8. Short Answer.


A communication satellite transmits a radio wave at frequency of 5x10^9 Hz. What is the signal's wavelength? Assume the wave travels in a vacuum. Show your work. (3 points)

Answer 1

Give me a minute

Answer 2

Oki ^_^

Answer 3

C (speed of light) = 3.0x10^8 m/s = wavelength * frequency.

In waves problems, frequency is inversely proportional to wavelength.

If the frequency of the radiowave (transverse wave) is 5.0x10^9

3.0x10^8 = 5.0x10^9 * wavelength

(3.0x10^8/5.0x10^9) = Wavelength = 0.06 meters

Answer 4

can I ask another question?

Go ahead.......

Answer 6

19. Both gamma rays and X-rays are used to see inside the body. Which one is used to make images of bones? how are the other rays used?

Answer 7

X-ray is used to make images of bones. Bones are very dense with Calcium nuclei which makes them very visible on the x-ray films.

Gamma ray = it would kill you. Not specifically should on the applications of gamma rays. Probably in nuclear chemistry, with nuclear fission and decay.
