Find the period of a wave given that it has a speed of 200m/s and a wavelength of 2m

The equation for finding the period of the wave is the reciprocal of the frequency 

hence th eperiod T =1/f

substitute this into the wave speed equation 

v=f x lambda

solve for...

A photon has an energy of 1.0 MeV. Calculate the frequency associated with this photon energy. State an appropriate unit in your answer.

The energy contained in a photon is given by the formula E = hf, where h is the Planck constant and f is the frequency of the photon. Since h = 4.110−15 eVs, f = E/h = 1.0103<...

What is the angular velocity of a car wheel which diameter is d = 15 mm if the car velocity is of 120 km/h?

First, we change the units of the datas:

v=120 km/h = 120 km/h x 1 h / 3600 s x 1000 m /1 km = 33.333 m / s

d=15 mm = 15x10-3 m

Using the formula of the angular velocity: w...

What is the second law of thermodynamics?

Formally speaking, the definition required in an exam would be that the second law of thermodynamics states that the entropy of an isolated system never decreases. The second law was conceived with the co...
