From the statement, the wavelength should be 1.6 cm * 1/4 = 0.4 cm. Then, we use the wave equation formula. The frequency is equal to the speed of light divided by the wavelength. First, let's use the SI units.

0.4 cm = 0.004 m

The speed of light is equal to 3 x 10^8 m/s

Frequency = 3 x 10^8 m/s ÷ 0.004 m
Frequency = 7.49 x 10^10 s^-1

How would playing a game of soccer, baseball, or basketball be different if inertia didn't exist?
BigorU [14]
Inertia is what keeps everything moving, so if it didn't exist, the balls wouldn't keep going when they are kicked, or thrown.

A 45-gram object that has a volume of 9 mL has a density of
yanalaym [24]

Answer:

<h2>  The answer is </h2><h2>a. 5g/mL</h2>

Explanation:

Given data

mass m= 45g

volume v= 9mL

we know that density=m/v

substituting our given data we have

density=\frac{45}{9} =5g/mL

What is Density?

The Density of a body can be defined as the ratio of mass to volume,

or

Density, mass of a unit volume of a material substance. The formula for density is Density= \frac{mass}{volume},

where d is density,

M is mass, and

V is volume.

Density is commonly expressed in units of grams per cubic centimetre.

Bottlenose dolphins use echolocation pulses with a frequency of about 100 kHz, higher than the frequencies used by most bats. Wh
Alinara [238K]

Answer:

1. greater

2. direct

3. smaller

4. inverse

Explanation:

The speed of sound in water is greater than in air; hence for the same frequency the sound wavelength in water is <u>greater </u>than in air (for the given frequency the wavelength is in the <u>direct </u>proportion with the speed of sound).

To "see" an object via the echolocation creature needs to use sound with the wavelength <u>smaller </u>than the size of an object viewed.

That means to "see" objects of the same size dolphin and bat need to use ultrasound of the same wavelength, hence dolphin needs to use higher frequency (for the given speed of sound the wavelength is in <u>inverse </u>proportion with the frequency).
