<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.

The resolution of a camera or other optical system is determined by the relationship between what two scales?
devlian [24]

Answer:

d.The wavelength of light and the size of the aperture

Explanation:

<em>The resolution power of an optical system is the smallest distance between two points that the device can distinguish clearly.</em>

It has the following relationship:

r=\frac{\lambda}{2n}

where:

r = minimum resolvable distance

n = numerical aperture

\lambda= wavelength of the light used for viewing

From above mathematical equation it is clear that:

  • Smaller the wavelength better the resolving power
  • Larger the aperture better the resolution

(Note, that smaller the value of "r" the more finer details of the image visible through the device.)

A weightlifter completes a series of lifts with a 700 N weight. In one lift, he raises the weight to a height of 2.5 m off the g
zhannawk [14.2K]

Answer:

The output power the weightlifter is 2916.67 W.

Explanation:

Given;

weight lifted, W = 700 N

height the weight is lifted, h = 2.5 m

time taken to lift the weight, t = 0.60 s

The output power the weightlifter is calculated as;

Power = Energy applied / time taken

Energy applied = weight lifted x height the weight is lifted

Energy applied = 700 x 2.5

Energy applied = 1750 J

Power = 1750 / 0.6

Power = 2916.67 J/s = 2916.67 W.

Therefore, the output power the weightlifter is 2916.67 W.
