See the diagram above. Which of the following is the best prediction of what would happen if you increased the distance in secti
on 1 of the diagram?
A. Energy would decrease
B. The frequency would increase
C. The amplitude would decrease
D. The wavelength would decrease
A. Energy would decrease
B. The frequency would increase
C. The amplitude would decrease
D. The wavelength would decrease
1 answer:
By the definition of wavelength, the answer is the letter D, the wavelength would decrease.
We can see in the diagram a wave motion.
A wave has some characteristics:
- Has an amplitude, the distance from 0 to the crest (highest point in the y-direction, point (3) in the figure) it would see in the figure as (2)
- Has wavelength, the distance between the crests.
- Has a trough, the lowest point in the y-direction.
Now, if we increase the distance of the crests, by the definition shown above, we will increase the wavelength.
Therefore, the answer is letter D, the wavelength would increase.

Answer:
Explanation:
Given
Diameter of Pulley=10.4 cm
mass of Pulley(m)=2.3 kg
mass of book
height(h)=1 m
time taken=0.64 s
where is angular acceleration of pulley
And Tension in Rope
T=8.364 N
and Tension will provide Torque
Thus mass is uniformly distributed or some more towards periphery of Pulley
