Given data:

Wave length (λ) = 2.30 m,

Frequency (f) = 370 Hz (waves/sec),

Determine the speed of the wave = ?

Speed of the wave is defined as "the distance a wave travels in a given time". And it is a product of wavelength (λ) and frequency(f).

An Important point to be remember here is "when increasing the wave length of the wave does not increase the speed of the wave" because the wave speed also depends on frequency (f), So, if the wave length increases wave speed decreases. As a result the product of wave length and frequency are same.

Mathematically,

Wave speed = wave length × frequency

= 2.30 m × 370 waves/sec.

= 851 m/s.

Speed of the wave is 851 m/s

How do lone pairs of electrons affect the bond angle differently than electrons shared in a bond?

lubasha [3.4K]

Answer:

Lone pairs cause bond angles to deviate away from the ideal bond angles

Explanation:

Bonded electrons are stabilized and clustered between the bonding electrons meaning they are much closer together. Non-bonding electrons however are not being shared between any atoms which allows them to roam a little further spreading the charge density over a larger space and therefore interfering with what would be an expected bond angle

A 19 nC charge is moved in a uniform electric field. The electric field does 5.3 μJ of work as the charge moves from point A to

Marizza181 [45]

Answer:

The potential difference between points A and B is 278.95 volts.

The potential difference between points B and C is -642.10 volts.

The potential difference between points A and C is -363.15 volts.

Explanation:

Given :

Charge of the particle, q = 19 nC = 19 x 10⁻⁹ C

Work is done to move a charge from point A to B, W₁ = 5.3 μJ

Work done to move a charge from point B to C, W₂ = -12.2 μJ

Let V₁ be the potential difference between point A and B, V₂ be the potential difference between point B and C and V₃ be the potential difference between point A and C.

The relation between work done and potential difference is:

W = qV

V = W/q ....(1)

Using equation (1), the potential difference between points A and B is:

$V_{1}=\frac{W_{1} }{q}$
