- Please help with answering this question.arrow_forwardCommunicationarrow_forwardThe magnetic field of a wave propagating through a certain nonmagnetic material in the negative z direction has an amplitude of 45mA/m and a frequency of 10° Hz. If the wave is polarized on the positive x direction and the phase velocity of the wave is 10°m/s. Assume the initial phase is 30°. Find the wave number. Select one: O a. The wave number is: 67 O b. The wave number is: 2T O c. The wave number is: 2.5 O d. The wave number is: 7.6arrow_forward
- Suppose a wave whose expression is given as y(t) = Asin (2nFt), where y is the vertical displacement of the wave and t is time in seconds. The wave completes one cycle in 20 milliseconds. Find the amplitude of the wave if the vertical displacement of the wave at time t = 8 ms is 5.

- Two traveling sinusoidal waves are described by the wave functions Y, = 4.75 sin [a(3.75x – 1230t)] y, = 4.75 sin [¤(3.75x – 1230t – 0.250)] where x, y,, and y, are in meters and t is in seconds. (a) What is the amplitude of the resultant wave function y, + y,? 9.4 Your response is within 10% of the correct value. This may be due to roundoff error, or you could have a mistake in your calculation. Carry out all intermediate results to at least four-digit accuracy to minimize roundoff error. marrow_forwardTime taken for an alternating quantity to complete one cycle of the waveform is called frequency. Select one: True Falsearrow_forward1. A light wave from a star has a frequency of 6.67×10¹⁴ Hz and a wavelength of 4.50×10-⁷ m . The star is 4.00×10¹⁶ m away from Earth. Calculate the time(years) taken by the light of the star to reach Earth.arrow_forward
