Why do meandering streams form an alternating series of cut banks and point bars along their course?

Physics
1 answer:
Vinvika [58]4 years ago
8 0

Answer:

A stream erodes the outsiders of meanders and deposits sand and gravel on the inside bends to from point bars. Both the velocity and channel depths are greatest near the outside bend and stream erode at outsides banks. In the same time sediment erodes is deposited in the slower water on the inside of the meander forming a point bar. Because the outside bank of a meander is eroded and sediment is deposited on the insde of the bend towards its outside bank. Hence in this meandering streams form an alternating series of cut banks and point bars along there course.

A bird travels 1.70 x 10^4 km south then turns around and travels 6.00 x 10^2 north. He then turns around again immediately and
Citrus2011 [14]

The distance the bird flies is (17,000 + 600 + 14,400) = 32,000 km.

His average speed is (32,000 km)/(122 days) = 262.3 km/day.


The bird ends up (17,000 - 600 + 14,400) = 30,800 km north
from where he started.

His average velocity is (30,800 km)/(122 days) = 252.5 km/day north .

Determine the speed, wavelength, and frequency of light from a helium-neon laser as it travels through diamond. The wavelength o
vladimir1956 [14]

Answer:

speed =  1.24 ×  10⁸m/s

frequency = 4.74 × 10¹⁴Hz

wavelength = 262nm

Explanation:

the speed of the helium-neon light in zircon is given by,

v = c / n

c = 3 × 10⁸m/s is the speed of light in vacuum (and in air)

n = 2.419 is the refractive index of diamond

v = 3 × 10⁸ / 2.419

= 1.24 ×  10⁸m/s

(b) Frequency

The wavelength of the light in air is:

λ₀ = 632.8 × 10⁻⁹

The frequency of the light does not depend on the medium, so it is equal in air and in diamond. Therefore, we can calculate the frequency by using the speed of light in air and the wavelength in air:

f₀ = c / λ₀

= 3 × 10⁸ / 632.8 × 10⁻⁹

= 4.74 × 10¹⁴Hz

and the frequency of the light indiamond is the same:

f¹ = f₀ =  4.74 × 10¹⁴Hz

(c) Wavelength

To calculate the wavelength of the light in daimond, we can use the relationship between speed of light in diamond and frequency:

λ¹ = v / f¹

= 1.24 ×  10⁸ / 4.74 × 10¹⁴

= 2.62 × 10⁻⁷m

= 262nm
