  • <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.

Constant Acceleration Kinematics: Car A is traveling at 22.0 m/s and car B at 29.0 m/s. Car A is 300 m behind car B when the dri
Ainat [17]

Answer:

The taken is  t_A  = 19.0 \ s

Explanation:

Frm the question we are told that

  The speed of car A is  v_A  =  22 \ m/s

   The speed of car B is  v_B  = 29.0 \ m/s

     The distance of car B  from A is  d = 300 \ m

     The acceleration of car A is  a_A  = 2.40 \ m/s^2

For A to overtake B

    The distance traveled by car B  =  The distance traveled by car A - 300m

Now the this distance traveled by car B before it is overtaken by A is  

          d = v_B * t_A

Where t_B is the time taken by car B

Now this can also be represented as using equation of motion as

      d = v_A t_A  + \frac{1}{2}a_A t_A^2 - 300

Now substituting values

       d = 22t_A  + \frac{1}{2} (2.40)^2 t_A^2 - 300

Equating the both d

       v_B * t_A = 22t_A  + \frac{1}{2} (2.40)^2 t_A^2 - 300

substituting values

   29 * t_A = 22t_A  + \frac{1}{2} (2.40)^2 t_A^2 - 300

   7 t_A = \frac{1}{2} (2.40)^2 t_A^2 - 300

  7 t_A =1.2 t_A^2 - 300

   1.2 t_A^2 - 7 t_A - 300  = 0

Solving this using quadratic formula we have that

     t_A  = 19.0 \ s
