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. ; )

What will occur if a resistor with high resistance is inserted into a circuit?
Anton [14]
If the resistor is in series with the rest of the circuit then a is the correct answer. The voltage across the resistor in series with another resistor is
V \frac{R}{R+r}
where R is the big resistor and r is the small one and V is the total voltage drop across both.  This is called a voltage divider

A student standing on a knoll throws a snowball horizontally 4.5 meters above the level ground toward a smokestack 15 meters awa
Elan Coil [88]

Answer:

2.4 m

Explanation:

Consider the motion along the vertical direction

y_{o} = initial position of ball above the ground = 4.5 m

t = time taken by the ball to hit the smokestack = 0.65 s

v_{oy} = initial velocity of the ball along vertical direction

a_{y} = acceleration due to gravity = - 9.8 m/s²

y = position of ball at the time of hitting the smokestack

Using the kinematics equation

y = y_{o} + v_{oy} t + (0.5) a_{y} t^{2}

inserting the above values

y = 4.5 + (0) (0.65) + (0.5) (- 9.8) (0.65)^{2} \\y = 2.4 m
