What is distance between one peak and the next in a wave?
If you mean between two positive, or two negative, peaks of an electrical wave, it's the wavelength. If it's a pressure wave, "peak" is usually taken to mean "maximum pressure", so it would be between "peaks".
Does longer wavelength mean higher frequency?
No. Longer wavelength means lower frequency.When you multiply wavelength by frequency, the product is always the same.
What is mean by cutoff wavelength .simple definiion?
It is the range of wavelength at which the energy flowing through the system begins to reduce or attenuated. In case of devices, it is the wavelength at which interruption or cessation in power takes place.
Do waves diffract best when their wavelength is similar in size to the opening they are moving through?
Yes i took this question yesterday in science
What is the wavelength range of a microwave?
10 centimeters or less If you mean "microwave oven", those operate at the frequency of 2.45 GHz, where the wavelength is 12.24 centimeters.
When the wavelength of a wave gets higher what happens to the frequency or speed?
When the wavelength of a wave gets higher the speed decreases. This is a studied in science.
Are there any science words that starts with W?
Wave, as in sound wave, and weight.
What do you mean by using the word wavelength?
The word "wavelength" refers to the frequency of a wave. Wavelength is measured in hertz; the number of vibrations per second.
What does nm in calculation of ultraviolet rays mean?
nm = nanometers It is a measure of the wavelength of the light, with energy inversely proportional to the wavelength: E = h / wavelength
Are sound waves all the same size?
Do you mean the wavelength? Sound of higher frequencies has a shorter wavelength.
What is distance between one peak and the next in a wave?
If you mean between two positive, or two negative, peaks of an electrical wave, it's the wavelength. If it's a pressure wave, "peak" is usually taken to mean "maximum pressure", so it would be between "peaks".
When they say Increasing wavelength Referring to spectrum do they mean short wavelengths?
increasing wavelength means shorter frequency.
Wavelength of sodium chloride?
Sodium chloride has not a wavelenth. The most important wavelength of sodium is 589,29 nm (the mean of D1 and D2 lines).
What does spatial science mean?
science mean having
Does longer wavelength mean higher frequency?
No. Longer wavelength means lower frequency.When you multiply wavelength by frequency, the product is always the same.
How do math and science interrelate?
You can use mathematical formulas to determine measurements of mass, force, weight, wavelength, etc.
What is mean by cutoff wavelength .simple definiion?
It is the range of wavelength at which the energy flowing through the system begins to reduce or attenuated. In case of devices, it is the wavelength at which interruption or cessation in power takes place.
