Why do waves with high frequencies have short wavelengths

Physics
2 answers:
dalvyx [7]3 years ago

Answer: because  ν = velocity/λ where ν and λ are the frequency and wavelegth of the wave.

Explanation: In order to explain this problem we have to consider the relationship between frequency and wavelengths which  are related by the velocity of the wave as follows ν*λ=v where ν and λ are the frequency and wavelegth of the wave. These parameters have an inverse proportionality.

Then, ν = velocity/λ

Answer:

The relationship between the wavelength and the frequency of a wave comes from the equation:

v = λ*f

Where v is the velocity of the wave, λ is the wavelength and f is the frequency.

So if we keep the velocity constant, you can see that if we decrease the wavelength, then the frequency must increase (to contrast the decrease in the other variable)

And the same in the other direction, if the wavelength increases, then the frequency must decrease.

So for a fixed velocity, as highest is the frequency, lower will be the wavelength.

Predict which molecule will show a similar relationship between its heat of fusion and its heat vaporization that water does
BaLLatris [955]

Question:

A) C6H6

B) CH3CH2CH2CH2CH2COH6

C) NaCl

D) NH3

Answer:

The correct option is;

A) C₆H₆

Explanation:

Heat of fusion = 6.02 kJ/mol

Heat of vaporization =40.8 kJ/mol

Here, we analyze each of the options as follows

A) C₆H₆

Benzene has a melting point of 5.5° C and a boiling point of

80.1 ° C similar to water

Heat of fusion = 9.92 kJ/mol

Heat of vaporization =30.8kJ/mol

B) CH₃CH₂CH₂CH₂CH₂COH₆

The above compound is more likely solid

C) NaCl solid

D) NH₃ melting point = -77.73 °C boiling point =  -33.34 °C

Of the above, the compounds the one  that closely resembles water is C₆H₆

8. How many calories of heat energy (Q) would be released as a 2,500 g iron (Fe) frying pan at 190˚C cools to 25˚C?
Sedaia [141]

Answer:

Q=197505J

Explanation:

From the question we are told that:

Mass m=2500g=2.5kg

Initial heat of pan i_h=190 \tetxtdegree

Final heat of pan f_h=25˚C \tetxtdegree

 

Generally the equation for Heat energy released is mathematically given by

 Q=mC \triangle T\\\\Q=2.5*462 *(190-26)\\\\Q=1155 *(190-26)\\\\Q=1155 *(171)\\

 Q=197505J

The thermal efficiency of a power cycle operating in a reversible manner is found to be 50%. Assuming that the same 2 thermal re
inna [77]

Answer:

Explanation:

The thermal efficiency of a Power cycle \eta = \dfrac{Q_H -Q_c}{Q_H}

where;

\eta = 50\% = 0.5

Q_H = Heat \ flow \ from \ higher \ temperature

Q_c = Heat \ flow \ from \ lower \ temperature

0.5 = \dfrac{Q_H -Q_c}{Q_H}

0.5 Q_H = Q_H - Q_c --- (1)

Q_c = 0.5 Q_H         ---- (2)

The coefficient of performance is:

COP_R = \dfrac{Q_c}{Q_H -Q_c}

let replace the value of Q_c = 0.5 Q_H   in the above equation then;

COP_R = \dfrac{0.5Q_H}{Q_H -0.5 Q_H}

COP_R = \dfrac{0.5Q_H}{0.5 Q_H}

COP_R = 1

The

On the other hand,  the heat pump

COP_{HP} = \dfrac{Q_H}{Q_H -Q_c}

By replacing equation (1) into the above equation; we have:

COP_{HP} = \dfrac{Q_H}{0.5Q_{H}}

COP_{HP} = \dfrac{1}{0.5}

COP_{HP} =2
