It gives you a way to quickly and effectively represent data.

Lets say you took a poll of 1000 people. You want to see how much money these people made. If you have a random sample, you most likely have a lot in the middle (say $50,000/year) - fewer on the low and high edges. You don't want to throw that data out...Lets also say that you had 5 college students in that poll. Lets say thier income is $1200, $2500, $3200, $4300, and $8100. You don't want to have a bracket from 1-1000, 1000-2000..and so on, because you don't gain much information. So you make a bracket $10,000 and under, to capture those 5 data points. Same with the hight end...Say $75,000 and above.

Which condition is necessary for a standing wave?

A standing wave is created by the interference of two waves with the same frequency and amplitude traveling in opposite directions along the same medium. The condition necessary for a standing wave to form is that the two waves have to have the same frequency and wavelength.

WHAT IS NMR frequency?

NMR (Nuclear Magnetic Resonance) frequency is the radio frequency used to excite and detect the nuclear spins in a sample under study. It typically ranges from a few tens of megahertz to a few hundred megahertz depending on the type of nucleus being observed.

A BNC connector is necessary for connecting coaxial cable. The task can happen with a variety of electronic equipment dependent on radio-frequency -- even some equipment used in space.


What is threshold frequency?

Threshold frequency is the minimum frequency of light required to eject electrons from a metal surface in the photoelectric effect. Below this frequency, no electrons are emitted regardless of intensity. It is a characteristic property of each metal and is used to determine the work function of the metal.


Why can and rsquot you calculate the frequency of the wave in the diagram What information is missing?

The diagram provided doesn't specify the time period of the wave, which is necessary to calculate the frequency (frequency = 1 / time period). In addition, the distance between wave peaks (wavelength) is also required as the speed of the wave can be calculated using the equation speed = frequency x wavelength. Without both the time period and wavelength, the frequency cannot be determined.


What is the minimum frequency of ripple in the output?

The minimum frequency of ripple in the output typically depends on the specific application and the design of the circuit involved. In power supplies, for example, ripple frequency is often determined by the rectification method used; for full-wave rectifiers, it is double the input frequency, while for half-wave rectifiers, it matches the input frequency. To provide a precise answer, additional context regarding the circuit type or application is necessary.
