What is the difference between amplitude and wavelength?

Physics
1 answer:
jasenka [17]3 years ago
3 0

Answer:

Letter b is wavelength. Letter a is amplitude.

Explanation:

Let's imagine a simple experiment. Imagine you have a long thick rope which one end is at your hands, and you start an oscillatory motion in it, moving your hand up and down. Then a friend of you take a picture of the rope in motion, looking at the rope laterally. Now let's find the wavelength and amplitude. Amplitude is "The distance from the center of the oscillation of the rope (when the rope was not in motion) to its high or low point", or the vertical displacement, in our experiment. On the other hand, wavelength is "The distance between one high point /low point and the next high point /low point". Take a look at a photo of a wave in your textbook and you will find the answer as well. ; )

Which of the following is/are ALWAYS true concerning collision and transition state theory?
Scrat [10]

Answer:

1) Transition states are short-lived

Explanation:

Transition state theory explains the rates of elementary chemical reactions. It assumes a quasi-equilibrium between reactants and activated transition state complexes.

The following are the characteristics of transition states

  • Instability
  • Ill-defined
  • High energy
  • short-lived

The species that must collide for the reaction to occur are shown by the mechanism of reaction and not the balanced reaction itself

Intermediates are consumed in each step of the overall reaction, they are not short lived

A technician is checking refrigerant system pressures. Both high- and low-side service ports are located on the A/C compressor.
konstantin123 [22]

Answer:

Two major causes are outline bellow

1. The presence of air in the system

2. Clogged condenser

Explanation:

1. The presence of air in the system

One of the causes that have been established in relation to high compressor discharge pressure is the presence of air in the system. When this takes place, your best solution is to recharge the system.

2. Clogged condenser

Another is a clogged condenser in which case you will need to clean the condenser so that it will function properly. When you happen to spot that the discharge valve is closed and it is causing high discharge pressure on the compressor, you can solve that easily by opening the valve

In your research lab, a very thin, flat piece of glass with refractive index 1.50 and uniform thickness covers the opening of a
lara31 [8.8K]

Answer:

The longest wavelength in vacuum for which there is constructive interference for the reflected light, λ   = 3472.

Explanation:

Refractive index of Glass (given) = 1.5

For the case of a constructive interference,

2nt = (m + 1/2) λ

For case 1,

2nt = (m + 1/2) 496 nm

For case 2,

2nt = (m +1+ 1/2) 386 nm

2nt = (m+3/2) * 386 nm

(m + 1/2) 496 nm = (m+3/2) * 386 nm

m = 3

Inserting the value of m in 1.

2nt = (m + 1/2) 496 nm

2*1.5t = (3 + 1/2) * 496 nm

t = ((3 + 1/2) * 496 nm)/ 3

t = 578.6 nm

The thickness of the glass, t = 578.6 nm

b)

It is generally known that for constructive interference,

2nt = (m + 1/2) λ

λ = 2nt / ((m + 1/2))

For Longest Wavelength, m = 0

λ = 2*1.5*578.6/ (1/2)

λ = 3472 nm
