At what rate must electrons in a wire vibrate to emit microwaves with a wavelength of 1.00 mm

2 answers:

7 0

The equation to use is v=fλ where v is the speed of light, f is the frequency, i.e. the rate at which they vibrate, and λ is the wavelength in meters.

Rearrange the above equation and you get f=v/λ. So the answer is f=300000000/0.001 or 300GHz.

Answer:

f = 3×10¹¹ Hz

Explanation:

Relation ship between frequency and wavelength

"The wave speed (v) is defined as the distance traveled by a wave per unit time. If considered that the wave travels a distance of one wavelength in one period,

ν=λ/T

As we know that T = 1/f, hence we can express the above equation as,

V = f λ

The wave speed is equal to the product of its frequency and wavelength, and this implies the relationship between frequency and wavelength."

The relation between frequency and wavelength is

λ×f = c

c = speed of light = 3×10⁸ m/s

λ = 1.00 mm = 10⁻³ m

f=c/λ

f=(3×10⁸ m/s)/ 10⁻³ m

f = 3×10¹¹ Hz

Voices of swimmers at a pool travel 400 m/s through the air and 1,600 m/s underwater. The wavelength changes from 2 m in the air

frosja888 [35]

The frequency of the wave has not changed.

In fact, the frequency of a wave is given by:

$f=\frac{v}{\lambda}$

where v is the wave's speed and $\lambda$ is the wavelength.

Applying the formula:

- In air, the frequency of the wave is:

$f=\frac{400 m/s}{2 m}=200 Hz$

- underwater, the frequency of the wave is:

$f=\frac{1600 m/s}{8 m}=200 Hz$

So, the frequency has not changed.

A heat engine accepts 200,000 Btu of heat from a source at 1500 R and rejects 100,000 Btu of heat to a sink at 600 R. Calculate

diamong [38]

To solve the problem it is necessary to apply the concepts related to the conservation of energy through the heat transferred and the work done, as well as through the calculation of entropy due to heat and temperatra.

By definition we know that the change in entropy is given by

$\Delta S = \frac{Q}{T}$

Where,

Q = Heat transfer

T = Temperature

On the other hand we know that by conserving energy the work done in a system is equal to the change in heat transferred, that is

$W = Q_{source}-Q_{sink}$

According to the data given we have to,

$Q_{source} = 200000Btu$

$T_{source} = 1500R$

$Q_{sink} = 100000Btu$

$T_{sink} = 600R$

PART A) The total change in entropy, would be given by the changes that exist in the source and sink, that is

$\Delta S_{sink} = \frac{Q_{sink}}{T_{sink}}$

$\Delta S_{sink} = \frac{100000}{600}$

$\Delta S_{sink} = 166.67Btu/R$

On the other hand,

$\Delta S_{source} = \frac{Q_{source}}{T_{source}}$

$\Delta S_{source} = \frac{-200000}{1500}$

$\Delta S_{source} = -133.33Btu/R$

The total change of entropy would be,

$S = \Delta S_{source}+\Delta S_{sink}$

$S = -133.33+166.67$

$S = 33.34Btu/R$

Since $S\neq 0$ the heat engine is not reversible.

PART B)

Work done by heat engine is given by

$W=Q_{source}-Q_{sink}$

$W = 200000-100000$

$W = 100000 Btu$

Therefore the work in the system is 100000Btu

A certain satellite travels in an approximately circular orbit of radius 2.0 × 106 m with a period of 7 h 11 min. Calculate the

kap26 [50]

Answer: Mass of the planet, M= 8.53 x 10^8kg

Explanation:

Given Radius = 2.0 x 106m

Period T = 7h 11m

Using the third law of kepler's equation which states that the square of the orbital period of any planet is proportional to the cube of the semi-major axis of its orbit.

This is represented by the equation

T^2 = ( 4π^2/GM) R^3

Where T is the period in seconds

T = (7h x 60m + 11m)(60 sec)

= 25860 sec

G represents the gravitational constant

= 6.6 x 10^-11 N.m^2/kg^2 and M is the mass of the planet

Making M the subject of the formula,

M = (4π^2/G)*R^3/T^2

M = (4π^2/ 6.6 x10^-11)*(2×106m)^3(25860s)^2

Therefore Mass of the planet, M= 8.53 x 10^8kg

In pulling two identical carry-on bags through the airport, Mr. Myers and his 13 year old grandson, Vincent, do the same amount

Novay_Z [31]

Answer:

Mr Myers and his son use the same force to pull the bags between the gates

Explanation:

The work done by Mr. Myers in pulling the carryon bags = The work done by his 13 year old grandson in pulling the identical bag

Let F₁ represent the force used by Mr Myers, and let F₂ represent the force F₂ used by his grandson

Let d represent the distance through the gate

Therefore, given that Work done, W = Force, F × Distance, we have;

The work done by Mr Myers between the gates, W₁ = F₁ × d

The work done by his grandson between the gates, W₂ = F₂ × d

Where, the work done by both Mr Myers and his grandson are equal, we have;

W₁ = W₂ and therefore, F₁ × d = F₂ × d, which gives;

F₁ = F₂, the force used by both Mr Myers and his son between the gates are equal.
