If main power on submarines operates at 600 Hz and a submarine is 380 feet long, can circuit theory be used to analyze the power distribution system?
Added by Thi Bich Thuy T.
Step 1
First, we need to find the wavelength of the power signal. We know that the frequency is 600 Hz. The speed of light in a vacuum is approximately 3 * 10^8 meters per second (m/s). However, the speed of light in a medium (like a submarine) is slower. Let's assume Show more…

The United States Navy has long proposed the construction of extremely low-frequency (EIF) communication systems. Such waves could penetrate the oceans to reach distant submarines. Calculate the length of a quarterwavelength antenna for a transmitter generating ELF waves of frequency 75.0 Hz. How practical is this?
