The diagram shows a wave moving from one medium to another

Physics
1 answer:
Shtirlitz [24]2 years ago

As the speed of wave decreases, the wavelength of the wave decreases.

<h3>Refraction</h3>

We know that as a wave travels from one medium to another its speed decreases depending on if the first medium is less dense than the second medium or increases depending on if the first medium is more dense than the second medium. This is known as refraction

Now, we know that the speed of a wave v = fλ where

  • f = frequency and
  • λ = wavelength. Since f is constant, v ∝ λ.

The ratio of the speed in medium one to speed in medium two is called the refractive index of medium 1 to 2.

<h3>Explaining the diagram</h3>

From the diagram, we see that the wavelength in medium 1 is longer than that in medium 2. Since wavelength and speed are proportional, so the speed in medium 1 is also greater than the speed in medium 2.

So, As the speed of wave decreases, the wavelength of the wave decreases.

Would you be doing more work going up the stairs twice as fast?
SSSSS [86.1K]
If you use the stairs at normal speed, you will survive longer, and go up higher.
When going up the stairs twice as fast, you lose energy more quickly, but height would remain the same.

Calculate the height of a cliff if it takes 2.35s for a rock to hit the ground when it is thrown straight up from the cliff with
ad-work [718]

Answer:

y₀ = 10.625 m

Explanation:

For this exercise we will use the kinematic relations, where the upward direction is positive.

         y = y₀ + v₀ t - ½ g t²

in the exercise they indicate the initial velocity v₀ = 8 m / s.

when the rock reaches the ground its height is zero

         0 = y₀ + v₀ t - ½ g t²

        y₀i = -v₀ t + ½ g t²

let's calculate

         y₀ = - 8  2.5 + ½  9.8  2.5²

         y₀ = 10.625 m

Water can dissolve almost anything in the universe
Elodia [21]

Answer:

No, its not possible for water to dissolve almost anything in the universe.

Explanation:

Solubility of a solute defines the ability of that solute to dissolve in a given solvent. It is defined as the maximum amount of solute dissolved in a solvent at equilibrium. The solution which results from dissolving this maximum amount is called a saturated solution, and one it has been reached, no more solute can be dissolved in it.

Different substances in the universe have diffferent solubilities in water, some very high (soluble) (eg. sugar and salt) and some very low (insoluble) (eg plastics). The substances that are able to form bonds with water (Hydrogen or Ionic) are more soluble than those who are not able to do so.

A magnet is moved in and out of a coil of wire connected to a high-resistance voltmeter. If the number of coils doubles, the ind
Varvara68 [4.7K]

Answer:

A. Doubles.

Explanation:

In an electromagnetic device such as a generator, when a wire (conductor) moves through the magnetic field between the South and North poles of a magnet, an electromotive force (e.m.f) is usually induced across a wire

The mode of operation of a generator is that a metal core with copper tightly wound to it (conductor coil) rotates rapidly between the two (2) poles of a horseshoe magnet type. Thus when the conductor coil rotates rapidly, it cuts the magnetic field existing between the poles of the horseshoe magnet and then induces the flow of current.

When a high-resistance voltmeter is connected to an electric circuit, a deflection will arise due to the flow of electricity. Moving the magnet towards the coil of wire will cause the needle of the high-resistance voltmeter to move in one direction. Also, as the magnet is moved out from the coil of wire, the needle of the high-resistance voltmeter moves in the opposite direction.

In this scenario, a magnet is moved in and out of a coil of wire connected to a high-resistance voltmeter. If the number of coils doubles, the induced voltage doubles because the number of turns (voltage) in the primary winding is directly proportional to the number of turns (voltage) in the secondary winding.
