Answer:

The wavelength of these signals is as follow:

  • Wavelength of 550 kHz is 545.45 m
  • Wavelength of 1600 kHz is 187.5 m

Explanation:

Given that:

Frequency = 550 kHz & 1600 kHz

Velocity = 3.0 x 10⁸ m/s

As we know that frequency is expressed by the following equation:

  • Frequency = Velocity / Wavelength ---- (1)

For 550 kHz:

The equation can be rearranged as

Wavelength = Velocity / Frequency

Wavelength = (3.0 x 10⁸ m/s) / (550 x 1000 Hz)

Wavelength = 545.45 m

For 1600 kHz:

Wavelength = Velocity / Frequency

Wavelength = (3.0 x 10⁸ m/s) / (1600 x 1000 Hz)

Wavelength = 187.5 m

1. What is the relationship between wavelength and the penetrating power of an electromagnetic wave?
Andreyy89

#1

As we know that energy of electromagnetic wave is given by

E = \frac{hc}{\lambda}

so here we know that penetrating power will directly depends on its energy and energy inversely depends on wavelength

So here we can say correct answer will be

C) The penetrating power decreases as the wavelength increases.

#2

Speed of sound is maximum in solids and minimum in gas

so here as ice melts into water the speed of sound must have to decrease

so correct answer will be

D) The speed of sound would decrease because sound travels faster through solids than liquids.

#3

mechanical waves required medium to travel while non mechanical waves do not require any medium to travel

so here correct answer will be

A) sound

A spherical balloon has a radius of 6.55 m and is filled with helium. The density of helium is 0.179 kg/m3, and the density of a
Ksju [112]

Answer:

M_1 = 317.7 kg

Explanation:

Mass of the helium gas filled inside the volume of balloon is given as

m = \rho V

m = 0.179(\frac{4}{3}\pi R^3)

m = 0.179(\frac{4}{3}\pi 6.55^3)

m = 210.7 kg

now total mass of balloon + helium inside balloon is given as

M = 210.7 + 990

M = 1200.7 kg

now we know that total weight of balloon + cargo = buoyancy force on the balloon

so we will have

(M + M_1)g = \rho_{air} V g

(1200.7 + M_1) = (\frac{4}{3}\pi 6.55^3) (1.29)

1200.7 + M_1 = 1518.4

M_1 = 317.7 kg
