Answer: 0.85 meters (with and without sigfigs)

Explanation: To find the wavelength, you just have to switch around the equation for wave speed: v (wave speed) = λ (wavelength)*f (frequency) so λ (wavelength) = v (wave speed)/f (frequency). You don't have the wave speed but you can calculate it. Since wave speed is measured in meters/second or m/s, you just have to divide the amount of meters you were given by the amount of seconds. You will get 340 m/s. Next, you have to plug the values into the equation: λ (wavelength) = 340 m/s (wave speed)/400 Hz (frequency). The answer is 0.85 meters (seconds cancel) and has the correct number of significant figures.

Consider the following three statements: (i) For any electro-magnetic radiation, the product of the wavelength and the frequency

Scilla [17]

Answer:

A and B

Explanation:

The relation between frequency and wavelength is shown below as:

$c=frequency\times Wavelength$

c is the speed of light having value $3\times 10^8\ m/s$

Thus, the product of the wavelength and the frequency is constant and equal to $3\times 10^8\ m/s$

Option A is correct.

Given, Frequency = $1\times 10^{18}\ Hz$

Thus, Wavelength is:

$Wavelength=\frac{c}{Frequency}$

$Wavelength=\frac{3\times 10^8}{1\times 10^{18}}\ m$

$Wavelength=3\times 10^{-10}\ m$

Also, 1 m = $3\times 10^{-10}$ Å

So,

Wavelength = 3.0 Å

Option B is correct.

As stated above, the speed of electromagnetic radiation is constant. Hence, each radiation of the spectrum travels with same speed.

Option C is incorrect.

. Rohit had only one light source in his room. He was told by his friend that he can make the room more lighted by using mirror.

LUCKY_DIMON [66]

Answer:

very smooth and polished glass mirror

Explanation:

The best type of mirror for this would be a very smooth and polished glass mirror. A metal mirror will also work but it would need to be extremely polished. This would allow light to efficiently be reflected across the room, thus effectively adding an "extra" light source to the room. If the mirror is not smooth then the light may become distorted and not reflect properly as it is supposed to. This may defeat the entire purpose of the mirror for this scenario.

MARKING BRAINLIST | Which situation below would have the STRONGEST gravitational force between them?

maks197457 [2]

Case d) has the strongest gravitational force

Explanation:

The magnitude of the gravitational force between two objects is given by the equation:

$F=G\frac{m_1 m_2}{r^2}$

where :

$G=6.67\cdot 10^{-11} m^3 kg^{-1}s^{-2}$ is the gravitational constant

m1, m2 are the masses of the two objects

r is the separation between the objects

a) For this pair of objects:

m1 = 10 kg

m2 = 2 kg

r = 30 km = 30,000 m

So the gravitational force is

$F=(6.67\cdot 10^{-11})\frac{(10)(2)}{30000^2}=1.48\cdot 10^{-18}N$

b) For this pair of objects:

m1 = 10 kg

m2 = 10 kg

r = 30 km = 30,000 m

So the gravitational force is

$F=(6.67\cdot 10^{-11})\frac{(10)(10)}{30000^2}=7.41\cdot 10^{-18}N$

c) For this pair of objects:

m1 = 2 kg

m2 = 2 kg

r = 10 km = 10,000 m

So the gravitational force is

$F=(6.67\cdot 10^{-11})\frac{(2)(2)}{10000^2}=1.33\cdot 10^{-17}N$

d) For this pair of objects:

m1 = 10 kg

m2 = 10 kg

r = 10 km = 10,000 m

So the gravitational force is

$F=(6.67\cdot 10^{-11})\frac{(10)(10)}{10000^2}=6.67\cdot 10^{-17}N$

Therefore, the strongest gravitational force is in case d).

Is there an eclipse happening soon in England

lyudmila [28]

A solar eclipse will be visible over a wide area of the north polar region
on Friday, March 20.

England is not in the path of totality, but it's close enough so that a large
part of the sun will be covered, and it will be a spectacular sight.

For Londoners, the eclipse begins Friday morning at 8:25 AM,when the
moon just begins to eat away at the sun's edge. It advances slowly, as more
and more of the sun disappears, and reaches maximum at 9:31 AM. Then
the obscured part of the sun begins to shrink, and the complete disk is
restored by the end of the eclipse at 10:41AM, after a period of 2 hours
16 minutes during which part of the sun appears to be missing.

The catch in observing the eclipse is:

YOU MUST NOT LOOK AT THE SUN.

Staring at the sun for a period of time can cause permanent damage to
your vision, even though you don't feel it while it's happening.

This is not a useful place to try and give you complete instructions or
suggestions for observing the sun over a period of hours. Please look
in your local newspaper, or search online for phrases like "safe eclipse
viewing".
