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.

What is the difference between current electricity and static electricity
Allisa [31]

Answer:

The most significant difference between the static and current electricity is that in static electricity the charges are at rest and they are accumulating on the surface of the insulator. Whereas in current electricity the electrons are moving inside the conductor.

How long does it take light to reach us from the Sun, 1.53x108 km away? Give your answer in minutes.
muminat

Answer:

Sun light takes 8.5 minutes to reach Earth.

Explanation:

Light travels in vacuum at constant speed c= 3 \times 10 ^8 \cfrac ms, so we can find the time it takes to travel the given distance from Earth to Sun using a kinematic equation.

Finding the time it takes for Sun light to reach us.

Using the kinematic equation d = vt, we can solve for time t, which will give us

t = \cfrac dv

We can replace the equation with the given values, but before doing that, we need the values to be on SI units, thus the distance becomes

d= 1.53 \times 10^8 km \times \cfrac{1000 m}{1 km }\\d = 1.53 \times 10^{11} m

Replacing the values on the time equation give us

t = \cfrac{1.53 \times 10^{11} m}{3 \times 10^{8} \cfrac ms}\\t = 510 s

We get as result 510 seconds, then we must convert them in minutes.

t = 510 s \times \cfrac{1 min}{60s}\\\boxed{t = 8.5 min }

So we can conclude that Sun light takes 8.5 minutes to reach Earth.
