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.

Two representative elements are in the same period of the periodic table. Which statement correctly describes the atoms of the t

oksian1 [2.3K]

Elements in the periodic table are arranged in the increasing order of their atomic number.

An atom will contain equal amount of protons and electrons. If two elements are in same period of periodic table then these elements will have same number of electrons.

Helium is one of the seven elements which are called as noble gases. This gas is odorless, tasteless and colorless which makes it unique from other elements.

It has two valence electrons while atoms of other elements in the group have 8 valence electrons.

Lithium has one valence electron, while calcium atom has 2 valence electrons.

The highest level of energy is due valence electrons of an atom. The correct answer is Lithium.

Fluorine element has 9 electrons. There are 2 electrons in the first energy level and seven electrons in the second energy level.

Ms. Mary Mack walked around her block from her house for 200 meters. She arrived back at her house in 15 minutes. What was her d

inysia [295]

Answer:

d = 0 [m]

Explanation:

Displacement is understood as the length and direction that a body travels to move from an initial point to an endpoint.

This displacement is represented with a vector or straight line that indicates the distance of the displacement and its length.

This displacement in an easier way to understand. It is the distance between the start point and the endpoint of the journey. Since the second point is equal to the first point, since Mary returns to the same place, there is no difference between the displacement.

Therefore the displacement is zero.

The three different states of matter are liquid, solid, and gas. A solid is something you can hold in your fingers, while a liqu

nika2105 [10]

The answer is C. that liquids and gases both take the shape of their container.

Think of it this way, if you take an ice cube and put it in your glass, it will stay in its shape and stay that way until it melts. But if you put liquid or a gas into a glass, it will take the shape of the glass that it is put into.

A research team developed a robot named Ellie. Ellie ran 1,000 meters for 200 seconds from the research building, rested for 100

Verizon [17]

Answer:

1. Running velocity (5 m/s)

2. Resting velocity (0 m/s)

3. Walking velocity (-1 m/s)

1. Running speed (5 m/s)

2. Walking speed (1 m/s)

3. Resting speed (0 m/s)

Explanation:

Attached you will find the plot of position vs time of Ellie´s movement.

The velocity is the displacement of the object over time relative to the system of reference. The speed, in change, is the traveled distance over time in disregard of the system of reference.

So, the velocity is calculated as follows:

v = Δx / Δt

where

Δx = final position - initial position

Δt = elapsed time

1) The average velocity of Ellie while running is:

v = 1000 m - 0 m / 200 s = 5 m/s

While resting:

v = 0 m - 0 m / 100 s = 0 m/s

And while walking back:

v = 0 m - 1000 m / 1000 s = - 1 m/s

Note that in this last case, the initial position is 1000 m because Ellie is 1000 m from the origin of the system of reference when she walks back. The final position will be the origin of the system of reference, 0 m.

Comparing with the graphic, the velocity is the slope of the function position(t).

Then:

1. Running velocity (5 m/s)

2. Resting velocity (0 m/s)

3. Walking velocity (-1 m/s)

2) The speed is the distance traveled over time:

Running speed = 1000 m / 200 s = 5m /s

Resting speed = 0 m / 100 s = 0 m/s

Walking speed = 1000 m/ 1000 s = 1 m/s

Then:

1. Running speed (5 m/s)

2. Walking speed (1 m/s)

3. Resting speed (0 m/s)

1. If 800 C of electric charge passed through a light bulb in 4 min; what is the mag

9966 [12]

The electric current passing through the bulb would be 3.3A

<u>Explanation:</u>

Given:

Electric charge, q = 800C

Time, t = 4 min

= 4 X 60 sec

= 240 sec

Electric current, I = ?

We know,

$Current = \frac{Charge}{Time}$

On substituting the value we get:

$I = \frac{800}{4 X 60} \\\\I = 3.3A$

Thus, the electric current passing through the bulb would be 3.3A
