Why does the frequency of a wave increase as the wavelength decreases

Physics

Because their PRODUCT is always the same number ... the wave speed. So if one of them changes, the other one has to change in the opposite direction, in order to keep their product the same.

Explanation:

We know that the number of complete waves formed in 1 sec time is frequency and the distance between two consecutive crests or troughs is wavelength. And we have the formula that

Velocity = wavelength * frequency

or, frequency = velocity / wavelength

Here we can see frequency is directly proportional to velocity and indirectly proportional to wavelength.

So as the wavelength increases frequency decreases and as the wavelength decreases frequency increases.

Which portion of the electromagnetic spectrum is used to identify fluorescent minerals?
S_A_V [24]
<h2>Answer: Ultraviolet Light </h2>

Ultraviolet light, whose wavelength is approximately between 100 nm and 380 nm; is a type of electromagnetic radiation that is not visible to the human eye.

This light is used for many purposes, among which is the identification of fluerescent minerals.

In this sense, fluorescence is a property that certain materials have in which they absorb energy in the form of short wavelength not visible electromagnetic radiation (the ultraviolet, for example) and then emit some of that energy in the form of longer wavelength electromagnetic radiation (in the visible spectrum). This is also called luminiscence.

Hence, the correct option is a.

Bromium has two naturally occurring isotopes: 79br, with an atomic weight of 78.918 amu, and 81br, with an atomic weight of 80.9
saul85 [17]

The two different isotopes have weights :

w1 = 78.918 amu

w2 = 80.916 amu

average weight w3 = 79.903 amu

The mixing of two components can be modeled as

let the fraction of w1 be 'x'

hence w1. x + w2.(1-x)  = w3

now this is a linear equation in 'x'. Substituting the values we get

x = 0.507

hence the percentage of Br79 = 50.7% and the percentage of BR81 = 49.3%

In a research facility, a person lies on a horizontal platform which floats on a film of air. When the person's heart beats, it
anastassius [24]

Answer: 3.48g

Explanation:

here, we will be using conservation of momentum to solve the problem. i.e the total momentum remains unchanged, unless an external force acts on the system. We'll in thus question, there is no external force acting in the system.

Remember, momentum = mass * velocity, then

mass of blood * velocity of blood = combined mass of subject and pallet * velocity of subject and pallet

Velocity of blood = 56.5cm = 0.565m

mass of blood * 0.565 = 54kg * (0.000063/0.160)

mass of blood * 0.565 = 54 * 0.00039375

mass of blood * 0.565 = 0.001969

mass of blood = 0.00348kg

Thus, the mass of blood that leaves the heart is 3.48g

A car rounds a flat curve and experiences a centripetal force directed toward the center of the curve and perpendicular to the d
Usimov [2.4K]
<h2>Answer:</h2>

If a car is rounding a flat curve, it experiences a centripetal force that pulls it towards the center of the circle it is rotating in.

Now,

The centripetal force can be balanced by the centrifugal force caused due to the acceleration of the body at the high speed which counters the centripetal force and in turn <u>prevents the car from slipping down the curve.</u>

So,

If the car doesn't hit the gas then the <em><u>car will fall down from the curve</u></em> as the Centripetal force will exceed the Centrifugal force of the car.

However, if the car doesn't hit the brake then the <em><u>car will maintain it's position on the flat curve</u></em> track as the centrifugal force will counter the effect of centripetal force directed towards the center.
