Radio stations use electromagnetic waves for broadcasting. The chart shows different frequencies of waves used by radio stations
. Which radio station has the wave with the longest wavelength?
2 answers:
Answer: radio station W
Explanation:
The wavelength of a radio wave is given by:
where
c is the speed of light
f is the frequency of the wave
From the equation, we see that the wavelength is inversely proportional to the frequency: the higher the frequency, the shorter the wavelength, the lower the frequency, the longer the wavelength.
Therefore, the waves with longest wavelength are the waves with lower frequency: therefore, the waves emitted by radio station W.

Answer:
49.07 miles
Explanation:
Angle between two ships = 110° = θ
First ship speed = 22 mph
Second ship speed = 34 mph
Distance covered by first ship after 1.2 hours = 22×1.2 = 26.4 miles = b
Distance covered by second ship after 1.2 hours = 34×1.2 = 40.8 miles = c
Here the angle between the two sides of a triangle is 110° so from the law of cosines we get
a² = b²+c²-2bc cosθ
⇒a² = 26.4²+40.8²-2×26.4×40.8 cos110
⇒a² = 2408.4
⇒a = 49.07 miles
