The velocity of a given wave remains the same while the wavelength increases. What happens to the frequency of the wave?

Physics
1 answer:
Degger [83]2 years ago
5 0

Answer:

B. It decreases proportionally to the wavelength

Explanation:

The relationship between wavelength, velocity, and frequency of a wave is given as;

f = \frac{v}{\lambda}

where;

f is the frequency of the wave

v is the velocity of the wave

λ is the wavelength

From the equation above, the frequency of a wave is inversely proportional to its wavelength. As the wavelength increases, the frequency decreases and vice versa.

Therefore, the correct option is "B"

B. It decreases proportionally to the wavelength

When the tympanic membrane vibrates with the same frequency as the incoming sound waves it is known asamplitude.pitch.hertz.reso
Sphinxa [80]
<h2>Answer: Resonance </h2>

Resonance is a phenomenon that occurs when a body capable of vibrating is subjected to the action of a periodic force, whose frequency of vibration approaches the characteristic frequency of vibration (called resonance frequence) of said body. This is due a relatively small force applied in a repeated form, causing the amplitude of the oscillating system to become very large.

In other words, for the specific case of sound waves, this phenomenon occurs when the frequency of the  wave that is external to the system or body coincides with the resonance frequency (characteristic frequency that reaches the maximum degree of oscillation) of this system or body.

In these circumstances the body vibrates, progressively increasing the amplitude of movement after each successive actions of the force. However, this effect can be destructive in some rigid materials.

The y component of the electric field of an electromagnetic wave traveling in the +x direction through vacuum obeys the equation
Alexxx [7]

Answer: 8.6 µm

Explanation:

At a long distance from the source, the components (the electric and magnetic fields) of the electromagnetic waves, behave like plane waves, so the equation for the y component of the electric field obeys an equation like this one:

Ey =Emax cos (kx-ωt)

So, we can write the following equality:

ω= 2.2 1014 rad/sec

The angular frequency and the linear frequency are related as follows:

f = ω/ 2π= 2.2 1014 / 2π (rad/sec) / rad = 0.35 1014 1/sec

In an electromagnetic wave propagating through vacuum, the speed of the wave is just the speed of light, c.

The wavelength, speed and frequency, are related by this equation:

λ = c/f

λ = 3.108 m/s / 0.35. 1014 1/s = 8.6 µm.
