=t_{1/2} (that means, when 1 half-life has passed), the number of undecayed nuclei left is

N(t) = N_0 (\frac{1}{2})^{t_{1/2}/t_{1/2}}=N_0 (\frac{1}{2})^1=\frac{N_0}{2}

So, half of the initial nuclei.

Two parallel wires are separated by 6.10 cm, each carrying 2.85 A of current in the same direction. (a) What is the magnitude of
Westkost [7]

Answer:

The force per unit length is 2.66 \times 10^{-5} \ N/m

Explanation:

The current carrying by each wires = 2.85 A

The current in both wires flows in same direction.

The gap between the wires = 6.10 cm

Now we will use the below expression for the force per unit length. Moreover, before using the below formula we have to change the unit centimetre into meter. So, we just divide the centimetre with 100.

F/l = \frac{\mu _0i_1 i_2}{2\pi d} \\i_1 = 2.85 \\i_ 2 = 2.85  \\\mu _0 = 4\pi \times 10^{-7} \\d = 0.061 \\F/l = \frac{4\pi \times 10^{-7} \times 2.85 \times 2.85}{2 \pi \times 0.061} \\= 2.66 \times 10^{-5} \ N/m

The 94-lb force P is applied to the 220-lb crate, which is stationary before the force is applied. Determine the magnitude and d
Makovka662 [10]

Answer

given,

force = 94 lb

weight of crate = 220 lb

Assuming the static friction be equal = 0.47

                       kinetic friction = 0.36

Maximum force applied to move the object is when object is just start to move.

F = μ N

F = 0.47 x 220

F = 103.4 lb

As the frictional force is more than applied then the object will not move.

so, the friction force will be equal to the force applied on the object that is equal to 94 lb.

hence, the direction of force will left.
