Definition of wave velocity

maksim [4K]

Answer:

Velocity = frequency * wave length

Explanation:

Wave velocity is the measure of how fast the wave is being transmitted to a particular direction.

velocity implies both speed and direction as we know.

The velocity of a wave is equal to the product of its wavelength and frequency

where

frequency - number of oscillations per unit time (measured in Hz)
wave length - distance between corresponding points of two consecutive waves (measured in meters)

Two sound waves are traveling through the same medium. They have the same amplitude, wavelength, and direction of travel. If the

Sloan [31]

Answer:

Constructive interference

Explanation:

Here, the medium is same, same wavelength, same frequency, same amplitude and same direction of propagation.

Let the intensity of waves be I which is same for both

The formula for the net intensity is

$I^{2}=I_{1}^{2}+I_{2}^{2}+2I_{1}I_{2}Cos\phi$

where, Ф be the phase difference

So, $I_{R}^{2}=I^{2}+I^{2}+2IICos6\pi$

Here, IR is maximum so the interference is constructive in nature.

A camera lens used for taking close-up photographs has a focal length of 22.0 mm. The farthest it can be placed from the film is

Arada [10]

Answer:

p = 6.64 cm

Explanation:

For this exercise we use the equation of the constructor

$\frac{1}{f} = \frac{1}{p} + \frac{1}{q}$

where f is the focal length, p and q are the distance to the object and the image, respectively

They tell us the focal length f = 2.2 cm and that the image as far as it can go is q = 3.29 cm, let's find the position of the object that creates this image

$\frac{1}{p} = \frac{1}{f} - \frac{1}{q}$

1 / p = 1 / 2.2 - 1/3.29

1 / p = 0.15059

p = 6.64 cm

therefore the farthest distance from the object is 6.64 c

The current in a hair dryer measures 15 amps the resistance of the hair dryer is 8 ohms

suter [353]

The voltage at the input to the hair dryer is

V = (current) · (resistance)

V = (15 A) · (8 Ω)

V = 120 volts

__________________________________

The power dissipated by the hair dryer is

P = (current)²· (resistance)

P = (15 A)² · (8 Ω)

P = 1800 watts

A car initially traveling at 15 m/s North accelerates to 25 m/s North in 4 seconds. The magnitude of the average acceleration is

GarryVolchara [31]

The average acceleration of the car as it accelerates from 15 m/s to 25 m/s will be 2.5 m/s².

<h3>What is Average acceleration?</h3>

Average acceleration is the average rate of change of velocity with respect to time. Mathematically -

a = Δv/Δt

Given that a car is traveling at 15 m/s in north direction and in 4 seconds it accelerates to 25 m/s in the north direction only. Therefore, we can write -

initial velocity [u] = 15 m/s

final velocity [v] = 25 m/s

time taken [Δt] = 4 s

The magnitude of the average acceleration can be calculated as follows-

a = Δv/Δt

Δv = v - u = 25 - 15

Δv = 10 m/s

Therefore -

a = 10/4

a = 2.5 m/s².

Therefore, the average acceleration of the car will be 2.5 m/s².
