A periodic transverse wave has an amplitude of 0.20 meter and a wavelength of 3.0 meters. If the frequency of this wave is 12 Hz

, what is its speed?
Physics

The speed is 36 m/s

<u>Explanation:</u>

Speed of any wave is the measure of how fast the wave is propagating or travelling in medium. So, the speed of the wave can be calculated as the product of frequency with wavelength of that wave.

Thus, speed is directly proportional to the frequency and wavelength of a wave.

Speed = Frequency \times wavelength

<u>Given data:</u>

frequency of the wave is given as 12 Hz

wavelength is given as 3 m

Therefore, the speed will be

Speed = 12 × 3 = 36 m/s

Thus, the speed of the transverse wave is 36 m/s.

What is meant by the statement that a laser beam is coherent, mono-chromatic and parallel?
Artyom0805 [142]

Answer:

Laser light however contains only one wavelength. This property makes lasers monochromatic, meaning of one color. Another property of lasers is that all the wavelengths are in phase, meaning they wave together. This property is called coherency. Laser light travels in the same direction, parallel to one another.

Compare to a low wavelength sound wave, a high wavelength sound wave Select all that apply Group of answer choices travels slowe
viktelen [127]

Answer:

B. has a smaller frequency

C. travels at the same speed  

Explanation:

The wording of the question is a bit confusing, it should be short/long for wavelength and low/high for frequency. I assume low wavelength mean short wavelength.

All sound wave travel with the same velocity(343m/s) so wavelength doesn't influence its speed at all. It won't be faster or slower, it will have the same speed.

Velocity is a product of wavelength and frequency. So, a long-wavelength sound wave should have a lower frequency.

The option should be:

A. travels slower -->false

B. has a smaller frequency -->true

C. travels at the same speed  --->true

D. has a higher frequency  --->false

E. travels faster has the same frequency  --->false

What is the frictional force between a box and the floor it is being pulled across if, the kinetic coefficient of friction is 0.
Artyom0805 [142]

If the pulling is done parallel to the floor with constant velocity, then the box is in equilibrium. In particular, the weight and normal force cancel, so that

<em>n</em> = 38 N

The friction force is proportional to the normal force by a factor of 0.27, so that

<em>f</em> = 0.27 (38 N) ≈ 10.3 N

and so the answer is D.

An FM radio station transmits a signal with a frequency of 89.1 MHz. Give the wavelength in meters. (use at least three signific
STALIN [3.7K]

Answer:

3m

Explanation:

89.1 MHz means

89.1×10^6 cycles/second.

Electromagnetic radiation (including radio waves) travel at

3.0×10^8meters/second

Wavelength = Speed/Frequency

The wavelength of a

89.1MHz radio signal is

3.0×10^8/89.1x10^6

= 0.03x10^2

= 3meters

How does latitude affect climate?
Alex73 [517]
<h3><u>Answer;</u></h3>

Latitude determines the duration of daylight hours.

<h3><u>Explanation;</u></h3>
  • <em><u>The amount of daylight hours depends on the latitude and how Earth orbits the sun. </u></em>
  • <em><u>The tilting of the earth  as it orbits the sun leads to a variation of solar energy that changes with latitude which causes a seasonal variation in the intensity of sunlight reaching the surface and the number of hours of daylight.</u></em>
  • Daylight hours are shortest in each hemisphere's winter. Between summer and winter solstice, the number of daylight hours decreases, and the rate of decrease is larger the higher the latitude.
