Answer: D

Wavelength λ = 7.5 × 10^-11 m

Explanation:

You are given the frequency of an electromagnetic wave to be:

F = 4.0 x 1018 Hz. And the speed of light C to be

C = 3 × 10^8 m/s

From wave speed formula:

Wave speed is the product of waves frequency and wavelength. That is,

V = fλ

Where

f = frequency

λ = wavelength

V = C = speed of light

Substitute the values of the parameters into the formula

C = fλ

3 × 10^8 = 4 × 10^18 × λ

Make λ the subject of formula

λ = (3×10^8)/(4×10^18)

λ = 7.5 × 10^-11 m

Therefore, the wavelength of the wave is 7.5 × 10^-11 m

A wind turbine works by slowing the air that passes its blades and converting much of the extracted kinetic energy to electric e

ddd [48]

Answer:

2649600 Joules

Explanation:

Efficiency = 40%

m = Mass of air = 92000 kg

v = Velocity of wind = 12 m/s

Kinetic energy is given by

$K=\frac{1}{2}mv^2\\\Rightarrow K=\frac{1}{2}\times 92000\times 12^2\\\Rightarrow K=6624000\ J$

The kinetic energy of the wind is 6624000 Joules

The wind turbine extracts 40% of the kinetic energy of the wind

$E=0.4\times K\\\Rightarrow E=0.4\times 6624000\\\Rightarrow E=2649600\ J$

The energy extracted by the turbine every second is 2649600 Joules

When a mass of 0.350 kg is attached to a vertical spring and lowered slowly, the spring stretches 12.0 cm. The mass is now displ

Ray Of Light [21]

Answer:

period of oscillations is 0.695 second

Explanation:

given data

mass m = 0.350 kg

spring stretches x = 12 cm = 0.12 m

to find out

period of oscillations

solution

we know here that force

force = k × x .........1

so force = mg = 0.35 (9.8) = 3.43 N

3.43 = k × 0.12

k = 28.58 N/m

so period of oscillations is

period of oscillations = 2π × $\sqrt{\frac{m}{k} }$ ................2

put here value

period of oscillations = 2π × $\sqrt{\frac{0.35}{28.58} }$

period of oscillations = 0.6953

so period of oscillations is 0.695 second

The speed of a wave changes depending on the temperature of the medium. What do you think is the reason for this?

igor_vitrenko [27]

Answer: Because of the different wave speed from light and sound. Explanation: There is a major difference between the speed wave of light and sound, light travels at 186, 282 miles per second, and sound can travel at different speeds and its significantly slower so it is easier to measure it
