To solve this problem we will apply the concepts related to wave velocity as a function of the tension and linear mass density. This is

v = \sqrt{\frac{T}{\mu}}

Here

v = Wave speed

T = Tension

\mu = Linear mass density

From this proportion we can realize that the speed of the wave is directly proportional to the square of the tension

v \propto \sqrt{T}

Therefore, if there is an increase in tension of 4, the velocity will increase the square root of that proportion

v \propto \sqrt{4} = 2  

The factor that the wave speed change is 2.

The electricity received at an electrical substation has a potential difference of 20,000 V. What should the ratio of the turns
iren2701 [21]

The turn ratio of the transformer is 40.

<h3 />

<h3>What is a transformer?</h3>

A transformer is an electrical device that is used to step up or step down voltage.

The formula for calculating the turns ratio of a transformer is given below.

<h3> Formula</h3>
  • a = V/v.......... Equation 1

Where:

  • V = Primary voltage
  • v = Secondary voltage
  • a = Turns ratio of the transformer

From the question,

Given:

  • V = 20000 V
  • v = 500 v

Substitute the values above into equation 1

  • a = 20000/500
  • a = 40.

Hence, The turn ratio of the transformer is 40.

Calculate the wavelength of light that has a frequency of 5.2 x 1012 1/s.
Travka [436]

Answer:

Wavelength = 5.77 * 10^-5 meters.

Explanation:

Given the following data:

Frequency of light = 5.2 *10^12 Hz

We know that the Speed of light = 3.0 * 10^8 m/s

To find the wavelength of light;

Mathematically, wavelength is calculated using this formula;

Wavelength = \frac {speed}{frequency}

Substituting into the equation, we have;

Wavelength = \frac {3*10^{8}}{5.2 *10^{12}}

Wavelength = 5.77 * 10^-5 meters.
