Answer:

These waves have wavelengths longer than those of visible light: Infrared radiation, microwaves and radio waves .

Infrared radiation transmit heat from the Sun, fires and radiators.

Microwaves are used in cooking, radar and telephones.

Radio waves are used to broadcast radio and television.

Answer:

$\frac{h_{liquid} }{ h_{body} }$ = 5/9

Explanation:

This is an exercise that we can solve using Archimedes' principle which states that the thrust is equal to the weight of the desalted liquid.

B = ρ_liquid g V_liquid

let's write the translational equilibrium condition

B - W = 0

let's use the definition of density

ρ_body = m / V_body

m = ρ_body V_body

W = ρ_body V_body g

we substitute

ρ_liquid g V_liquid = ρ_body g V_body

$\frac{\rho_{body} }{\rho_{liquid} } } = \frac{V_{liquid} }{V_{body} } }$

In the problem they indicate that the ratio of densities is 5/9, we write the volume of the bar

V = A h_bogy

Thus

$\frac{V_{liquid} }{V_{1body} } = \frac{ h_{liquid} }{h_{body} }$

we substitute

5/9 = $\frac{h_{liquid} }{ h_{body} }$

What is the wavelength of a 10 Hz wave that travels with a speed of 5 m/s?

garik1379 [7]

B

V= f x lambda
V= 5m/s
F = 10hz
Lambda = ?
5 = 10 x lamba
5 /10 = lambda
Wavelength =0.5

A glass plate (n = 1.64) is covered with a thin, uniform layer of oil (n = 1.28). A light beam of variable wavelength from air i

Makovka662 [10]

Answer:

Explanation:

This is case of interference in thin films

for constructive interference in thin film the condition is

2μ t = (2n+1)λ/2 ; μ is refractive index of oil , t is thickness of oil , λ is wave length of light .

2 x 1.28 x t = λ/2 , if n = 0

2 x 1.28 x t = 605 /2

t = 118.16 nm .

the minimum non-zero thickness of the oil film required = 118.16 nm.
