The period of the wave is 4.35 ms. The sound waves are called longitudinal waves

Explanation:

The period of a wave is related to its frequency by the equation:

T=\frac{1}{f}

where

T is the period

f is the frequency

For the bee in this problem, the frequency of the sound wave emitted by it is

f=2.3 \cdot 10^2 Hz = 230 Hz

Therefore, the period of the sound wave is

T=\frac{1}{230}=4.35\cdot 10^{-3}s = 4.35 ms

The sound wave is a type of wave called longitudinal wave. In longitudinal waves, the oscillation of the medium occurs in a direction parallel to the direction of motion of the wave: therefore in a sound wave, the particle of the medium (air, in this case) oscillate back and forth along the direction of propagation of the wave, forming alternating areas of higher density of particles (called compressions) and of lower density of particle (called rarefactions).

The other type of wave, instead, is called transverse wave. In a transverse wave, the oscillation of the wave occurs in a direction perpendicular to the direction of motion of the wave. An example of transverse waves are the electromagnetic waves, which consists of electric field and magnetic fields that vibrate in a plane perpendicular to the direction of motion of the wave itself.

The potential difference between the plates of an air-filled parallel-plate capacitor with a plate separation of 4 cm is 51 V. W
Salsk061 [2.6K]

Answer:

Explanation:

Electric field between plates of a parallel plate capacitor is uniform .

In a uniform electric field , relation between electric field and potential gradient is as follows

electric field = potential gradient               [ E = - dV / dl ]

in the given case ,

dV = 51 V  ,

dl = 4 cm

=  4 x 10⁻² m

E = 51 /  4 x 10⁻²

= 12.75 x 10² V / m

= 1275 V / m

If sulfur 34 undergoes alpha decay, what will I become?
ikadub [295]
It will decay into Silicon-30. Because alpha particles are 2 protons and 2 neutrons with an atomic mass of 4, you minus sulfur's atomic number by 2 and get silicon. And the atomic mass is 34 - 4 which equals 30.

Your iclicker operates at a frequency of approximately 900 mhz (900x106 hz). what is the approximate wavelength of the em wave p
Umnica [9.8K]
The clicker emits EM (electromagnetic) wave which travels at the speed of light, that is
v = 3 x 10⁸ m/s

The frequency is
f = 900mHz = 9 x 10⁸ Hz

Because velocity = frequency * wavelength, the wavelength, λ,  is given by
fλ = v
λ = v/f
   = (3 x 10⁸ m/s) / (9 x 10⁸ 1/s)
   = 1/3 m

Answer:  1/3 m
