Answer: speed of light in solid = 1.88 * 10^8 m/s

Frequency is constant

Explanation: The relationship between the velocity of light wave and wavelength is given by the formulae below

V = fλ

During refraction, the frequency of light is constant, thus we have that

V = kλ which implies that velocity is proportional to wavelength.

Hence, we have that

v1/ λ1 = v2/ λ2

Where v1 = velocity of light in air = 3 * 10^8 m/s

v2 = velocity of sound in solid

λ1 = wavelength of light in air = 670nm

λ2 = wavelength of light in solid = 420nm

By making v2 subject of formulae, we have that

v2 = v1 * λ2/ λ1

v2 = 3 * 10^8 * 420nm/ 670nm

v2 = 3 * 10^8 * 0.6268

v2 = 1.88 * 10 ^8 m/s

b)

During refraction the frequency of light wave is constant this is because light consist of photons which has energy. it energy needs to be constant and for energy (E=hf) to be constant, frequency would be constant too.

Brums [2.3K]

Answer: The gas being collected is probably Oxygen

Explanation:

Plants produce oxygen through a process known as photosynthesis by utilizing carbon monoxide, a by-product produced by humans during the process of breathing. Humans also breathe in the oxygen ( by-product of photosynthesis) produced by the plants. Therefore, humans and plants live in a symbiotic relationship.

Photosynthesis is the process plants use to synthesize food from carbon dioxide and water. Sunlight is used as a energy source. Photosynthesis releases oxygen as a byproduct.

At low temperatures, between 0 and 10 degrees Celsius – the enzymes that carry out photosynthesis do not work efficiently, and this decreases the photosynthetic rate.

At medium temperature above 10 degrees Celsius to below 40 degrees Celsius (e.g 27 degrees Celsius), the photosynthetic enzymes work at their optimum levels, so photosynthesis proceeds.

At a temperature above 40 degrees Celsius, the enzymes that carry out photosynthesis lose their shape and functionality, and the photosynthetic rate declines rapidly.

Equation for photosynthesis reaction:

6CO2 + 6H20 + (energy) = C6H12O6 + 6O2

A 1.50-m cylinder of radius 1.10 cm is made of a complicated mixture of materials. Its resistivity depends on the distance x fro
MArishka [77]

Answer:

Resistance = 3.35*10^{-4} Ω

Explanation:

Since resistance R = ρ\frac{L}{A}

whereas \rho(x) = a + bx^2

resistivity is given for two ends. At the left end resistivity is 2.25* 10^{-8} whereas x at the left end will be 0 as distance is zero. Thus

2.25*10^{-8} = a + b(0)^2\\ 2.25*10^{-8} = a + 0 \\2.25*10^{-8} = a

At the right end x will be equal to the length of the rod, so x = 1.50\\8.50*10^{-8} = (2.25*10^{-8}) + ( b* (1.50)^2 )\\8.50*10^{-8} - (2.25*10^{-8}) = b*2.25\\\frac{6.25*10^{-8}}{2.25}  = b\\b = 2.77 *10^{-8}

Thus resistance will be R = ρ\frac{L}{A}

where A = π r^2

so,

R = \frac{8.50*10^{-8} * 1.50}{3.14*(1.10*10^{-2})^2} \\R=3.35 * 10 ^{-4}

A roadway for stunt drivers is designed for racecars moving at a speed of 40 m/s. A curved section of the roadway is a circular
Fynjy0 [20]

Answer:

Bank angle = 35.34o

Explanation:

Since the road is frictionless,

Tan (bank angle) = V^2/r*g

Where V = speed of the racing car in m/s, r = radius of the arc in metres and g = acceleration due to gravity in m/s^2

Tan ( bank angle) = 40^2/(230*9.81)

Tan (bank angle) = 0.7091

Bank angle = tan inverse (0.7091)

Bank angle = 35.34o

padilas [110]

Answer:

 a)    λ = 189.43 10⁻⁹ m  b)    λ = 269.19 10⁻⁹ m

Explanation:

The diffraction network is described by the expression

      d sin θ= m λ

Where m corresponds to the diffraction order

Let's use trigonometry to find the breast

        tan θ = y / L

The diffraction spectrum is measured at very small angles, therefore

      tan θ = sin θ / cos θ = sin θ

We replace

      d y / L = m λ

Let's place in the first order m = 1

Let's look for the separation of the lines (d)

     d = λ  L / y

     d = 501 10⁻⁹ 9.95 10⁻² / 15 10⁻²

     d = 332.33 10⁻⁹ m

Now we can look for the wavelength of the other line

     λ  = d y / L

    λ  = 332.33 10⁻⁹ 8.55 10⁻²/15 10⁻²

    λ = 189.43 10⁻⁹ m

Part B

The compound wavelength B

      λ  = 332.33 10⁻⁹ 12.15 10⁻² / 15 10⁻²

      λ = 269.19 10⁻⁹ m
