“Is it correct to say that a radio wave can be considered a low-frequency light wave?

Physics

klio [65]3 years ago

It's weird but technically correct to say that a radio wave can be considered a low-frequency light wave.  Radio and light are both electromagnetic waves.  The only difference is that radio waves have much much much longer wavelengths, and much much much lower frequencies, than light waves have.  But they're both the same physical phenomenon.

However, a radio wave CAN'T also be considered to be a sound wave.  These two things are as different as two waves can be.

-- Radio is an electromagnetic wave. Sound is a mechanical wave.

-- Radio waves travel more than 800 thousand times faster than sound waves do.

-- Radio waves are transverse waves. Sound waves are longitudinal waves.

-- Radio waves can travel through empty space. Sound waves need material stuff to travel through.

-- Radio waves can be detected by radio, TV, and microwave receivers. Sound waves can't.

-- Sound waves can be detected by our ears. Radio waves can't.

-- Sound waves can be generated by talking, or by hitting a frying pan with a spoon. Radio waves can't.

-- Radio waves can be generated by an alternating current flowing through an isolated wire. Sound waves can't.

Two motorcycles are traveling in opposite directions at the same speed when one of the cyclists blasts her horn, which has frequ
Galina-37 [17]

Answer:

6ms^-1

Explanation:

Given that the frequency difference is

( 563- 544) = 19

So alsoThe wavelength of each wave is = v/f = 344 /544

and there are 19 of this waves

So it is assumed that each motorcycle has moved 0.5 of this distance

in one second thus the speed of the motorcycles will be

=> 19/2 x 344/544 = 6.0 m/s

Positive electric charge Q is distributed uniformly throughout the volume of an insulating sphere with radius R.From the express
AlladinOne [14]

Answer:

Vb = k Q / r        r <R

Vb = k q / R³ (R² - r²)    r >R

Explanation:

The electic potential is defined by

             ΔV = - ∫ E .ds

We calculate the potential in the line of the electric pipe, therefore the scalar product reduces the algebraic product

             VB - VA = - ∫ E dr

Let's substitute every equation they give us and we find out

r> R

           Va = - ∫ (k Q / r²) dr

           -Va = - k Q (- 1 / r)

We evaluate with it Va = 0 for r = infinity

          Vb = k Q / r        r <R

         

We perform the calculation of the power with the expression of the electric field that they give us

           Vb = - int (kQ / R3 r) dr

  We integrate and evaluate from the starting point r = R to the final point r <R

         Vb = ∫kq / R³ r dr

         Vb = k q / R³ (R² - r²)

This is the electric field in the whole space, the places of interest are r = 0, r = R and r = infinity

A diver can change his rotational inertia by drawing his arms andlegs close to his body in the tuck position. After he leaves th
NeX [460]

Answer:

3.14946 rad/s

Explanation:

I_i = Intial moment of inertia

I_f = Final moment of inertia

\omega_i = Initial angular velocity

\omega_f = Final angular velocity = \dfrac{2}{1.33}\times 2\pi\ rad/s

\dfrac{I_f}{I_i}=\dfrac{1}{3}

In this system the angular momentum is conserved

L_i=L_f\\\Rightarrow I_i\omega_i=I_f\omega_f\\\Rightarrow \omega_i=\dfrac{I_f\omega_f}{I_i}\\\Rightarrow \omega_i=\dfrac{1\times \dfrac{2}{1.33}\times 2\pi}{3}\\\Rightarrow \omega_i=3.14946\ rad/s

The angular velocity when the diver left the board is 3.14946 rad/s
