If the light wave has a wavelength of 10m what would be its velocity

If this case could ever happen, the speed would follow from this formula:

v = f \cdot \lambda

with f the frequency and lambda the wavelength. We are give a wavelength of 10m. The frequencies of the visible light can range between 400 to about 790 Terahertz, so let us pick a middle point of 600 THz ("green-ish") as a "representative."

v = 600THz\cdot 10m = 6\cdot 10^{14} \frac{1}{s}\cdot 10 m = 6\cdot10^{15}\frac{m}{s}

The speed of such a wave would have to be 6e+15 m/s (which would be 7 orders of magnitude higher than the universal speed of light constant)

The speed of light ... and all other forms of electromagnetic radiation ... depends only on the electrical properties of the medium, and not on wavelength.

The speed of light is

(299,792,458 m/s) / (index of refraction of the medium)

(The index of refraction of vacuum is 1.00 .  It's greater than 1.00 in any material stuff, and different in every material.)

= = = = =

By the way, an electromagnetic wave 10 meters long is no light wave.  It's a radio wave whose frequency is 30 MHz.

A wave has a frequency of 875 hz and a wavelength of 352 m. At what speed is this wave traveling 
Sonbull [250]

Answer:

308,000 or 30.8×10^3

Explanation:

v=f×lamda

v is ?, f is 875Hz, lamda is 352m

v=875×352

v=308,000

v=30.8×10^3 m/s

Does the same battery always deliver the same amount of flow to any circuit? Mention two observations of any circuits in this la
V125BC [204]

Answer:

Yes

Explanation:

Given that the battery is the same the PD ( potential difference ) in the circuit will also be the same likewise the flow of charge in the circuit,

Hence the same amount of charge flow is delivered to any circuit.

attached below are examples

find a magnitude of the force such that if the act at right angle there resultant is √10N but if the act of 50° the resultant is
Readme [11.4K]

Explanation:

Let magnitude of the two forces be x and y.

Resultant at right angle R1= √15N) and at

60 degrees be R2= √18N.

Now, R1 = √(x² + y²) = √15,

R2= √(x² + y² +2xycos50) = √18.

So x² + y² = 15,

and x² + y² + 1.29xy = 18,

therefore 1.29xy = 3,

y = 3/1.29x.

y = 2.33/x

Now, x2 + (2.33/x)2 = 15,

x² + 5.45/x² = 15

multiply through by x²

x⁴ + 5.45 = 15x²

x⁴ - 15x2 + 5.45 = 0

Now find the roots of the equation, and later y. The two values of x will correspond to the

magnitudes of the two vectors.

Good luck

Which method can be used for separating a mixture of sand and salt?
Veronika [31]
Answers A and C can be automatically eliminated because evaporation has to do with the water cycle and magnetism has to do with electric current and such. Next we can eliminate B or distillation because it also has to do with water/liquids. Therefore, the answer is D or filtration because it is the only answer left.

I hope this helps!
