Answer:

The frequency of these waves is 4.27\times10^{-2}\ Hz

Explanation:

Given that,

Wavelength = 6.6 km

Distance = 8810 km

Time t = 8.67 hr

We need to calculate the velocity of sound

Using formula of velocity

v = \dfrac{D}{T}

Where, D = distance

T = time

Put the value into the formula

v =\dfrac{8810}{8.67}

v=1016\ km/hr

We need to calculate the frequency

Using formula of frequency

v=n\lambda

n=\dfrac{v}{\lambda}

Put the value into the formula

n=\dfrac{1016}{6.6}

n=153.93\ hr

n=\dfrac{153.93}{60\times60}

n=0.0427\ Hz

n=4.27\times10^{-2}\ Hz

Hence, The frequency of these waves is 4.27\times10^{-2}\ Hz

The relative humidity would be ________% if the actual water vapor in the air was 4 grams per cubic meter, the air's capacity to
AveGali [126]

Answer:

50%

Explanation:

Humidity is the amount water vapor present in the atmosphere.

Relative humidity is defined as the ratio of partial water vapor present in air to the actual water vapor at a particular temperature. It is expressed in percentage and the higher the percentage RH, the more the saturated water vapor present in the atmosphere and vice versa.

It is expressed mathematically as shown;

RH = actual water vapor in air/saturated water vapor × 100%

If the actual water vapor in the air was 4 grams per cubic meter and the air's capacity to hold water vapor was 8 grams per cubic meter

Actual water vapor = 4g/cm³

Air's water capacity (saturated water vapor) = 8g/cm³

RH = 4/8×100

RH = 50%
