A wave with a wavelength of 125 meters is moving at a speed of 20 m/s. What is it’s frequency

Physics
1 answer:
IceJOKER [234]3 years ago
8 0

Answer:

0.16Hz

Explanation:

wavelength (λ) = 125 meters

speed (V) = 20 m/s

frequency (F) = ?

Recall that frequency is the number of cycles the wave complete in one

second. And its value depends on the wavelength and speed of the wave.

So, apply the formula V = F λ

Make F the subject formula

F = V / λ

F = 20 m/s / 125 meters

F = 0.16 Hz

Misha Larkins [42]

Answer:

Speed greater than 4 m/s

Explanation:

Given that Ms. Kasper is in a panic. Her cat, Penny, is stuck in a tree and about to jump out. In order to save her cat, Ms. Kasper needs to run to the tree, 12 meters away. If it takes her cat, 3 seconds to fall, how fast would Ms. Kasper have to run to save her cat?

The distance = 12 m

Time = 3s

Speed = distance/time

Speed = 12/3

Speed = 4 m/s

Ms Kasper must run at speed more than 4m/s for her to save the cat.

"In a Young’s double-slit experiment, the separation between slits is d and the screen is a distance D from the slits. D is much
san4es73 [151]

Answer:

The number of bright fringes per unit width on the screen is, x=\dfrac{\lambda D}{d}      

Explanation:

If d is the separation between slits, D is the distance between the slit and the screen and \lambda is the wavelength of the light. Let x is the  number of bright fringes per unit width on the screen is given by :

x=\dfrac{n\lambda D}{d}

\lambda is the wavelength

n is the order

If n = 1,

x=\dfrac{\lambda D}{d}

So, the the number of bright fringes per unit width on the screen is \dfrac{\lambda D}{d}. Hence, the correct option is (B).

How often a wave occurs in the waves
Jlenok [28]

Answer:

Frequency – The frequency of a wave is the number of waves that pass a given point in a certain amount of time. Frequency is measured in units called hertz (Hz), and is defined as the number of waves per second. A wave that occurs every second has a frequency of 1 wave per second (1/s) or 1 Hz.

A light wave from a star has a frequency of 6.67 * 100 Hz and a wavelength of 4.50 x 10 to the power of -7 m.
Juliette [100K]

Answer:

speed =wavelenght x frequency

v=4.5 x 10 to the -7 x 667=0.3 x 10 to the -4 m/s

speed= distance/time

time=distance/speed

t=4 x 10 to the 16/0.3 x 10 to the -4=13.33 x 10 to the 20 seconds

Explain what happens when you continually heat a solid in terms of particle motion and state of matter.
irinina [24]

Answer:

When heat is added to a substance, the molecules and atoms vibrate faster. As atoms vibrate faster, the space between atoms increases. The motion and spacing of the particles determines the state of matter of the substance. The end result of increased molecular motion is that the object expands and takes up more space.
