What happens to wavelengths as waves approach shore?
they get shorter
Why does the build with a shorter wire give more brighter than the longer wire?
Because the shorter wire gives less resistance than the longer one and more electricity per inch is distributed to the shorter wire.
What happens to the power when the time is shorter?
the liquid in it evaporates slowly
What happens to the amplitude of the wave if the energy increases?
what happens to the amplitude of a wave when the energy increases
What happens to the energy carried by electromagnetic waves as the wavelength gets shorter?
energy
When you push down on a string to make it shorter what happens to the wavelength?
The wavelength gets shorter.
What happens to wavelengths as waves approach shore?
they get shorter
Does long wire have a lower or higher resistance than short wire?
A long piece of wire will have more resistance in it than a shorter one of the same material.
Why does the build with a shorter wire give more brighter than the longer wire?
Because the shorter wire gives less resistance than the longer one and more electricity per inch is distributed to the shorter wire.
What happens to the shorter side of the isosceles triangle?
Nothing happens; it remains the shortest side forever!
When a wave legth get shorter what happens to the freqency?
Gets higher
What happens to the power when the time is shorter?
the liquid in it evaporates slowly
What happens if the Earth spun faster?
The days would be shorter.
What happens to thewavelenght if you increase the frequency of a wave?
Gets shorter.
What happens to leg bones when you get older?
Legs get shorter and .brittle
What happens to the electric current when the wire is made smaller?
If wire delivering a certain amount of current is made narrower, the resistance of the wire will increase. This will limit current, and the wire will warm up some. If the wire is made shorter, resistance will decrease. The electrical codes have well published limits on the amount of current different types of wire can carry.
Why does a light BURN out?
Because the tungsten filament is evaporating. As the filament becomes thinner, resistance and temperature become higher, evaporation speeds up. Eventually the filament becomes so thin that it melts. A 100 watt incandescent light bulb radiates 98 watts of heat and 2 watts of light. In summer, it takes 50 watts of air conditioning to get rid of the 98 watts of heat. A 20 watt compact fluorescent produces the same 2 watts of light while consuming 85% less electricity, and absence of heat makes it last ten times longer.
