Explanation

• Wavelength is the distance between two successive corresponding points of a wave, such as two crests.
• It can be measured in meters (m), centimeters (cm), and nanometers (nm).
• The SI unit of wavelength is meter (m).
• Nanometer (nm) is commonly used for very short wavelengths, especially in light.

Conversions:

• 1 m = 100 cm
• 1 cm = 10⁻² m
• 1 nm = 10⁻⁹ m

Explanation

• A step-up transformer increases the voltage.
• Output voltage > Input voltage
• It has more turns in the secondary coil than in the primary coil.
• It is used to increase voltage for long-distance power transmission.

Explanation

• A computer program that translates one program instruction at a time into machine language is called an Interpreter.
• Interpreters are commonly associated with languages such as Python, JavaScript, and BASIC.

Additional information:

• Compiler: Translates the complete program before execution.
• Assembler: Converts assembly language into machine code.
• Machine Language: Uses binary instructions understood directly by the computer.

Explanation

• Comets are small celestial bodies mainly composed of ice, dust, and rocky material.
• They travel around the Sun in highly elliptical or elongated orbits.
• Halley’s Comet, which returns approximately every 76 years.

Additional information:

• Asteroids: Mainly rocky or metallic bodies.
• Meteoroids: Small pieces of rock or metal moving through space.
