This question is a big fat non sequitur !

The wavelength of radio waves traveling through vacuum only depends on the frequency that the radio station is licensed to broadcast on, (which had better be the frequency of the transmitter that they buy and use, or they're in big trouble).

The wavelength does NOT depend on the type of modulation that's used to put information onto the signal.  

An amateur radio (ham) operator may very well start out using FM to talk over his radio to somebody else, and then for some reason they may decide to switch to AM.  They can do that without ANY change in the wavelength of their transmissions.

Now, in the USA and many other countries, it so happens that all AM stations are licensed by their governments to transmit their programs on a channel somewhere between 500 KHz and 1.6 MHz, and all FM stations are licensed by their governments to transmit their programs on a channel somewhere between 88 MHz and 108 MHz.  (And THAT's what the radio receivers in these countries are built to receive.)

Then we might say that all of the AM stations are grouped around 1 MHz, and all of the FM stations are grouped around 100 MHz.  The FM frequencies are very roughly 100 times the AM frequencies, so the AM wavelengths are very roughly  100 times the FM wavelengths.  That's <em>choice (3)</em> .

But please don't get the idea that it has anything to do with using AM or FM technology.  It's just a matter of where in the spectrum the government decided to put the AM stations and where they put the FM stations.

For that matter . . . An analog TV station uses an AM signal for the picture and an FM signal for the sound, and it all goes in the same channel, with just about the same wavelengths !

25. The best description of scissor is:
ioda

Answer:

c.

Explanation:

From the options provided the best description of scissor is that scissors helps to scrap things down. This is the main purpose of scissors, to cut things, and by doing so you are breaking up a larger object into smaller and more manageable scraps. We can get rid of the other options because scissors are made of metal and therefore not soft and are not necessarily dull since they need to be sharp to fulfill their purpose. Although a pair of scissors has two holes it is not necessarily the best description of it.

Which can be observed both on Earth and in an accelerating ship in space that is free from the effect of any gravitational field
Reil [10]

Answer:

  • apples falling from trees
  • people's feet touching the ground
  • sky divers moving toward the ground  
  • balls bending downward after being thrown​

Explanation:

When a space ship is accelerating in space, there is a force known as Inertia that kicks in. Inertia will mirror the effects of gravity on the ship even if there is no gravitational field effect such that anything that would happen where there is gravity, would continue to happen.

This means that apples will fall from trees, people's feet will touch the ground, sky divers will be pulled downwards and balls will bend downwards when thrown as well. These are the same effects expected on earth where gravity pulls things towards the earth's core.

The law of conservation of matter states that matter can be neither created nor destroyed. Your friend shows you the following c
MrRa [10]

Yes, our friend is right, because there is no contradiction to the law of conservation of mass in the above equation. It just the mass of the product is equal to the mass of reactants.. and that is shown in the equation you have presented earlier

Share your thoughts about this statement by John Wesley<br> "Electricty is the soul of universe"
ikadub [295]

Answer:

<em>I think this statement is true at least in modern day times. The world runs on nothing but technology. People use more technology instead of old school textbooks and papers. Imagine living in a world without technology… that means no cars, no trains, no devices, no machines like your stove or printer, no lights and lots more. John Wesley is 100 percent correct with this statement. Electricity is indeed the powerhouse of the universe. </em>

A solenoid with 3,000.0 turns is 70.0 cm long. If its self-inductance is 25.0 mH, what is its radius? (The value of μ0 is 4π x 1
nevsk [136]

Answer:

A. 2.2*10^-2m

Explanation:

Using

Area = length x L/ uo xN²

So A = 0.7m * 25 x 10^-3H /( 4π x10^-7*

3000²)

A = 17.5*10^-3/ 1.13*10^-5

= 15.5*10^-2m²

Area= π r ²

15.5E-2/3.142 = r²

2.2*10^2m
