The time required to produce one cycle of a wave is known as the waves

1 answer:

6 0

The time described above is known as the waves Period.
The time which it takes for a particle to complete one full cycle is known as the period. Period is normally measured in seconds. Frequency on the other hand is the number of cycles which are completed in a given period of time e.g a second. periodic time T is given by reciprocal of frequency (1/f).

Mars: 0.38

weight = mass x surface gravity

multiplying your weight on Earth by the number above will give you your weight on the surface of Mars

If you weigh 150 pounds (68 kg.) on Earth, you would weigh 57 lbs. (26 kg.) on Mars

A penny is placed on a rotating turntable. where on the turntable does the penny require the largest centripetal force to remain

Mama L [17]

m = mass of the penny

r = distance of the penny from the center of the turntable or axis of rotation

w = angular speed of rotation of turntable

F = centripetal force experienced by the penny

centripetal force "F" experienced by the penny of "m" at distance "r" from axis of rotation is given as

F = m r w²

in the above equation , mass of penny "m" and angular speed "w" of the turntable is same at all places. hence the centripetal force directly depends on the radius .

hence greater the distance from center , greater will be the centripetal force to remain in place.

So at the edge of the turntable , the penny experiences largest centripetal force to remain in place.

Red laser light from a He-Ne laser (λ = 632.8 nm) creates a second-order fringe at 53.2° after passing through the grating. What

Svetlanka [38]

Explanation:

It is given that,

Wavelength of red laser light, $\lambda=632.8\ nm=632.8\times 10^{-9}\ m$

The second order fringe is formed at an angle of, $\theta=53.2^{\circ}$

For diffraction grating,

$d\ sin\theta=n\lambda$

$d=\dfrac{n\lambda}{sin\theta}$ , n = 2

$d=\dfrac{2\times 632.8\times 10^{-9}}{sin(53.2)}$

$d=1.58\times 10^{-6}\ m$

The wavelength λ of light that creates a first-order fringe at 22 is given by :

$\lambda=d\ sin\theta$

$\lambda=1.58\times 10^{-6}\ sin(22)$

$\lambda=5.91\times 10^{-7}\ m$

$\lambda=591\ nm$

Hence, this is the required solution.

A piano mover raises a 1000-n piano at a constant speed using a very light rope in a frictionless pulley system, as shown in the

Rina8888 [55]

Here As we can see the figure that the end of the rope is pulled by some force F

Now as we can see that Piano is connected by a pulley which is passing over the pulley so effectively net force on the piano upwards will be 2F as it is connected by 2 ropes by the pulley

Now for constant velocity of the piano we will say

$2F - mg = ma$

since velocity is constant so acceleration must be ZERO

so here we have

$2F - mg = 0$

as we know here that

mg = 1000 N

so we will have

$2F - 1000 = 0$

$F = 500 N$

so here force must be 500 N

The wavelength of red helium-neon laser light in air is 632.8 nm.(a) What is its frequency? Hz(b) What is its wavelength in glas

vekshin1

<h2>Answers:</h2>

The speed of a wave is given by:

$v=f.\lambda$ (1)

Where $f$ is the frequency and $\lambda$ the wavelength.

In the case of light, its speed is:

$c=f.\lambda$ (2)

On the other hand, the described situation is known as Refraction, a phenomenon in which the light changes its direction when passing through a medium with a refractive index different from the other medium.

In this context, the Refractive index $n$ is a number that describes how fast light propagates through a medium or material, and is defined as the relation between the speed of light in vacuum ( $c=3(10)^{8}m/s$ ) and the speed of light $v$ in the second medium:
