Answer;

A. orographic lifting

Explanation;

Orographic lifting is a process that takes place when an air mass is forced from a low elevation to a higher elevation as it moves over rising terrain.

This can be explained by;  When air is blocked by mountains, it cannot go through these mountains, As it ascends or moves up the mountain, the air then cools as it rises and when it cools to its saturation point, the water vapor condenses and cloud forms.

These clouds formed  are known as orographic clouds, that develop in response to the lifting forced by the topography the earth.

AM radio signals have frequencies between 550 kHz and 1600 kHz (kilohertz) and travel with a speed of 3.0Ã108m/s. What are the w
Westkost [7]

Answer:

The wavelength of these signals is as follow:

  • Wavelength of 550 kHz is 545.45 m
  • Wavelength of 1600 kHz is 187.5 m

Explanation:

Given that:

Frequency = 550 kHz & 1600 kHz

Velocity = 3.0 x 10⁸ m/s

As we know that frequency is expressed by the following equation:

  • Frequency = Velocity / Wavelength ---- (1)

For 550 kHz:

The equation can be rearranged as

Wavelength = Velocity / Frequency

Wavelength = (3.0 x 10⁸ m/s) / (550 x 1000 Hz)

Wavelength = 545.45 m

For 1600 kHz:

Wavelength = Velocity / Frequency

Wavelength = (3.0 x 10⁸ m/s) / (1600 x 1000 Hz)

Wavelength = 187.5 m

____ [38]

Answer:

The answer is choice (3)
