Answer:
a) 20 nodes b) zero nodes
Explanation:
When we have standing waves in a bend we have nodes at the ends and the equation describes the number of possible waves in the string is
L = n λ/2
Where λ is the wavelength, L is the length of the string, in our case it would be D and n is an entered. We can strip the wavelength of this expression
λ = 2L / n
Let's calculate what value of n we have for a wavelength equal to D/10
λ = 2D / n
λ = D / 10
We match and calculate
2D / n = D / 10
2 / n = 1/10
n = 20
Perform them for λ = D / 20
λ = 2D / n
2D / n = D / 20
n = 2 20 = 40
Since n is an inter there should be a wavelength for each value of n in the bone period there should be 20 different wavelengths
B) for La = 10D
2D / n = 10D
1 / n = 5
n = 1/5 = 0.2
La = 20D
2D / n = 20D
1 / n = 10
n = 1/10 = 0.1
These numbers are not entered so there can be no wave in this period
Answer:
The answer is D.
Explanation:
One explanation I can give you is that generally waves travel faster through denser medium because the particles are tightly packed together and so they can transfer energy faster. But to verify the answer, I used Process of Elimination because the other 3 answers are not true. Choice A is entirely true, wave speed depends on the medium it is travelling through, so there is no way choice A is correct. Choice B is wrong because for example if we take light(an EM wave), it travels at a constant speed of 3.0x10^8 m/s in a vacuum and in open space. So, that proves that air or vacuum do not affect the speed of the wave in another medium. Choice C is related to Choice B, we just proved the speed of light is constant everywhere whereas choice C says that in a vacuum the speed is halved. Good luck in your Physics class and I hope for your best!
It is radiation that transfers heat energy through space by electro radiation.
