Wavelength is defined by Velocity of the wave by Frequency

Symbolically

\\ \ast\bull\rm\longmapsto \lambda=\dfrac{c}{v}

  • C is speed of wave
  • v is frequency
  • lambda is wavelength

Wavelength can be defined as the distance between two successive crests or troughs of a wave.

  • The wavelength is usually represented by λ (Greek letter lambda).

  • SI unit is metre (m).

A cruise ship travels across a river at 25 meters per minute. If the river is 6200 meters wide, how long
EleoNora [17]

Answer:

248 minutes

Explanation:

6200/25=248

This means there is 248 25s in 6200

which means it will take 248 minutes to travel through the river

Also here's a neat trick:

The units for speed is meters/minute

The units for distance is meters

Dividing distance by speed will cancel out the meters and leave only the speed.

A tungsten wire has resistance R at 20°C. A second tungsten wire at 20°C has twice the length and half the cross-sectional area
Bad White [126]
The resistance is 4 times the resistance of the first wire. the formula is R = p*l/A with p being resistivity, l length and A area. So if you double length and half area, which botv result in more resistance, you get p*2/0.5 or 4 (p can be abandoned because it is the same. We take standard length and area as 1)

Are light waves longitudinal or transverse
Marysya12 [62]

Answer:

Transverse

Explanation:

There are two types of waves, according to the direction of their oscillation:

- Transverse waves: in a transverse wave, the direction of the oscillation is perpendicular to the direction of motion of the wave. Examples of transverse waves are electromagnetic waves

- Longitudinal waves: in a longitudinal wave, the direction of the oscillation is parallel to the direction of motion of the wave. Examples of longitudinal waves are sound waves.

Light waves corresponds to the visible part of the electromagnetic spectrum, which includes all the different types of electromagnetic waves (which consist of oscillations of electric and magnetic fields that are perpendicular to the direction of propagation of the wave): therefore, they are transverse waves.

Linh builds a circuit from the diagram shown. Which bulb could Linh remove from the circuit to make all of the other bulbs stop
LenKa [72]

Answer:

4

Explanation:

In order for the current to continue flowing through the circuit (and for the bulbs to continue shining), there must be a closed path containing the battery where current can flow. Let's see the effect of removing each bulb on the circuit:

- 1: when removing bulb 1 only, the current can still flow through the path battery-bulb 3- bulb 4

- 2: when removing bulb 2 only, the current can still flow through the path battery-bulb 3- bulb 4

- 3: when removing bulb 3 only, the current can still flow through the path battery-bulb 1-bulb 2- bulb 4

- 4: when removing bulb 4 only, the current can no longer flow. In fact, there is no closed path that contains the battery now, so the current will not flow and all the bulbs will stop shining.
