The electromagnetic spectrum is traditionally divided into regions of radio waves, microwaves, infrared radiation, visible light, ultraviolet rays, x rays, and gamma rays. ... Wavelength defines the distance between adjacent points of the electromagnetic wave that are in equal phase (e.g., wavecrests)

The electromagnetic spectrum is the term used by scientists to describe the entire range of light that exists. From radio waves to gamma rays, most of the light in the universe is, in fact, invisible to us! ... Another closely related property is wavelength: the distance from the peak of one wave to the peak of the next.

Total distance moved by bead is 1.952 cm.

Explanation:

Let first consider all data that are given in question.

1. F = 8 N ...force acting on string

2. f = 2 Hz ...frequency of system

3. β = 4 cm = 0.04 m ...wavelength of wave formed due to vibration 4. A = 1 cm = 0.01 m ...Amplitude of vibration

Under certain conditions, waves can bounce back and forth through a particular region, effectively becoming stationary. These are called standing waves.

Here,it is due to vibration induced in spring due to tension induced in string

Standing wave equation is given by

$y = (x,t) = 2A * sinK x * cos (wt)$ ...(1)

Let first find, value of K, x, w, t

k = 2 * pi / beta ....(2)

Where β is wavelength in meters

K is wave number

k = 2 * pi / 0.01

k = 628.31 $m^{-1}$

now, let us find value of w

W = 2 x pi x f ....(3)

where f is frequency in hertz

W = 2 x pi x 2

W = 4 x pi

W = 0.08 $\frac{m}{s}$

$y = (x,t) = 2A * sinK x * cos (wt)$

now, let us find value of v that is wave speed

Notice that some x-positions of the resultant wave are always zero no matter what the phase relationship is. These positions are called nodes.

Finding the positions where the sine function equals zero provides the positions of the nodes.

In our case, and

K * x = pi

x = 0.04 / 2

x = 0.02

$y = (0.02,1) = 2(0.01) * sin pi * cos (12.5664 * 1)$

$y = (0.02,1) = 2(0.01) * -1 * cos 0.9761$

Y = 1.952 cm

Finally, when bead is at middle of the string, total distance after stretch covered is 1.952 cm.

Which is the wavelength of a wave that travels at a speed of 3.0 × 10^8 m/s and has a frequency of 1.5 × 10^16 Hz?

k0ka [10]

Answer:

2 x 10^-8

Explanation:

the formula of wavelength is

the speed divided by frequency

so you have the speed given = 3.0x10^8m/s

and frequency = 1.5×10^16 Hz

so wavelength = 3.0x10^8m/s / 1.5x10^16 Hz

A star is a ___ that emits energy produced by nuclear reactions in its interior.

grigory [225]

A star is a large ball of gas that emits energy produced by nuclear reactions in the star's interior. Much of this energy is emitted as electromagnetic radiation, including visible light. Light emitted by stars enables other objects in the universe to be seen by reflection.

Convert 3402kgm/s to 20000Newtons

oee [108]

The 3,402 has units of kg-m/s. That's momentum. The 20,000 has units of Newtons. That's force. Momentum and force are different physical things, and you can't convert them from one to the other.

The best I can do for you is something like this:

Let's say you have a moving object with 3,402 kg-m/s of momentum, and you want to STOP it completely. You want to stand in front of it and push back on it, hard enough and for long enough to CHANGE its momentum from 3,402 kg-m/s to zero.

Also ... there's a limit to how hard you can push. The most force you can exert is 20,000 Newtons.

The amount you'll change its momentum is called the impulse you give it. The quantity of impulse is (force) x (length of time you push on it).

So you need to keep pushing it back for (T seconds) long enough so that

(20,000 Newtons of force) x (T seconds) = 3,402 kg-m/s of momentum .

Divide each side of that equation by (20,000 Newtons). Then it says:

(T seconds) = (3,402 kg-m/s) / (20,000 Newtons)

T = 0.1701 second

And that's how you provide just enough impulse to stop the flying object ... push on it with 20,000 Newtons of force for exactly 0.1701 second, and it loses all its momentum and falls out of the air onto the ground at your feet.

This story is the closest I can come to anything that looks like "convert"ing momentum into force.
