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

Snowcat [4.5K]

Solution :

We assume that there is a ring having a charge +Q and radius r. Electric field due to the ring at a point P on the axis is given by :

E_P=\int dE \cos

E_P=\int \frac{KdQ}{(\sqrt{r^2+x^2})^2}\times \frac{x}{\sqrt{r^2+x^2}}

\vec{E_P}=\frac{Kx}{r^2+x^2} \int dQ

\vec{E_P}=\frac{KxQ}{(r^2+x^2)^{3/2}} \hat{i}

If we put an electron on point P, then force on point e is :

\vec{F}=-|e|\vec{E_P}

F= \frac{-eKQx}{(r^2+x^2)^{3/2}}= \frac{-eKQx}{r^3[1+\frac{x^2}{r^2}]^{3/2}}

If r >> x , then    $\frac{x^2}{r^2} \approx 0$

Then,  $\frac{-eKQ}{r^3}x$

$ma =\frac{-eKQ}{r^3}x$

$a =\frac{-eKQ}{mr^3}x$

Compare, a = -ω²x

We get,

$\omega^2 = \frac{eKQ}{R^3m}$

$\omega = \sqrt{\frac{eKQ}{r^3m}}$

$2 \pi f = \sqrt{\frac{eKQ}{r^3m}}$

$f = \frac{1}{2 \pi}\sqrt{\frac{eKQ}{mr^3}}$

Which of the following statements about electromagnetic radiation it true? A.electromagnetic waves with long wavelength are more
mina [271]

Answer:

Electromagnetic radiation is an electric and magnetic disturbance traveling through space at the speed of light (2.998 × 108 m/s). It contains neither mass nor charge but travels in packets of radiant energy called photons, or quanta.

A student wearing frictionless in-line skates on a horizontal surface is pushed, starting from rest, by a friend with a constant
grin007 [14]

Answer:

Physics

Explanation:

Explanation:

We can use the Theorem of Work (W) and Kinetic Energy (K):

W=ΔK=Kf−Ki

it basically tells us that the work done on our system will show up as change in Kinetic Energy:

We know that the initial Kinetic Energy, Ki=12mv2i, is zero (starting from rest) while the final will be equal to 352J; Work will be force time displacement. so we get:

F⋅d=Ff

45d=352

and so:

d=35245=7.8≈8m
