  • <u>The longest wavelength is of the wave shown in figure B. </u>
  • <u>The greatest energy is of the wave shown in figure C. </u>
  • <u>The greatest frequency is of the wave shown in figure C. </u>
  • <u>The lowest amplitude is of the wave shown in figure A. </u>

Further Explanation:

The electromagnetic waves have three basic properties and these basic properties of the electromagnetic waves determine its other properties like energy, strength etc.

<u>Part 1: </u>

Wavelength:

The wavelength of an electromagnetic wave is the length of the one full oscillation of the wave about its equilibrium position.

Therefore, the above shown diagrams, the wave in the figure B has the maximum wavelength as it covers the maximum distance in completing its one oscillation about the equilibrium position.

Thus, <u>the longest wavelength is of the wave shown in figure B. </u>

<u>Part 2: </u>

Energy:

The energy associated with an electromagnetic wave is determined by the amplitude of oscillation of the wave about its equilibrium position.

The wave having higher amplitude of oscillation is considered to have higher energy and vice versa.

Thus, <u>the greatest energy is of the wave shown in figure C. </u>

<u>Part 3: </u>

Frequency:

The frequency of an electromagnetic wave is the number of oscillations performed by the wave in one second while propagating through the medium.

The frequency of a wave is higher if it completes the more number of oscillations in the same time as compared to the other wave.

Thus, <u>the greatest frequency is of the wave shown in figure C.</u>

<u>Part 4: </u>

Amplitude:

The amplitude of oscillation of an electromagnetic wave is the maximum distance covered by the wave on one side of its equilibrium position.

In the above shown figure, the wave in the option A covers the minimum distance along the vertical axis about its equilibrium position.

Thus, <u>the lowest amplitude is of the wave shown in figure A. </u>

Explanation :

(1) Wavelength of a wave is defined as the distance between two consecutive crests or troughs.

<em>In this case, the distance between two consecutive crests is maximum in B.</em>

(2) The energy of the wave depends on its amplitude. In this case,<em> </em><em>C shows maximum amplitude. So, it will have greatest energy.</em>

(3) number of cycles per unit time is called frequency of the wave. <em>In this case, C will have maximum frequency.</em>

(4) The amplitude of the wave is the maximum displacement of the particle. <em>In this case, wave A have the lowest amplitude.</em>

Hence, this is the required solution.

for an ideal monoatomic gas, the internal energy U os due to the kinetic energy and U=3/2RT per mole.show that cv=3/2R per mole
sladkih [1.3K]

Answer:

i. Cv =3R/2

ii. Cp = 5R/2

Explanation:

i. Cv = Molar heat capacity at constant volume

Since the internal energy of the ideal monoatomic gas is U = 3/2RT and Cv = dU/dT

Differentiating U with respect to T, we have

= d(3/2RT)/dT

= 3R/2

ii. Cp - Molar heat capacity at constant pressure

Cp = Cv + R

substituting Cv into the equation, we have

Cp = 3R/2 + R

taking L.C.M

Cp = (3R + 2R)/2

Cp = 5R/2

If a weight hanging on a string of length 5 feet swings through 5^\circ on either side of the vertical, how long is the arc thro
Zielflug [23.3K]
<span>First we can find the circumference of the whole circle with a radius of 5 feet. circumference = 2 pi radius circumference = (2 pi) (5 feet) circumference = (10 pi) feet From one high point to the other high point, the string moves through an angle of 10 degrees. Since a full circle is 360 degrees, this angle is 1/36 of a full circle. Therefore, the arc length is 1/36 of the whole circumference. arc length = (1/36) (circumference) arc length = (1/36) (10 pi) feet arc length = 0.873 feet</span>
