Answer:

Scientific evidence is evidence that serves to either support or counter a scientific theory or hypothesis. Such evidence is expected to be empirical evidence and interpretable in accordance with scientific method.

The period of a pendulum is measured 16 times. The average value of the period over these 16 trials is calculated to be 1.50 sec

marin [14]

Answer:

The additional trials needed is 48 trials

Explanation:

Given;

initial number of trials, n = 16 trials

the standard deviation, σ = 0.24 s

initial standard error, ε = 0.06 s

The standard error is given by;

$\epsilon = \frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n} }$

To reduce the standard error to 0.03 s, let the additional number of trials = x

$0.03= \frac{0.24}{\sqrt{n+x} } \\\\0.03= \frac{0.24}{\sqrt{16+x} }\\\\0.03\sqrt{16+x} = 0.24\\\\\sqrt{16+x} = \frac{0.24}{0.03} \\\\\sqrt{16+x} = 8\\\\16+x = 8^2\\\\16+x = 64\\\\x = 64 -16\\\\x = 48 \ trials$

Therefore, the additional trials needed is 48 trials.

1. A pendulum has a period of 3 seconds. What's its frequency? 2. A pendulum has a frequency of 0.25 Hz. What's its period? 3. A

RideAnS [48]

Answer:

(1) 0.333 Hz

(2) 4 sec

(3) 2 sec, 0.5 Hz

Explanation:

(1) We have given time period of pendulum is 3 sec

So T = 3 sec

Frequency will be equal to $f=\frac{1}{T}=\frac{1}{3}=0.333Hz$

(2) Frequency of the pendulum is given f = 0.25 Hz

Time period is equal to $T=\frac{1}{f}=\frac{1}{0.25}=4sec$

(3) It is given that a pendulum makes 10 back and forth swings in 20 seconds

So time taken to complete 1 back and forth swings = $=\frac{20}{10}=2sec$

So time period T = 2 sec

Frequency will be equal to $f=\frac{1}{T}=\frac{1}{2}=0.5Hz$

The wavelength of light is given by the velocity divided by the frequency. the velocity of blue light is 300,000,000 m/sec, and

s2008m [1.1K]

<span>Electromagnetic radiation are represented in waves. Each type of wave has a certain shape and length. The distance between two peaks in a wave is called the wavelength. It is indirectly related to the frequency which is the number of wave that pass per unit of time. Wavelength is equal to the speed of light divided by the frequency. We calculate as follows:

Wavelength = </span>300,000,000 m/sec / <span>650,000,000,000,000 per second
Wavelength = 4.62x10^-4 m</span>
