Answer:

$\boxed {\boxed {\sf 20 \ Hz}}$

Explanation:

The frequency of a wave can be found using the following formula.

$f=\frac{v}{\lambda}$

where f is the frequency, v is the velocity/wave speed, and λ is the wavelength.

The wavelength is 10 meters and the velocity is 200 meters per second.

1 m/s can also be written as 1 m*s^-1

Therefore:

$v= 200 \ m*s^{-1} \\\lambda = 10 \ m$

Substitute the values into the formula.

$f=\frac{200 \ m*s^{-1}}{10 \ m}$

Divide and note that the meters (m) will cancel each other out.

$f=\frac{200 \ s^{-1}}{10 \ }$

$f=20 \ s^{-1}$

1 s^-1 is equal to Hertz
Therefore, our answer of 20 s^-1 is equal to 20 Hz

$f= 20 \ Hz$

The frequency of the wave is 20 Hertz

Electric field lines always begin at _______ charges (or at infinity) and end at _______ charges (or at infinity). One could als

lesantik [10]

Answer:

Explanation:

By convention, the electric field lines (which are tangent to the direction of the electric field at a given point) always begin at positive charges, and finish at negative charges.

This is a consequence of the convention that states that the electric field has the direction of the trajectory of a positive test charge when released from rest in an electric field.

(As the positive charge would move away from positive charges and would be attracted by negative ones).

So, the combination of answers that is true is b) (positive, negative, positive).

An uniform electric field of magnitude E = 100 N/C is oriented along the positive y-axis. What is the magnitude of the flux of t

Ede4ka [16]

Answer:

The magnitude of the flux of electric field through a square of surface area is zero.

Explanation:

$E=100 NC^{-1}\\\\A=2 m^2\\\\Electic\,\,flux\,\,flux\,\,is\,\,given\,\,as:\\\\\phi_E=E.A\,cos\,\theta$

It is given that square box is parallel to yz-plane which has normal vector perpendicular to plane in x-direction. Angle between normal vector of area and electric field is 90°. Substituting in (1)

$\phi_E=E.A\,cos\,(90^o)\\\\\phi_E=0$
