Elephants can communicate over distances as far as 6 km by using very low-frequency sound waves. What is the wavelength of a 10
harkovskaia [24]

The characteristics of the sound waves allow to find the result for the wavelength is:

         λ = 34.29 m

The sound wave is a longitudinal traveling wave, where the speed of the wave depends on the air temperature.

         v = v_o \sqrt{1 + \frac{T}{273} }  

where v₀ is the speed of sound for T = 0ºc v₀ = 331 m / s.

indicate that the temperature is T = 20ºC, let's find the speed of the traveling wave.

        v = 331 \sqrt{1 + \frac{20}{273} }  

        v = 342.9 m / s

The speed of sound is related to wavelength and frequency.

       v = λ f

        λ = \frac{v}{f}

Let's calculate

        \lambda = \frac{342.29}{10}  

        λ  = 34.29 m

In conclusion using the characteristics of sound waves we can find the result for the wavelength is:

          λ = 34.29 m

How to increase the current in a circuit
ivann1987 [24]

Answer:

So to increase current of the circuit what you can do is :

1. Use conductor of low resistivity, ¶.

2. Use conductor of small length.

3. Use thick wire.

4. Decrease the temperature of the circuit.

5. If operating temprature is high than use semiconductor, because it have negative temprature coefficient.

6. Minimise the circuit losses.

In an RLC series circuit that includes a source of alternating current operating at fixed frequency and voltage, the resistance
maw [93]

Answer:

Capacitive Reactance is 4 times of resistance

Solution:

As per the question:

R = X_{L} = j\omega L = 2\pi fL

where

R = resistance

X_{L} = Inductive Reactance

f = fixed frequency

Now,

For a parallel plate capacitor, capacitance, C:

C = \frac{\epsilon_{o}A}{x}

where

x = separation between the parallel plates

Thus

C ∝ \frac{1}{x}

Now, if the distance reduces to one-third:

Capacitance becomes 3 times of the initial capacitace, i.e., x' = 3x, then C' = 3C and hence Current, I becomes 3I.

Also,

Z = \sqrt{R^{2} + (X_{L} - X_{C})^{2}}

Also,

Z ∝ I

Therefore,

\frac{Z}{I} = \frac{Z'}{I'}

\frac{\sqrt{R^{2} + (R - X_{C})^{2}}}{3I} = \frac{\sqrt{R^{2} + (R - \frac{X_{C}}{3})^{2}}}{I}

{R^{2} + (R - X_{C})^{2}} = 9({R^{2} + (R - \frac{X_{C}}{3})^{2}})

{R^{2} + R^{2} + X_{C}^{2} - 2RX_{C} = 9({R^{2} + R^{2} + \frac{X_{C}^{2}}{9} - 2RX_{C})

Solving the above eqn:

X_{C} = 4R
