Answer:

λ = 437 m.

Explanation:

Since a radio wave is a electromagnetic type of wave, it propagates approximately at the same speed of light in vacuum, 3*10⁸ m/s.
As in any wave, there exist a fixed relationship between the propagation speed, the wavelength and the frequency of the radio wave, as follows:

$c = \lambda* f (1)$

Replacing by the values of the speed and the frequency, and solving for the wavelength λ, we get:

$\lambda = \frac{c}{f} =\frac{3e8 m/s}{685.9e31/s} =437 m (2)$

Answer:

Explanation:

Electron's kinetic energy = 2 eV

= 2 x 1.6 x 10⁻¹⁹ J

1/2 m v² = 3.2 x 10⁻¹⁹

1/2 x 9.1 x 10⁻³¹ x v² = 3.2 x 10⁻¹⁹

v² = .703 x 10¹²

v = .8385 x 10⁶ m/s

Electrons revolve in a circular orbit when forced to travel in a magnetic field whose radius can be expressed as follows

r = mv / Bq

where m , v and q are mass , velocity and charge of electron .

here given magnetic field B = 90 mT

= 90 x 10⁻³ T

Putting these values in the expression above

r = mv / Bq

= $\frac{9\times10^{-31}\times.8385\times10^6}{90\times10^{-3}\times1.6\times10^{-19}}$

= .052 mm.

The speed of sound in ice, water, and steam is shown. What best explains the speed of sound in different states of matter?

Marina86 [1]

The speed of sound is greater in ice (4000 m/s), then in water (1500 m/s), then in air (340 m/s). The explanation for this is the differente state of the matter in the three cases.

In fact, sound waves travel faster in solids (like ice), then in liquids (like water), then in gases (like air). This is because the speed of the sound wave depends on the density of the medium: the greater the density, the faster the sound wave. This can be easily understood by thinking at how a sound wave propagates: a sound wave is a vibration of molecules, which is transmitted throughout the medium by collision of the molecules. Therefore, the smaller the spacing between the molecules (such as in solids), the more efficient is the propagation, and so the sound wave is faster. On the contrary, there is a large spacing between molecules in gases (such as in the air), so there are less collisions between the molecules and so the wave is not transmitted efficiently, and so it has less velocity.

An electric air heater consists of a horizontal array of thin metal strips that are each 10 mm long in the direction of an airst

sweet-ann [11.9K]

Answer:

see explanation below

Explanation:

Given that,

$T_1 =$ 500°C

$T_2$ = 25°C

d = 0.2m

L = 10mm = 0.01m

U₀ = 2m/s

Calculate average temperature

$\\T_{avg} = \frac{T_1 + T_2}{2} \\\\T_{avg} = \frac{500 + 25}{2} \\\\T_{avg} = 262.5$

262.5 + 273

= 535.5K

From properties of air table A-4 corresponding to $T_{avg}$ = 535.5K $\approx 550K$

k = 43.9 × 10⁻³W/m.k

v = 47.57 × 10⁻⁶ m²/s

$P_r = 0.63$

A)

Number for the first strips is equal to

$R_e_x = \frac{u_o.L}{v}$

$R_e_x = \frac{2\times 0.01}{47.57 \times 10^-^6 }\\\\= 420.4$

Calculating heat transfer coefficient from the first strip

$h_1 = \frac{k}{L} \times 0.664 \times R_e_x^1^/^2 \times P_r^1^/^3$

$h_1 = \frac{43.9 \times 10^-^3}{0.01} \times 0.664\times420 \times 4^1^/^2 \times 0.683^1^/^3\\\\= 52.6W/km^2$

The rate of convection heat transfer from the first strip is

$q_1 = h_1\times(L\times d)\times(T_1 - T_2)\\\\q_1 = 52.6 \times (0.01\times0.2)\times(500-25)\\\\q_1 = 50W$

The rate of convection heat transfer from the fifth trip is equal to

$q_5 = (5 \times h_o_-_5-4\times h_o_-_4) \times(L\times d)\times (T_1 -T_2)$

$h_o_-_5 = \frac{k}{5L} \times 0.664 \times (\frac{u_o\times 5L}{v} )^1^/^2\times Pr^1^/^3\\\\= \frac{43.9\times10^-^3}{0.05} \times0.664\times (\frac{2 \times 0.05}{47.57 \times 10^-^6} )^1^/^2\times 0.683^1^/^3\\\\= 25.5W/Km^2$

Calculating $h_o_-_4$

$h_o_-_4 = \frac{k}{4L} \times 0.664 \times (\frac{u_o\times 4L}{v } )^1^/^2\times Pr^1^/^3\\\\= \frac{43.9\times10^-^3}{0.04} \times0.664\times (\frac{2 \times 0.04}{47.57 \times 10^-^6} )^1^/^2\times 0.683^1^/^3\\\\= 26.3W/Km^2$

The rate of convection heat transfer from the tenth strip is

$q_1_0 = (10 \times h_o_-_1_0-9\times h_o_-_9) \times(L\times d)\times (T_1 -T_2)$

$h_o_-_1_0 = \frac{k}{10L} \times 0.664 \times (\frac{u_o\times 10L}{v } )^1^/^2\times Pr^1^/^3\\\\= \frac{43.9\times10^-^3}{0.1} \times0.664\times (\frac{2 \times 0.1}{47.57 \times 10^-^6} )^1^/^2\times 0.683^1^/^3\\\\= 16.6W/Km^2$

Calculating

$h_o_-_9 = \frac{k}{9L} \times 0.664 \times (\frac{u_o\times 9L}{v } )^1^/^2\times Pr^1^/^3\\\\= \frac{43.9\times10^-^3}{0.09} \times0.664\times (\frac{2 \times 0.09}{47.57 \times 10^-^6} )^1^/^2\times 0.683^1^/^3\\\\= 17.5W/Km^2$

Calculating the rate of convection heat transfer from the tenth strip

$q_1_0 = (10 \times h_o_-_1_0-9\times h_o_-_9) \times(L\times d)\times (T_1 -T_2)\\\\q_1_0 = (10 \times 16.6 -9\times 17.5) \times(0.01\times 0.2)\times (500 -25)\\\\=8.1W$

The rate of convection heat transfer from 25th strip is equal to

$q_2_5 = (25 \times h_o_-_2_5-24\times h_o_-_2_4) \times(L\times d)\times (T_1 -T_2)$

Calculating $h_o_-_2_5$

$h_o_-_2_5 = \frac{k}{25L} \times 0.664 \times (\frac{u_o\times 25L}{v } )^1^/^2\times Pr^1^/^3\\\\= \frac{43.9\times10^-^3}{0.25} \times0.664\times (\frac{2 \times 0.25}{47.57 \times 10^-^6} )^1^/^2\times 0.683^1^/^3\\\\= 10.5W/Km^2$

Calculating $h_o_-_2_4$

$h_o_-_2_4 = \frac{k}{24L} \times 0.664 \times (\frac{u_o\times 24L}{v } )^1^/^2\times Pr^1^/^3\\\\= \frac{43.9\times10^-^3}{0.24} \times0.664\times (\frac{2 \times 0.24}{47.57 \times 10^-^6} )^1^/^2\times 0.683^1^/^3\\\\= 10.7W/Km^2$

Calculating the rate of convection heat transfer from the tenth strip

$q_2_5 = (25 \times h_o_-_2_5-24\times h_o_-_2_4) \times(L\times d)\times (T_1 -T_2)\\\\q_1_0 = (25 \times 10.5 -24\times 10.7) \times(0.01\times 0.2)\times (500 -25)\\\\=5.4W$
