If you were on the open ocean on a large ship, what steps would you do to determine the height of a wave?

The first step to take is to check the anemometer to determine the intensity of the wind blowing in the open ocean. The measurement is in terms of knots or nautical miles. Next, we use a Beaufort scale to check what range the knots falls in. Using the scale, we can see what is the height of the wave. The Beaufort scale is used in open oceans only

A major difference between radio waves, visible light, and gamma rays is the ____ of the photons, which results in the different
olga2289 [7]
The sentence can be completed as follows:
"<span>A major difference between radio waves, visible light, and gamma rays is the energy of the photons, which results in the different photon frequencies and wavelengths."

In fact, gamma rays have greater energy than visible light and visible light has greater energy than radio waves. The energy E of a photon is related to its frequency, f, by
</span>E=hf
<span>where h is the Planck constant. We see from this formula that the higher the frequency, the greater the energy. Instead, the wavelength is inversely proportional to the frequency:
</span>\lambda= \frac{c}{f}
<span>where c is the speed of light. Since the frequency is directly proportional to the energy, this means that the wavelength is inversely proportional to the energy.</span>

A wire, 1.0 m long, with a mass of 90 g, is under tension. A transverse wave is propagated on the wire, for which the frequency
Mice21 [21]

Answer:

T = 712.9 N

Explanation:

First, we will find the speed of the wave:

v = fλ

where,

v = speed of the wave = ?

f = frequency = 890 Hz

λ = wavelength = 0.1 m

Therefore,

v = (890 Hz)(0.1 m)

v = 89 m/s

Now, we will find the linear mass density of the wire:

\mu = \frac{m}{L}

where,

μ = linear mass density of wie = ?

m = mass of wire = 90 g = 0.09 kg

L = length of wire = 1 m

Therefore,

\mu = \frac{0.09\ kg}{1\ m}

μ = 0.09 kg/m

Now, the tension in wire (T) will be:

T = μv² = (0.09 kg/m)(89 m/s)²

<u>T = 712.9 N</u>
