Answer:

The wavelength of the given radiation is 0.327 m

Explanation:

The wavelength and the frequency of a wave are related by the formula, given below:

v = fλ

where.

v = speed of wave

f = frequency of wave = 915 MHz = 915000000 Hz

λ = wavelength of the wave = ?

For the electromagnetic radiations we know that:

v = c = speed of light = 3 x 10^8 m/s

Therefore,

c = fλ

λ = c/f

λ = (300000000 m/s)/(915000000 Hz)

<u>λ = 0.327 m</u>

Answer:

The wavelength of this radiation = 0.3279 m

Explanation:

For a wave, the speed (v), frequency (f) and the wavelength (λ) are related through the relation

v = fλ

f is given in the question as 915 MHz = (915 × 10⁶) Hz = (9.15 × 10⁸) Hz

v = speed of light = (3.0 × 10⁸) m/s (since electromagnetic waves/radiation travel with the speed of light)

λ = ?

λ = (v/f)

λ = (3.0 × 10⁸)/(9.15 × 10⁸)

λ = 0.3279 m

Benjamina started her walk from the front door of her ground floor apartment. She walked 6 meters to the corner of the building
Cloud [144]
The distance is the total distance she walked which is 16 meters adding the 6 meters to the corner and 10 meters to her friend's apartment. Her displacement is the distance from her original starting point so you set up a triangle with side lengths of 6 and 10 and solve for the hypotenuse which gives you a displacement of 11.66 meters.

A stretched string has a mass per unit length of 4.87 g/cm and a tension of 16.7 N. A sinusoidal wave on this string has an ampl
Burka [1]

Answer:

Explanation:

Given that,

Mass per unit length is

μ = 4.87g/cm

μ=4.87g/cm × 1kg/1000g × 100cm/m

μ = 0.487kg/m

Tension

τ = 16.7N

Amplitude

A = 0.101mm

Frequency

f = 71 Hz

The wave is traveling in the negative direction

Given the wave form

y(x,t) = ym• Sin(kx + ωt)

A. Find ym?

ym is the amplitude of the waveform and it is given as

ym = A = 0.101mm

ym = 0.101mm

B. Find k?

k is the wavenumber and it can be determined using

k = 2π / λ

Then, we need to calculate the wavelength λ using

V = fλ

Then, λ = V/f

We have the frequency but we don't have the velocity, then we need to calculate the velocity using

v = √(τ/μ)

v = √(16.7/0.487)

v = 34.29

v = 5.86 m/s

Then, we can know the wavelength

λ = V/f = 5.86 / 71

λ = 0.0825 m

So, we can know the wavenumber

k = 2π/λ

k = 2π / 0.0825

k = 76.18 rad/m

C. Find ω?

This is the angular frequency and it can be determined using

ω = 2πf

ω = 2π × 71

ω = +446.11 rad/s

D. The angular frequency is positive (+) because the direction of propagation of wave is in the negative direction of x
