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
8 0

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

Luden [163]

Total internal reflection causes light to be completely reflected across the  boundary between the two media but not transmitted.

<h3>What is total internal reflection?</h3>

The term total internal reflection occurs when light is moving from a denser to a less dense medium such as from glass to air. This phenomenon occurs at the interface between the two media.

There are two conditions necessary for total internal reflection and they are;

1) Light must travel from a denser to a less dense medium

2) The angle of incidence in the denser medium must be greater than the critical angle.

Total internal reflection causes light to be completely reflected across the  boundary between the two media but not transmitted.

A small ball with mass 1.20 kg is mounted on one end of a rod 0.860 m long and of negligible mass. The system rotates in a horiz
Rufina [12.5K]

Answer:

0.88752 kgm²

0.02236 Nm

Explanation:

m = Mass of ball = 1.2 kg

L = Length of rod = 0.86 m

\theta = Angle = 90°

Rotational inertia is given by

I=mL^2\\\Rightarrow I=1.2\times 0.86^2\\\Rightarrow I=0.88752\ kgm^2

The rotational inertia is 0.88752 kgm²

Torque is given by

\tau=FLsin\theta\\\Rightarrow \tau=2.6\times 10^{-2}\times 0.86sin90\\\Rightarrow \tau=0.02236\ Nm

The torque is 0.02236 Nm

An example of a household appliance with a low and high power rating​
olchik [2.2K]

Answer:

Explanation:

There are countless household appliances in every single house. One appliance with a low power rating would be a ceiling fan. On average ceiling fans consume roughly 60w and are found in the majority of houses. On the other side of the spectrum, we have a high power-rating appliance such as a microwave. Microwaves use anywhere between 1000w to 1800w of power in order to function correctly. This is very large power consumption and one of the highest power ratings found for appliances in a household.

An ac generator consists of a coil with 40 turns of wire, each with an area of 0.06 m2. The coil rotates in a uniform magnetic f
Reptile [31]

Answer:

331.75 V

Explanation:

Given:

Number of turns of the coil, N = 40 turns

Area, A = 0.06 m²

Magnetic Field, B = 0.4 T

Frequency, f = 55 Hz

                           Maximum induce emf, E₀ = NABω

but ω = 2πf

                           Maximum induce emf, E₀ = NAB(2πf₀)

                           Maximum induce emf, E₀ = 2πNABf₀

Where;

N is number of turns of the coil

A is area

B is magnetic field

ω is the angular velocity

f is the frequency

                                     E₀ = 2 × π × 40 × 0.06 × 0.4 × 55

                                     E₀ = 342.81 V

The maximum induced emf is 331.75 V
