<h3><u>Answer;</u></h3>

The frequency stays the same and the wavelength increases.

<h3><u>Explanation;</u></h3>
  • <em><u>Sound waves are a type of mechanical wave which requires a material medium for transmission. The transmission of such waves occurs as a result of vibration of particles in the material medium. The faster the vibration of the particles the higher the speed of the sound waves.</u></em>
  • <em><u>When a sound enters a new medium where the sound travels faster, it means the vibration of particles is high, and the wavelength of the waves increases which means the speed of the wave has increased. The frequency on the other hand will remain constant.</u></em>

The frequency doesn't change. If the wavespeed increases, then the wavelength must also increase ... It's just the distance the wave travels during each complete wiggle.

Vesna [10]
Sound and light are similar in that both are forms of energy that travel in waves. They both have properties of wavelength, freqency and amplitude. ... Sound is a form of mechanical energy caused by vibrations of matter. Light is electromagnetic energy caused by interacting electric and magnetic fields.

What is the mass of a dog running at a speed of 5 m/s and a momentum of 120.5 kgm/s?
viktelen [127]

Given:

Momentum of the dog (p) = 120.5 kg m/s

Speed of the dog (v) = 5 m/s

To Find:

Mass of the dog (m)

Concept/Theory:

\underline{\underline{ \bf{\Large{Momentum}}}}

  • It is defined as the quantity of motion contained in a body.
  • It is measured as the product of mass of the body and it's speed.
  • It is represented by p.
  • It's SI unit is kg m/s
  • Mathematical Representation/Equation of Momentum: \boxed{ \bf{p = mv}}

Answer:

By using equation of momentum, we get:

\rm \longrightarrow m =  \dfrac{p}{v}  \\  \\  \rm \longrightarrow m =  \dfrac{120.5}{5}  \\  \\  \rm \longrightarrow m = 24.1 \: kg

\therefore Mass of the dog (m) = 24.1 kg

How do physicists distinguish one type of electromagnetic wave from another?
GenaCL600 [577]
A wave is characterized by the cyclic occurrences of crests and troughs. Wavelengthis defined as the distance between two consecutive troughs or two crests and the Frequency is defined as the number of cycles that pass through a point per second
