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

2 answers:

5 0

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.

If a cell phone is dropped from a very tall building, how far has the phone fallen after 2.7 seconds, neglecting air resistance?

Zielflug [23.3K]

The free fall of the phone is an uniformly accelerated motion toward the ground, with constant acceleration equal to
$g=9.81 m/s^2$

So, assuming the downward direction as positive direction of the motion, since the phone starts from rest the distance covered by the phone after a time t is given by
$y(t) = \frac{1}{2}gt^2$
And if we substitute t=2.7 s, we find the distance covered:
$y(t)= \frac{1}{2}(9.81 m/s^2)(2.7 s)^2=35.8 m$

A block of mass M slides down a frictionless plane inclined at an angle (theta) with the horizontal. The normal reaction force e

WINSTONCH [101]

Answer: N = Mgcos(theta)

Therefore, the Normal reaction force is equal to Mgcos(theta)

Explanation:

See attached for a sketch.

From the attachment.

N = normal reaction force on block

W = weight of the block

theta = angle of the inclined plane to the horizontal

From the sketch, we can see that

N is equal in magnitude but opposite direction to Wy

N = Wy

And

Wy = Wcos(theta)

Wx = Wsin(theta)

Then,

N = Wy = Wcos(theta)

But W = mass × acceleration due to gravity = mg

N = Mgcos(theta)

Therefore, the Normal reaction force is equal to Mgcos(theta)

When a calcium atom forms an ion, it loses two electrons. What is the electrical charge of the calcium ion? a) −2 b) −1 c)+ 1 d)

MrRa [10]

Answer:

Option D

Explanation:

We know that Calcium has 20 electrons and 20 protons. It lost two electrons, it has 20 protons, but only 18 electrons. This makes calcium a positive ion with a charge of +2.

Which statement describes the difference between metallic bonds and Van der Waals forces

JulsSmile [24]

Explanation:

Metallic bonds hold metal atoms and freely moving valence electrons together, while Van der Waals forces hold nonpolar molecules together. OD. Metallic bonds hold metal atoms and freely moving valence electrons together while Van der Waals forces hold atoms together when they share valence electrons.

During the second part of the lab, you reversed the polarity of a magnet, while keeping its strength the same. What change did t

grigory [225]

If the polarity of a magnet is flipped while its strength remains constant. There is no change in the electromagnetic force since there is no change in the current in the wire.

<h3>What is the faraday law of electromagnetic induction?</h3>

According to Faraday's law of electromagnetic induction, the rate of change of magnetic flux linked with the coil is responsible for generating emf in the coil resulting in the flow of the amount of current.

If a magnet's polarity were switched while maintaining the same magnetic field intensity. There is no change in the electromagnetic force, and there is no change in the current in the wire.

Hence the current in the wire will be the same as in the first part.
