What materials are used on solar panels to allow them to produce electricity?

1 answer:

6 0

Rays of sunlight hit the solar panel and are
absorbed by semi-conducting materials such as silicon.
Photovoltaic cells are
usually made from silicon, an excess material that constitutes more
than 28 percent of the Earth's crust.
These cells are created by bonding two
wafers of silicon that are connected to metal wires
The top water is silicon is thin and bottom is thicker the wafers produce electricity as absorb solar radiation
hope it helps

The frequency of the second harmonic of a certain musical instrument is 100 Hz. What is the fundamental frequency of the instrum

ruslelena [56]

The harmonic frequency of a musical instrument is the minimum frequency at which a string that is fixed at both ends in the instrument may vibrate. The harmonic frequency is known as the first harmonic. Each subsequent harmonic has a frequency equal to:
n*f, where n is the number of the harmonic and f is the harmonic frequency. Therefore, the harmonic frequency may be calculated using:
f = 100 / 2
f = 50 Hz

A flywheel with radius of 0.400 mm starts from rest and accelerates with a constant angular acceleration of 0.600 rad/s2rad/s2.

charle [14.2K]

Answer: $0.00024\ m/s^2$

Explanation:

Given

Radius of flywheel is $r=0.4\ mm$

Angular acceleration $\alpha=0.6\ rad/s^2$

For no change in radius, tangential acceleration is given as

$\Rightarrow a_t=a\lpha \times r$

Insert the values

$\Rightarrow a_t=0.6\times 0.4\times 10^{-3}\ m/s^2\\\Rightarrow a_t=2.4\times 10^{-4}\ m/s^2\ \text{or}\ 0.00024\ m/s^2$

A cello string 0.75 m long has a 220 hz fundamental frequency. find the wave speed along the vibrating string. answer in units o

maxonik [38]

For fundamental frequency of a string to occur, the length of the string has to be half the wavelength. That is,

1/2y = L, where L = length of the string, y = wavelength.

Therefore,
y = 2L = 2*0.75 =1.5 m

Additionally,
y = v/f Where v = wave speed, and f = ferquncy

Then,
v = y*f = 1.5*220 = 330 m/s
