Answer:

55.8 m/s

Explanation:

f = Actual frequency of sound emitted by car

f' = frequency observed when the car moves = (0.86)f

V = Speed of sound = 343 m/s

v = Speed of car

Frequency observed is given as

f' = \frac{Vf}{V+v}

(0.86) = \frac{(343)}{343 + v}\\(0.86) = \frac{(343)}{343 + v}\\294.98 + (0.86) v = 343 \\v = 55.8 ms^{-1}

Evgen [1.6K]

Answer: Separately derived system

Explanation: A separately derived system is used to describe a premise wiring system whose power is derived from a source of electrical energy such as transformer, solar photovoltaic cell or generator. A separately derived system has no direct connection to any conductor from another system or doesn't generate it's power from any direct connection to a conductor from another system or source except those from established from bonding or grounding connections. Separately derived systems usually generate it's power on it's own.

What is the frequency of a wave that has a wavelength of 0.39 m and a speed
gogolik [260]

Answer:

<h3>The answer is option B</h3>

Explanation:

The frequency of a wave can be found by using the formula

f =  \frac{c}{ \lambda}  \\

where

c is the velocity

From the question

wavelength = 0.39 m

c = 86 m/s

We have

f =  \frac{86}{0.39}  \\  = 220.512820...

We have the final answer as

<h3>200 Hz</h3>

Hope this helps you

Chromatic aberration occurs when:___.
worty [1.4K]

Answer:

b. a lens does not focus all colors of light to the same place.

Explanation:

Chromatic aberration is a defect of a lens. In this defect, the lens is unable to focus the different wavelengths of the light on a single focal point. It is also known as chromatic distortion and color fringing. It is caused by the dispersion of light while passing through a lens. As a result, the image might become blurred and different colors are observed around its edges. It can be corrected by the use of a combination of converging and diverging lenses.

Hence, the correct option will be:

<u>b. a lens does not focus all colors of light to the same place.</u>
