Answer: Period = 0.2 seconds; frequency = 5Hz

Explanation:

Number of oscillations = 50

Time required = 10 seconds

Period (T) = ?

Frequency of the oscillations (F) = ?

A) Recall that frequency is the number of oscillations that the mass spring system completes in one second.

i.e Frequency = (Number of oscillations / time taken)

F = 50/10 = 5Hz

B) Period, T is inversely proportional to frequency. i.e Period = 1/Frequency

T = 1/5Hz

T = 0.2 seconds

Thus, the the period and frequency of the oscillations are 0.2 seconds and 5Hz respectively.

Which electromagnetic wave has the lowest frequencies (less than 3×109 hertz)?

ICE Princess25 [194]

Answer:

Radio waves

Explanation:

The electromagnetic spectrum includes all different types of waves, which are usually classified depending on their frequency. Ordering them from the highest frequency to the lowest frequency, they are:

- Gamma rays

- X-rays

- Ultraviolet

- Visible light

- Infrared radiation

- Microwaves

- Radio waves

Radio waves are the electromagnetic waves with lowest frequency, their frequency is lower than 300 GHz ( $3\cdot 10^{11} Hz$ ) and therefore they are the electromagnetic waves with lowest energy (in fact, the energy of an electromagnetic wave is proportional to its frequency). They are generally used for radio and telecommunications since this type of waves can travel up to long distances.
