Technically, an antenna only works with good safety and efficiency at one single

frequency, or over a narrow band of contiguous frequencies. If you need to operate

over a wide band of frequencies, or in several different bands, with high efficiency,

you'd nominally need several separate antennas. Since that would be a real pain,

several trustworthy, loyal, helpful, friendly, courteous, kind, obedient, cheerful, thrifty,

brave, clean, clever, competent, dedicated, and innovative engineers ... most of them

being obviously ham radio operators ... figured out how to build antennas that would

work well over a wide range of frequencies or on widely separated bands. One such

category of antennas is known as the multi-band dipoles, for the basic design that

they resemble. The 'dipole' antenna is generically one with equal lengths of radiator

extending in two opposite directions from the end of the "feeder" (transmission line),

and it is this design with which tricks may be played in order to derive many wideband

and multiband designs.

What is the operational frequency of half wave dipole antenna?

Its resonant frequency is where its length is half a wavelength, so for 100 MHz the wavelength is 3 metres and a 1.5-metre long dipole is resonant. A dipole antenna can be used for many applications within a band of 10-20% around the resonant frequency.

Does ch3cl have dipole-dipole attractions?

Yes, CH3Cl (methane) has dipole-dipole attractions. This is because the molecule has a net dipole moment resulting from the uneven distribution of electrons around the carbon and chlorine atoms. This dipole moment allows CH3Cl to exhibit dipole-dipole interactions with other polar molecules.


Is CH2O a dipole dipole?

yes it is dipole dipole as it contain one electron attracting atom chlorin which create dipole in molecule.


Which has the smallest dipole-dipole forces NO O2 HBr or CH3Cl?

O2 has the smallest dipole-dipole forces because it is nonpolar, lacking a permanent dipole moment. The other molecules listed (NO, HBr, CH3Cl) all exhibit polar bonds and have dipole moments, allowing for stronger dipole-dipole interactions.
