The wavelength of a radio wave in a vacuum is 295 meters. Calculate its wavelength in water? (nwater = 1.33)

The wavelength of the  radio wave in water is 222nm

The relationship between the refractive index  wavelengths in a vacuum and in water is given by:

n = λ1/λ2

So,

let λ1 be the wavelength of light in a vacuum

λ2 be the wavelength of light in water.

nwater = 1.33

Plugging in values, we have

n = λ1/λ2

1.33 =295 m /λ2

λ2 = 295 m/1.33

 = 221.80nm

 ≈222nm

Therefore the wavelength of radio wave in water is 222mn.

air exerts forces on falling objects near earth’s surface.

explanation:

the term 'free falls' refer to object that are falling towards the earth, in a situation in which gravity is the only force acting on the object.

for an object in free fall, the acceleration is constant (g, the gravitational acceleration), and so the velocity of the object constantly increases.

for objects near earth's surface, there is always another force acting on the object: the resistance due to the air. this force is opposed to the direction of fall of the object, and it is proportional to the velocity of the object, so as the object falls down, this force increases up to a point when it balances the force of gravity, and the object continues its motion at constant velocity (called terminal velocity). since in this case gravity is not the only force acting on the object, we are not in a situation of free fall.
