Answer:

Wavelength of this beam of light: \rm 4.39\times 10^{-7}\; m.

Explanation:

The speed of light in vacuum is approximately \rm 2.998\times 10^{8}\;m \cdot s^{-1}.

Light behaves like a wave. The wavelength of a wave is equal to the distance that it travels (in the given medium) in each period of oscillation.

On the other hand, the frequency of a wave is the number of periods in unit time. 1\rm \; Hz means one oscillation per second. The frequency of this particular wave is \rm 6.83\times 10^{14}\; Hz. In other words, there are 6.83\times 10^{14} oscillations in each second.

The period of oscillation will be equal to

\displaystyle t = \frac{1}{f} = \frac{1}{\rm 6.83\times 10^{14}\; s^{-1}}.

In that period of time, a beam of light in vacuum would have traveled  

\displaystyle \rm 2.998\times 10^{8}\; m\cdot s^{-1} \times \frac{1}{\rm 6.83\times 10^{14}\; s^{-1}} = 4.39\times 10^{-7}\; m.

In other words, if this beam of light of frequency \rm 6.83\times 10^{14}\; Hz is in vacuum, its wavelength will be equal to \rm 4.39\times 10^{-7}\; m.

In the adjoining figure, the circles with the + sign represent protons and the empty circles represent neutrons. Determine which
Natali [406]

Answer: option C. 2 and 3.

Explanation:

1) Isotopes are atoms of a same element with different number of neutrons. That means that the isotopes of a same element have the same number of protons, since the number of protons is what identify an element.

2) For example, all the atoms of oxygen have 8 protons. But isotope oxygen-16 has 8 neutrons, while oxygen-18 has 10 neutrons.

3) In the figure there are 3 different atoms:

i) atom # 1 has 5 protons and 7 neutrons

ii) atom # 2 has 6 protons and 7 neutrons

iii) atom # 3 has 6 protons and 8 neutrons.

4) Hence the atoms with the same number of protons and different number of neutrons are the #2 and the # 3. So, they are the isotopes of the same element.

A sixth grade teacher takes students on a field trip to the beach. One student finds several pebbles that have a rounded shape a
Fittoniya [83]

Answer:

C: The shape of the pebbles is a result of weathering and deposition

Explanation:

For the several pebbles to have a rounded shape and smooth to the touch, it will undergo weathering and deposition. This is because weathering involves breaking down of rocks and creating new sediments. This weathering could be either chemical weathering or physical weathering where Chemical weathering is the decomposition of rocks which are caused by chemical reactions and which result in formation of new compound while physical weathering is the breakdown of rocks into smaller pieces. On the other hand, deposition occurs when the agents of erosion such as wind or water deposit sediments from one spot to another which in turn changes the shape of the land.

Thus, the shape of the pebbles are as a result weathering of the parent rocks and from deposition.

Eddi Din [679]

Answer:

At equal concentration of HBCG and BCG^-, the colour is green. This colour first appears at pH = 3.8

Explanation:

HBCG is an indicator that is prepared by dissolving the solid in ethanol.

Since

Ka=[BCG−][H3O+][HBCG]When [BCG-] = [HBCG], then Ka = [H3O+].

If pH = 3.8

Ka= [H3O+] = -antilog pH = -antilog (3.8)

Ka= 1.58 ×10^-4
