tester [92]

To solve this problem we will apply the concept of wavelength, which warns that this is equivalent to the relationship between the speed of the air (in this case in through the air) and the frequency of that wave. The air is in standard conditions so we have the relation,

Frequency = f = 562Hz

Speed of sound in air = v = 331m/s

The definition of wavelength is,

\lambda = \frac{v}{f}

Here,

v = Velocity

f = Frequency

Replacing,

\lambda = \frac{331m/s}{562Hz}

\lambda = 0.589m

Therefore the wavelength of that tone in air at standard conditions is 0.589m

What is the use of 'ground' in electric circuit?
ss7ja [257]

In electrical engineering, ground or earth is the reference point in an electrical circuit from which voltages are measured, a common return path for electric current, or a direct physical connection to the earth. Electrical circuits may be connected to ground (earth) for several reasons.

What does letter h mean in physics??​
Goryan [66]

The photon energy is the light frequency times Planck's constant. ... Planck's constant is usually called "h". Its value is about 6.626*10^-34 Joules/ Hz. A Joule is a unit of energy, and a Hertz is a unit of frequency, so when you multiply a frequency by h you get an energy.

What types of organisms give the soil essential nutrients for new plants to grow?
Leto [7]

Answer:

Decomposers

Explanation:

Decomposers are organisms that gives the soil essential nutrients for new plants to grow.

These are micro-organisms that takes up dead and decaying organisms. They break and reduce them down into useful soil organic matter.

Organic matter are the remains of plants and animals that are very vital in the soil. They provide nutrients needed for plant growth.

Complex organic molecules are broken down into simple and useful ones which are needed for the growth of plants.
