If a short-wave radio station broadcasts on a frequency of 9.065 megahertz (MHz), what is the wavelength of

Yakvenalex [24]

Answer:

If the radio wave is on an FM station, these are in Megahertz. A megahertz is one ... Typical radio wave frequencies are about 88~108 MHz .

Explanation:

To calculate the wavelength of a radio wave, you will be using the equation: Speed of a wave = wavelength X frequency.

Since radio waves are electromagnetic waves and travel at 2.997 X

8

meters/second, then you will need to know the frequency of the radio wave.

If the radio wave is on an FM station, these are in Megahertz. A megahertz is one million hertz. If the radio wave is from an AM radio station, these are in kilohertz (there are one thousand hertz in a kilohertz). Hertz are waves/second. Hertz is usually the label for the frequency of electromagnetic waves.

To conclude, to determine the wavelength of a radio wave, you take the speed and divide it by the frequency.

An atom of carbon has a radius of 67.0 pm and the average orbital speed of the electrons in it is about 1.3 x 10⁶ m/s.

adoni [48]

Answer :

The least possible uncertainty in an electron's velocity is, $4.32\times 10^{5}m/s$

The percentage of the average speed is, 33 %

Explanation :

According to the Heisenberg's uncertainty principle,

$\Delta x\times \Delta p=\frac{h}{4\pi}$ ...........(1)

where,

$\Delta x$ = uncertainty in position

$\Delta p$ = uncertainty in momentum

h = Planck's constant

And as we know that the momentum is the product of mass and velocity of an object.

$p=m\times v$

or,

$\Delta p=m\times \Delta v$ .......(2)

Equating 1 and 2, we get:

$\Delta x\times m\times \Delta v=\frac{h}{4\pi}$

$\Delta v=\frac{h}{4\pi \Delta x\times m}$

Given:

m = mass of electron = $9.11\times 10^{-31}kg$

h = Planck's constant = $6.626\times 10^{-34}Js$

radius of atom = $67.0pm=67.0\times 10^{-12}m$ $(1pm=10^{-12}m)$

$\Delta x$ = diameter of atom = $2\times 67.0\times 10^{-12}m=134.0\times 10^{-12}m$

Now put all the given values in the above formula, we get:

$\Delta v=\frac{6.626\times 10^{-34}Js}{4\times 3.14\times (134.0\times 10^{-12}m)\times (9.11\times 10^{-31}kg)}$

$\Delta v=4.32\times 10^{5}m/s$

The minimum uncertainty in an electron's velocity is, $4.32\times 10^{5}m/s$

Now we have to calculate the percentage of the average speed.

Percentage of average speed = $\frac{\text{Uncertainty in speed}}{\text{Average speed}}\times 100$

Uncertainty in speed = $4.32\times 10^{5}m/s$

Average speed = $1.3\times 10^{6}m/s$

Percentage of average speed = $\frac{4.32\times 10^{5}m/s}{1.3\times 10^{6}m/s}\times 100$

Percentage of average speed = 33.2 % ≈ 33 %

Thus, the percentage of the average speed is, 33 %

A parallel-plate capacitor has plates of area A. The plates are initially separated by a distance d, but this distance can be va

ohaa [14]

Answer:

d' = d /2

Explanation:

Given that

Distance = d

Voltage =V

We know that energy in capacitor given as

$U=\dfrac{1}{2}CV^2$

$C=\dfrac{\varepsilon _oA}{d}$

$U=\dfrac{1}{2}\times \dfrac{\varepsilon _oA}{d}\times V^2$

If energy become double U' = 2 U then d'

$U'=\dfrac{1}{2}\times \dfrac{\varepsilon _oA}{d'}\times V^2$

$2U=\dfrac{1}{2}\times \dfrac{\varepsilon _oA}{d'}\times V^2$

$2\times \dfrac{1}{2}\times \dfrac{\varepsilon _oA}{d}\times V^2=\dfrac{1}{2}\times \dfrac{\varepsilon _oA}{d'}\times V^2$

2 d ' = d

d' = d /2

So the distance between plates will be half on initial distance.
