Answer:
Therefore,
The frequency heard by the engineer on train 1
Explanation:
Given:
Two trains on separate tracks move toward each other
For Train 1 Velocity of the observer,
For Train 2 Velocity of the Source,
Frequency of Source,
To Find:
Frequency of Observer,
(frequency heard by the engineer on train 1)
Solution:
Here we can use the Doppler effect equation to calculate both the velocity of the source and observer
, the original frequency of the sound waves
and the observed frequency of the sound waves
,
The Equation is
Where,
v = velocity of sound in air = 343 m/s
Substituting the values we get
Therefore,
The frequency heard by the engineer on train 1
Answer:
The wavelength of radio waves is much longer than the wavelength of visible light waves
Explanation:
Electromagnetic waves are periodic oscillations of the electric and the magnetic fields, occuring in a plane perpendicular to the direction of motion the wave.
Electromagnetic waves are the only waves able to travel in a vacuum; they travel at the speed of light:
Electromagnetic waves are also classified into 7 different types, according to their wavelength/frequency. From longest to shortest wavelength, we have: (with the corresponding wavelength written in the brackets):
Radio waves (>1 m)
Microwaves (1 mm - 1 m)
Infrared (750 nm - 1 mm)
Visible light (380 nm - 750 nm)
Ultraviolet (10 nm - 380 nm)
X-rays (0.01 nm - 10 nm)
Gamma rays (<0.01 nm)
So from the table, we can see that:
The wavelength of radio waves is much longer than the wavelength of visible light waves.
