What's the definition of wavelength?

Physics

The Wavelength is the distance between the same points on two adjacent (neighbouring) disturbances (e.g. from crest to crest or from compression to compression) i.e. one full cycle of the wave.

vodka [1.7K]

Answer:

Explanation:

a ) Time period  T = 2 s

Angular velocity ω = 2π / T

=  2π / 2 = 3.14 rad /s

Initial moment of inertia I₁ = 200 + mr²

= 200 + 25 x 2.5²

=356.25

Final moment of inertia

I₂ = 200 + 25 X 1.5 X 1.5

= 256.25

b ) We apply law of conservation of momentum

I₁ X ω₁ =  I₂ X ω₂

ω₂ = I₁ X ω₁ / I₂

Putting the values

w_2=\frac{356.25\times3.14}{256.25}

ω₂ = 4.365 rad s⁻¹

c ) Increase in rotational kinetic energy

=1/2 I₂ X ω₂² -  1/2 I₁ X ω₁²

.5 X 256.25 X 4.365² - .5 X 356.25 X 3.14²

= 684.95 J

This energy comes from work done against the centripetal pseudo -force.

2. An optical fibre is 1200km long and it takes light 0.006s to travel from one end to the other. Calculate the speed of light i
natita [175]
The average speed <em>appears to be</em> (distance) / (time) =

(length of the cable) / (time from when a pulse goes in until it comes out the other end) .

That's  1,200,000 meters/ 0.006 second  =  2 x 10^8 = <em>2 hundred million m/sec</em>

That figure is about 66.7% of the speed of light in vacuum.

The reason I went through all of this detail was to point out that this is
NOT necessarily the speed of light in this glass, for two reasons.

1).  The path of light through an optical fiber is not straight down the middle.  In the original fibers of 20 or 30 years ago, the light bounced back and forth off the inside walls of the fiber, and zig-zagged its way along the length.  In current modern fibers, it still zig-zags, but it's a more gentle, up-and-down curved path.  In either case, the distance covered by the light inside the fiber is more than the straight length of the cable, and the time it takes it to come out the other end is more than its actual speed inside the glass would have meant if it could have traveled straight through the pipe.

2).  This problem talks about an optical fiber that's 1,200km long.  There is loss in optical fiber, and you're NOT going to get light all the way through a single piece of it that's something like 745 miles long.  It takes electronic repeaters, "boosters", and regenerators every few miles to keep it going, and these devices add "latency" or time delay in the process of going through them.  That delay in the electronics shows up as apparent delay through the fiber-optic cable, and it makes the speed through the glass appear to be slower than it actually is.

Write about Archimedes principle​
Schach [20]

Answer:

Archimedes' principle states that the upward buoyant force that is exerted on a body immersed in a fluid, whether fully or partially, is equal to the weight of the fluid that the body displaces. Archimedes' principle is a law of physics fundamental to fluid mechanics.
