For a wave, what term is defined as the maximum height of a crest, or depth of a trough, relative to the normal level

Physics

Answer:

Amplitude.

Explanation:

Radio waves can be defined as an electromagnetic wave that has its frequency ranging from 30 GHz to 300 GHz and its wavelength between 1mm and 3000m. Therefore, radio waves are a series of repetitive valleys and peaks that are typically characterized of having the longest wavelength in the electromagnetic spectrum.

Basically, as a result of radio waves having long wavelengths, they are mainly used in long-distance communications such as the carriage and transmission of data. Some examples of communication technologies that uses radio waves are radio set, mobile phones, television etc.

For a wave, an amplitude is defined as the maximum height of a crest, or depth of a trough, relative to the normal level

1. An excited lithium atom emits a red light with wavelength a = 671nm. What is the corresponding photon energy? hc (6.63 x 10-3
Rudiy27

Answer:

 E = 2,964 10⁻¹⁹ J

Explanation:

The energy of the photons is given by the Planck relation

          E = h f

the speed of light is related to wavelength and frequency

          c = λ f

we substitute

          E = h c /λ

let's reduce the magnitude to the SI system

          λ = 671 nm = 671 10⁻⁹ m

let's calculate

          E = 6.63 10⁻³⁴ 3 10⁸ /671 10⁻⁹

          E = 2,964 10⁻¹⁹ J

Why are there so few eclipses in 2014?
Sonbull [250]

Answer:

Because the Moon casts a smaller shadow than Earth does, eclipses of the Sun tightly constrain where you can see them. If the Moon completely hides the Sun, even for a moment, the eclipse is considered total.

A chinook salmon needs to jump a waterfall that is 1.5 m high. If the fish starts from a distance of 1.00 m from the base of the
____ [38]
 <span>let the fsh jump with initial velocity (u) in direction (angle p) with horizontal 

it can cross and reach top of trajectory if its top height h = 1.5m 
and horizontal distance d = (1/2) Range 
--------------------------------------... 
let t be top height time 
at top height, vertical component of its velocity =0 
vy = 0 = u sin p - gt 
t = u sin p/g 
h = [u sin p]*t - 0.5 g[t[^2 
1.5 = u^2 sin^2 p/g - u^2 sin^2 p/2g 
u^2 sin^2 p/2g = 1.5 
u^2 sin^2 p = 1.5*2*9.8 = 29.4 
u sin p = 5.42 m/s >>>>>>>>>>>>>>> V-component 
===================== 
t = HALF the time of flight 
d = (1/2) Range (R) = (1/2) [2 u^2 sin p cos p/g] 
1 = u^2 sin p cos p/g 
u sin p * u cos p = 9.8 
5.42 * u cos p = 9.8 
u cos p = 1.81 m/s >>>>>>>>>>>>> H-component 
check>> 
u = sqrt[u^2 cos^2 p + u^2 sin^2 p] = 5.71 m/s 
u < less than fish's potential jump speed 6.26 m/s 

so it will able to cross</span>

Kissa and Lily ran a race in gym class Lily was off balance so she did not start until 2 seconds had passed
Paul [167]
Average speed = (distance covered) / (time to cover the distance)

Tissa covered 60 meters in 10 seconds. Her average speed was

(60 m) / (10 sec) = 6 m/s.

That's the slope of the dotted line.

Lilly covered 60 meters in 8 seconds. Her average speed was

(60 m) / (8 sec) = 7.5 m/s .

That's the slope of the solid line.

Lilly covered the same distance in less time, and both girls
arrived at the finish line together. Technically, in science talk,
we would say that Lilly ran "faster", and her average speed
was "greater".

We can detect that by looking at the graph, because Lilly's line
has the characteristic of being "steeper", and we know that the
slope of the line on a distance/time graph is "speed".

The technology in which parabolic mirror arrays are placed in a desert with a water-filled pipe traversing the array is used to
andriy [413]

Answer:

The sun

Explanation:

In this system the energy of the sun heats the water in the pipe, producing a high pressured steam, which is used for moving a turbine and producing electricity, is a transformation of energy from solar to thermal, then to mechanical to electrical.
