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

Physics
1 answer:
klio [65]4 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.

What is the distance from one crest to the next crest?
ella [17]

<span>The distance between wave crests is called wavelength. It is a characteristic shared by waves of all kinds, including ocean waves and sound waves. Wavelength is measured from the highest point, or summit, of one wave's crest to the summit of the next wave's <span>crest</span></span>

A 350-N child is in a swing that is attached to a pair of ropes 2.10 m long. Find the gravitational potential energy of the chil
o-na [289]

Answer:

a)  U = 735 J , b) U = 125.7 J , c)   U = 0 J

Explanation:

The gravitational power energy is

      U = mg y - mg y₀

The last value is a constant, for simplicity we can make it zero, if the lowest point is at the origin of the coordinate system, which in this case we will place in the lowest part

a) Rope is horizontal

The height in this case is the same length of the rope

     y = 2.10 m

    w = mg = 350 N

    U = 350 2.10

    U = 735 J

b) when the angle is 34º

     y = L - L cos 34

    y = L (1- cos34)

    y = 2.10 (1- cos 34)

    y = 0.359 m

    U = 350 0.359

    U = 125.7 J

c) in this case this point coincides with the reference system

     y = 0

     U = 0 J

A voltage V is applied to the primary coil of a step-up transformer with a 3:1 ratio of turns between its primary and secondary
Snezhnost [94]

Explanation:

Let N_p\ and\ N_s are the number of turns in primary and secondary coil of the transformer such that,

\dfrac{N_p}{N_s}=\dfrac{1}{3}

A resistor R connected to the secondary dissipates a power P_s=100\ W

For a transformer, \dfrac{N_s}{N_p}=\dfrac{V_s}{V_p}

V_s=(\dfrac{N_s}{N_p})V_p

V_s=3V_p...............(1)

The power dissipated through the secondary coil is :

P_s=\dfrac{V_s^2}{R}

100\ W=\dfrac{V_s^2}{R}

V_p^2=\dfrac{100R}{9}.............(2)

Let N_p'\ and\ N_s' are the new number of turns in primary and secondary coil of the transformer such that,

\dfrac{N_p'}{N_s'}=\dfrac{1}{24}

New voltage is :

V_s'=(\dfrac{N_s'}{N_p'})V_p'

V_s'=24V_p...............(3)

So, new power dissipated is P_s'

P_s'=\dfrac{V_s'^2}{R}

P_s'=\dfrac{(24V_p)^2}{R}

P_s'=24^2\times \dfrac{(V_p)^2}{R}

P_s'=24^2\times \dfrac{(\dfrac{100R}{9})}{R}

P_s'=6400\ Watts

So, the new power dissipated by the same resistor is 6400 watts. Hence, this is the required solution.

3. (Solids, Liquids) have no definite shape, but definite volume.<br> A)Solids <br> B)Liquids
JulijaS [17]

Answer:

b liquids

Explanation:

this is because liquids take the shape of  their container while solids stay solid and do not change shape and solids, liquids and gases all have definite volume.
