Answer:

The speed is 24 $\frac{meter}{s}$

Explanation:

A wave is a disturbance that propagates through a certain medium or in a vacuum, with transport of energy but without transport of matter.

The wavelength is the minimum distance between two successive points of the wave that are in the same state of vibration. It is expressed in units of length (m).

Frequency is the number of vibrations that occur in a unit of time. Its unit is s⁻¹ or hertz (Hz).

The speed of propagation is the speed with which the wave propagates in the middle, that is, the magnitude that measures the speed at which the wave disturbance propagates along its displacement. Relate wavelength (λ) and frequency (f) inversely proportionally using the following equation:

v = f * λ.

In this case, λ= 8 meter and f= 3 Hz

Then:

v= 3 Hz* 8 meter

So:

v= 24 $\frac{meter}{s}$

The speed is 24 $\frac{meter}{s}$

dlinn [17]

Answer:

the observed frequency will reduce but the wavelength will increase

Explanation:

As we know

fo = fs (v/(v-vs))

fo = observed frequency

vs = velocity of source

As per this equation,

When an observer moves away from the stationary source, the observed frequency reduces. Since the observer in the balloon is moving away from the source which itself is moving in opposite direction, the observed frequency will reduce.

Since wavelength = V/fs . The source frequency is unchanged but the velocity is increasing as it is moving in downward direction. Hence, the wavelength will increase

A circular coil of wire having a diameter of 20.0 cm and 3000 turns is placed in the earth's magnetic field with the normal of t

Bess [88]

Explanation :

It is given that,

Diameter of the coil, d = 20 cm = 0.2 m

Radius of the coil, r = 0.1 m

Number of turns, N = 3000

Induced EMF, $\epsilon=1.5\ V$

Magnitude of Earth's field, $B=10^{-4}\ T$

We need to find the angular frequency with which it is rotated. The induced emf due to rotation is given by :

$\epsilon=NBA\omega$

$\omega=\dfrac{\epsilon}{NBA}$

$\omega=\dfrac{1.5}{3000\times 10^{-4}\times \pi (0.1)^2}$

$\omega=159.15\ rad/s$

So, the angular frequency with which the loop is rotated is 159.15 rad/s. Hence, this is the required solution.

A sound wave is called a longitudinal wave? why?Give reason

Mars2501 [29]

Answer:

A sound wave is called a longitudinal wave because compressions and rarefactions in the air produce it. The air particles vibrate parallel to the direction of propagation.
