Tutorial Ch24 Solution

The document contains two physics problems and their solutions. Problem 7 calculates the wavelength of an electromagnetic wave transmitted by a CB radio using the given frequency and speed of light. The wavelength is calculated to be 11.118 m. Problem 17 calculates the distance between a spaceship and Earth based on the time it takes sound waves to travel between two astronauts in the spaceship being equal to the time it takes electromagnetic waves to travel from the spaceship to Earth. The distance between the spaceship and Earth is calculated to be 1.50 x 343 / 2.9979 x 108 = 1.50 x 108 m.

Chapter 24

7. A truck driver is broadcasting at a frequency of 26.965 MHz with a CB (citizen’s


band) radio. Determine the wavelength of the electromagnetic wave being used. Use
2.9979 × 108 m/s as the speed of light, and give your answer to five significant figures.

7. REASONING AND SOLUTION Using Equation 16.1, we obtain

c 2.9979 108 m/s


   11.118 m
f 26.965 106 Hz

17. Two astronauts are 1.50 m apart in their spaceship. One speaks to the other. The
conversation is transmitted to earth via electromagnetic waves. The time it takes for
sound waves to travel at 343 m/s through the air between the astronauts equals the
time it takes for the electromagnetic waves to travel to the earth. How far away from
the earth is the spaceship?

17. REASONING We proceed by first finding the time t for sound waves to travel
between the astronauts. Since this is the same time it takes for the electromagnetic waves
to travel to earth, the distance between earth and the spaceship is d earth-ship= ct
SOLUTION The time it takes for sound waves to travel at 343 m/s through the air
between the astronauts is

Therefore, the distance between the earth and the spaceship is
