MCQ
A micro-wave and an ultrasonic sound wave have the same wavelength. Their frequencies are in the ratio (approximately)
  • $10^6:1$
  • B
    $10^4:1$
  • C
    $10^2:1$
  • D
    $10:1$

Answer

Correct option: A.
$10^6:1$
a
(a)$n = \frac{v}{\lambda } \propto v$==> $\frac{{{n_{MW}}}}{{{n_{US}}}} \approx \frac{{3 \times {{10}^8}}}{{3 \times {{10}^2}}} \approx {10^6}:1$
