Answer:

40 cm

Explanation:

The focus of a spherical convex mirror is the point at which the rays of an object converge in the infinite, it is also the point at which an object must be placed so that its image is formed in the infinite. The distance from the focus to the origin is called the focal length and is called f. It is related to the radius of the mirror, R, according to:

$f=-\frac{R}{2}$

rewriting for R:

$R=-2f=-2*-20cm=40 cm$ .

When a wave is acted upon by an external damping force what happens to the energy of the wave

Nimfa-mama [501]

Answer:

A-the energy of the wave decreases gradually

Explanation:

when a wave is acted upon by an external damping force the energy of the wave decreases gradually.

The energy degrades into the form of heat which is considered to be of less value and use. The reason is because it disperses and spreads more widely.

So therefore it end up as heat with a little sound but that is close to none because that too disperses into heat i.e. decreased form of energy.

A radio station's channel, such as 100.7 fm or 92.3 fm, is actually its frequency in megahertz (mhz), where 1mhz=106 hz and 1hz=

AURORKA [14]

The frequency of the radio station is
$f=88.7 fm= 88.7 MHz = 88.7 \cdot 10^6 Hz$

For radio waves (which are electromagnetic waves), the relationship between frequency f and wavelength $\lambda$ is
$\lambda= \frac{c}{f}$
where c is the speed of light. Substituting the frequency of the radio station, we find the wavelength:
$\lambda= \frac{3 \cdot 10^8 m/s}{88.7 \cdot 10^6 Hz}=3.38 m$

Answer:

Explanation:

The heat from radioactive processes within the planet's interior causes the plates to move, sometimes toward and sometimes away from each other. This movement is called plate motion, or a tectonic shift.
