Wave Wavelength

AI Thread Summary

The wavelength of a wave with a frequency of 60 MHz can be calculated using the formula λ = c/f, where c is the speed of light. This results in a wavelength of approximately 5 meters. The discussion references Ampere's law, which relates magnetic fields to electric currents, indicating the importance of understanding vector relationships in this context. The dot product between the magnetic field vector and the differential length vector is crucial for applying Ampere's law effectively. Overall, the calculation of wavelength and its relation to electromagnetic principles is emphasized.

Well amperes law is: ##\oint \vec{B}\cdot d\vec{s}=\mu_{o}I##. If you know its a wire, what does that tell you about the ds? And the dot product between the vectors B and ds is what? With that you can plug in 0.5B to find R...

Thread 'Errors and significant figures'

I multiplied the values first without the error limit. Got 19.38. rounded it off to 2 significant figures since the given data has 2 significant figures. So = 19. For error I used the above formula. It comes out about 1.48. Now my question is. Should I write the answer as 19±1.5 (rounding 1.48 to 2 significant figures) OR should I write it as 19±1. So in short, should the error have same number of significant figures as the mean value or should it have the same number of decimal places as...

Thread 'A cylinder connected to a hanging mass'

Let's declare that for the cylinder, mass = M = 10 kg Radius = R = 4 m For the wall and the floor, Friction coeff = ##\mu## = 0.5 For the hanging mass, mass = m = 11 kg First, we divide the force according to their respective plane (x and y thing, correct me if I'm wrong) and according to which, cylinder or the hanging mass, they're working on. Force on the hanging mass $$mg - T = ma$$ Force(Cylinder) on y $$N_f + f_w - Mg = 0$$ Force(Cylinder) on x $$T + f_f - N_w = Ma$$ There's also...

Thread 'Explain this asphalt sheen'

This problem is two parts. The first is to determine what effects are being provided by each of the elements - 1) the window panes; 2) the asphalt surface. My answer to that is The second part of the problem is exactly why you get this affect. And one more spoiler:
