The resource speaks of the atmosphere as if it were living, in the sense that as the earth's surface is heated by the light from

the sun, it is heated unequally and as a result of this unequal heating of the surface, air and water begin to move around in "an effort to accomplish something."

Shtirlitz [24]3 years ago

Explanation:

The uneven heating causes temperature differences, which in turn cause air currents (wind) to develop, which then move heat from where there is more heat (higher temperatures) to where there is less heat (lower temperatures). The atmosphere thus becomes a giant "heat engine", continuously driven by the sun.

Wind is the result of pressure changes in the atmosphere due to temperature.

If the speed of a wave is 1500m/sec and its frequency is 200 Hz, what is its wavelength
Ray Of Light [21]

Answer:

The wavelength of wave is 7.5 meter.

Given:

Speed of wave = 1500 \frac{m}{s}

Frequency of wave = 200 Hz

To find:

Wavelength of wave = ?

Formula used:

\lambda = \frac{v}{n}

Where \lambda = wavelength of the wave

v = speed of wave

n = frequency of wave

Solution:

Wavelength of wave is given by,

\lambda = \frac{v}{n}

Where \lambda = wavelength of the wave

v = speed of wave

n = frequency of wave

\lambda = \frac{1500}{200}

\lambda = 7.5 m

The wavelength of wave is 7.5 meter.
