Answer:
Amplitude and wavelength
Explanation:
- The amplitude of a wave is the maximum displacement of the wave, measured with respect to the equilibrium position (so, for a water wave it is the maximum height of the wave relative to the equilibrium position)
- The wavelength of a wave is the distance between two consecutive crests (or throughs) of a wave. So, for a water wave, it is the distance between two consecutive waves
Therefore, in the example in the problem we have:
- 2 meters corresponds to the amplitude
- 35 meters corresponds to the wavelength
The relationship between the frequency (f) of an electromagnetic wave, the speed of the wave (which is the speed of light, c) and its wavelength
is given by
Since the wavelength of the radiation in the problem is
, by substituting numbers in the formula we can get the frequency:
Speed = distance/time
speed= 122÷27=4.52m/s (3sf)
The correct answer is 10 billion years. The Sun is expected to undergo hydrogen fusion for a total of 10 billion years. The Sun generates its energy by nuclear fusion of hydrogen and produces helium nucleus. It fuses 620 million metric tons every second.
The middle or centre of the Earth is the core. However the middle of the layers from the surface to the centre of the Earth is known as mantle.
