You are watching a wave with a frequency of 512 hz go past. how many peaks of the wave go past you each minute?

61440 peaks

Explanation:

A hertz represents one cycle for every second:

So if a wave have frequency of 2Hz for example, this means the wave does two cycles per second.

Normally the waves are represented by cosine or sine waves. These kind of waves have two peaks in each cycle, one positive and one negative. With this in mind, let's calculate how many peaks of the wave pass each minute.

A minute has 60 seconds, hence:

And we know already that every cycle has two peaks, so:

61440

Explanation:

The period of a sine wave is the length of one cycle of the wave and is characterized by having two peaks a negative and a positive (See the image).

The frequency on the waves is given in hz equivalent to one cycle per second, so 512 hz are 512 cycles per second, given that one minute is equivalent to 60 seconds we have a total of 60*512 = 30720 cycles per second, because each cycle contains two peaks the total amount of peaks in one minute is 30720 *2 =61440

-first use of geothermal energy occurred more than 10,000 years ago in north america by american paleo-indians

-the first industrial use of geothermal energy began near pisa, italy in late 18th century

-in 1904, italian scientist piero ginori conti invented the first geothermal electric power plant in which steam was used to generate the power

-with the above experiment, the first geothermal plant in usa started in 1922 with a capacity of 250 kilowatts

-however, in 1946 first ground-source geothermal heat pump installed at commonwealth building in portland, oregon

-during the 1960’s, pacific gas and electric began operation of first large scale geothermal power plant in san francisco, producing 11 megawatts

-in 1973, when oil crisis began many countries began looking for renewable energy sources and by 1980’s geothermal heat pumps (ghp) started gaining popularity in order to reduce heating and cooling costs

-as effect of climate change started showing results, governments of various countries joined hands to fight against it, for which kyoto protocol was signed in japan in 1997, laid out emission targets for rich countries and required that they transfer funds and technology to developing countries, 184 countries have ratified it
