What is the frequency of microwaves of wavelength 3 cm?

Physics
1 answer:
tiny-mole [99]2 years ago
4 0

Answer:

10 GHz

Explanation:

Applying,

v = λf.................... Equation 1

Where v = speed of microwave, λ = wavelength, f = frequency.

make f the subject of the equation

f = v/λ................ Equation 2

Note: Microwave is an electromagnetic wave, and all electromagnetic wave have the same speed, which is 3×10⁸ m/s

From the question,

Given: λ = 3 cm = 0.03 m

Constant; v = 3×10⁸ m/s

Substitute these values into equation 2

f = 3×10⁸/(0.03)

f = 10¹⁰ Hz

f = (10¹⁰/10⁹) GHz

f = 10 GHz

A constant amount of charge passes through a conductor. How is current affected if the same amount of charge passes in less time
baherus [9]

Answer:

B. The current increases.

Explanation:

As we know that rate of flow of charge through the conductor is known as electric current

So we have

i = \frac{q}{t}

here we know that charge Q flowing through the conductor is constant while the time in which it passes through it is decreased

so we can say that the ratio of charge and time will increase

so here we have

i = increased

So correct answer will be

B. The current increases.

An object weighs 60.0 kg on the surface of the earth. How much does it weigh 4R from the surface? (5R from the center)
Alecsey [184]
"60 kg" is not a weight.  It's a mass, and it's always the same
no matter where the object goes.

The weight of the object is   

                                 (mass) x (gravity in the place where the object is) .

On the surface of the Earth,

                   Weight = (60 kg) x (9.8 m/s²)

                                =      588 Newtons.

Now, the force of gravity varies as the inverse of the square of the distance from the center of the Earth.
On the surface, the distance from the center of the Earth is 1R.
So if you move out to  5R  from the center, the gravity out there is

                    (1R/5R)²  =  (1/5)²  =  1/25  =  0.04 of its value on the surface.

The object's weight would also be 0.04 of its weight on the surface.

                 (0.04) x (588 Newtons)  =  23.52 Newtons.

Again, the object's mass is still 60 kg out there.
___________________________________________

If you have a textbook, or handout material, or a lesson DVD,
or a teacher, or an on-line unit, that says the object "weighs"
60 kilograms, then you should be raising a holy stink. 
You are being planted with sloppy, inaccurate, misleading
information, and it's going to be YOUR problem to UN-learn it later.
They owe you better material.

An ideally efficient heat pump delivers 1000 J of heat to room air at 300 K. If it extracted heat from 260 K outdoor air, how mu
choli [55]

Answer:

Wnet, in, = 133.33J

Explanation:

Given that

Pump heat QH = 1000J

Warm temperature TH= 300K

Cold temperature TL= 260K

Since the heat pump is completely reversible, the combination of coefficient of performance expression is given as,

From first law of thermodynamics,

COP(HP, rev) = 1/(1-TL/TH)

COP(HP, rev) = 1/(1-260/300)

COP(HP, rev) = 1/(1-0.867)

COP(HP, rev) = 1/0.133

COP(HP, rev) = 7.5

The power required to drive the the heat pump is given as

Wnet, in= QH/COP(HP, rev)

Wnet, in = 1000/7.5

Wnet, in = 133.333J. QED

So the 133.33J was the amount heat that was originally work consumed in the transfer.

Extra....

According to the first law, the rate at which heat is removed from the low temperature reservoir is given as

QL=QH-Wnet, in

QL=1000-133.333

QL=866.67J
