It turns out that the depth in the ocean to which airborne electromagnetic signals can be detected grows with the wavelength. Th

erefore, the military got the idea of using very long wavelengths corresponding to about 30 Hz to communicate with submarines throughout the world. If we want to have an antenna that is about one-half wavelength long, how long would that be

Wavelength = speed / frequency.

Wavelength = 3x10^8 m/s / 30 hz

Wavelength = 10 million meters

1/2 wavelength = 5 million meters

(that's about 3,100 miles)

I'm pretty sure the frequency is wrong in the question.

I think it's actually 30 kHz, not 30 Hz.

That makes the antenna about 3.1 miles long.

Which is a scalar quantity displacement distance force acceleration​
cestrela7 [59]

A scalar is a quantity that is fully described by a magnitude only. It is described by just a single number. Some examples of scalar quantities include speed, volume, mass, temperature, power, energy, and time. A vector is a quantity that has both a magnitude and a direction.

I hope this helps you.

Which list of properties of alternation current is the most likely reason it was chosen over direct current to provide electrici
Paraphin [41]

Answer:

- Direct current is a current in which electrons flow in one direction only

- Alternating current is a current in which the direction of the electron flow reverses periodically - so, half a cycle forward, half a cycle backward

There are several advantages of using alternating currents for the transmission of electricity across a country, over large distances. The main advantages are:

- The voltage of alternating currents can be easily increased/decreased by using transformers. For instance, a transformer is used at the beginning of the transmission line to increase the voltage (electricity is transmitted at high voltage in order to reduce dissipated power), and then another transformer is used before the electricity enters the houses, in order to decrease the voltage. Transformers only work with alternating currents.

- It is easy to interrupt the flow of an alternating current, because its value naturally becomes zero every half a cycle, so this is useful in case the current must be interrupted.

I need help me with my question
lisov135 [29]

The tilt of the moon's axis does not allow for monthly alignment, so the lunar and solar eclipse do not happen every month.

<h3>How do the lunar and solar eclipse occur?</h3>
  • For the occurrence of lunar and solar eclipse, the sun, moon and the earth must remain in a plan and along a straight line.
  • When the earth appears in between the sun and the moon, lunar eclipse occurs.
  • When the moon appears in between the sun and the earth, solar eclipse occurs.
  • The moon and earth are rotating not only around the sun, but also around the black hole of Milky way galaxy.
  • So they are not present in a plan as well as in a straight line in every full moon and new moon time.

Thus, we can conclude that the option D is correct.

When you drop soap on the ground does the ground get dirty or does the soap get clean?
Greeley [361]

No, and no.  In fact, the consequences are exactly opposite to your description.  

When you drop soap on the ground, the soap ... which had been clean ... gets dirty, and the ground ... which had been dirty ... gets clean.
