Which of the following statements does not correctly describe a harmonic plane wave traveling in some medium.
1 answer:
Answer:
Incorrect statement is (b).
Explanation:
Option (a) : There is an inverse relation between the time and the frequency. The time taken depends on the frequency of the number of oscillations. Statement 1 is correct i.e. the time taken by any point of the wave to make one complete oscillation does not depend on the amplitude.
Option (b) : Speed of a wave is given by the product of its frequency and wavelength. It is not necessary that doubling the wavelength of the wave will halve its frequency as speed depends on the medium.
Option (c) : Doubling the amplitude has no effect on on the wavelength as amplitude does not depends on its wavelength.
Option (d) : Since,
Speed is directly proportional to the frequency and wavelength. So, doubling the frequency of the wave will double its speed. So, the incorrect statement is (b).

Answer:
<h2>Mass of 1 Kg and 2 Kg, 1 meters apart.</h2>Explanation:
The gravitational force is defined as
By definition, the gravitational force depends directly on the product of the masses and indirectly on the distance between the masses, which means the further they are, the less gravitational force would be. And, the greater the masses, the greater the gravitational force.
Among the options, the pair that would have the greatest gravitational force is Mass of 1 Kg and 2 Kg, with 1 meter between them.
Notice that the last choice includes the same masses but with a greater distance between them, that means it would be a weaker graviational force.
Therefore, the right answer is the second choice.
