The current intensity is the product between the total charge that flows through a certain point (in our case, the target) in a time interval \delta t:
I= \frac{Q}{\Delta t}
We know the current, I=130 \mu A=130 \cdot 10^{-6} A, and the time interval, \Delta t=17 s, so we can find the total charge:
Q=I \Delta t= 2.21 \cdot 10^{-3}C


The total charge Q is the product between the number of protons N and the charge of each protons, e, which is e=1.6 \cdot 10^{-19}C:
Q=Ne
we can  re-write the equation solving for N, so we can find the number of protons striking the target in 17 s:
N= \frac{Q}{e}= \frac{2.21 \cdot 10^{-3}C}{1.6 \cdot 10^{-19}C} =1.38 \cdot 10^{16}

Dolphin echolocation is similar to ultrasound. Reflected sound waves
s344n2d4d5 [400]

Answer:

Waves with high frequencies have shorter wavelengths that work better  than low frequency waves for successful echolocation.

Explanation:

To understand why high-frequency waves work better  than low frequency waves for successful echolocation, first we have to understand the relation between frequency and wavelength.

The relation between frequency and wavelength is given by

λ = c/f

Where λ is wavelength, c is the speed of light and f is the frequency.

Since the speed of light is constant, the wavelength and frequency are inversely related.

So that means high frequency waves have shorter wavelengths, which is the very reason for the successful echolocation because waves having shorter wavelength are more likely to reach and hit the target and then reflect back to the dolphin to form an image of the object.

Thus, waves with high frequencies have shorter wavelengths that work better  than low frequency waves for successful echolocation.

Which of the following statements about electromagnetic radiation are TRUE? a. Wavelength and frequency are inversely proportion
Kobotan [32]

Answer: A) Wavelength and frequency are inversely proportional.

Explanation:

From the wave equation;

Velocity= frequency × wavelength

If the above equation is rearranged making the frequency the subject of formula, it would give;

Frequency= velocity/ wavelength.

From the above equation we see that frequency is inversely proportional to the wavelength. This means that for every increase in wavelength there would be a decrease in frequency, and for every increase in frequency there is a reduction in wavelength.
