A large fraction of the ultraviolet (UV) radiation coming from the sun is absorbed by the atmosphere. The main UV absorber in ou

r atmosphere is ozone, O3. In particular, ozone absorbs radiation with frequencies around 9.38×1014 Hz . What is the wavelength λ of the radiation absorbed by ozone?

Answer:

$\lambda=3.20*10^{-7}m$

Explanation:

The wavelength is inversely proportional to the frequency. The wavelength is equal to the speed of the wave, divided by the frequency. In the case of electromagnetic waves like ultraviolet radiation, the speed of propagation is the speed of light.

$\lambda=\frac{c}{f}\\\lambda=\frac{3*10^8\frac{m}{s}}{9.38*10^{14}Hz}\\\lambda=3.20*10^{-7}m$

Answer : The wavelength of the radiation absorbed by ozone is, $3.20\times 10^{-7}m$

Explanation : Given,

Frequency = $9.38\times 10^{14}Hz=9.38\times 10^{14}s^{-1}$

Formula used :

$\nu=\frac{c}{\lambda}$

where,

$\nu$ = frequency

$\lambda$ = wavelength

c = speed of light = $3\times 10^8m/s$

Now put all the given values in the above formula, we get:

$9.38\times 10^{14}s^{-1}=\frac{3\times 10^8m/s}{\lambda}$

$\lambda=3.20\times 10^{-7}m$

Therefore, the wavelength of the radiation absorbed by ozone is, $3.20\times 10^{-7}m$

Which statement would be a valid argument in favor of using nuclear power? There are few negative impacts from mining the fuel.

fgiga [73]

Okay so, lets use the process of elimination here.

<span>A)There are few negative impacts from mining the fuel.
B)Reactors are safe from natural disasters.
C)There are little to no waste products from fission.
D)Nuclear power does not contribute greenhouse gases.

First off, we know B cannot be correct, seeing as how reactors are fragile and are damaged easily by Japan's earthquakes. So we can eliminate B from the choices. We then can eliminate C, since fission creates high levels of nuclear waste, so that leaves us with just A, and D. We can then eliminate A since uranium is radioactive, there is always a chance for negative effects.

So, the correct answer is D</span>

An air-track cart with mass m1=0.28kg and initial speed v0=0.75m/s collides with and sticks to a second cart that is at rest ini

arsen [322]

Kinetic energy is calculated through the equation,

KE = 0.5mv²

At initial conditions,

m₁: KE = 0.5(0.28 kg)(0.75 m/s)² = 0.07875 J

m₂ : KE = 0.5(0.45 kg)(0 m/s)² = 0 J

Due to the momentum balance,

m₁v₁ + m₂v₂ = (m₁ + m₂)(V)

Substituting the known values,

(0.29 kg)(0.75 m/s) + (0.43 kg)(0 m/s) = (0.28 kg + 0.43 kg)(V)

V = 0.2977 m/s

The kinetic energy is,
KE = (0.5)(0.28 kg + 0.43 kg)(0.2977 m/s)²
KE = 0.03146 J

The difference between the kinetic energies is 0.0473 J.

An object is placed 18 cm in front of spherical mirror.if the image is formed at 4cm to the right of the mirror, calculate it's

ivolga24 [154]

1) Focal length

We can find the focal length of the mirror by using the mirror equation:
$\frac{1}{f}= \frac{1}{d_o}+ \frac{1}{d_i}$ (1)
where
f is the focal length
$d_o$ is the distance of the object from the mirror
$d_i$ is the distance of the image from the mirror

In this case, $d_o = 18 cm$ , while $d_i=-4 cm$ (the distance of the image should be taken as negative, because the image is to the right (behind) of the mirror, so it is virtual). If we use these data inside (1), we find the focal length of the mirror:
$\frac{1}{f}= \frac{1}{18 cm}- \frac{1}{4 cm}=- \frac{7}{36 cm}$
from which we find
$f=- \frac{36}{7} cm=-5.1 cm$

2) The mirror is convex: in fact, for the sign convention, a concave mirror has positive focal length while a convex mirror has negative focal length. In this case, the focal length is negative, so the mirror is convex.

3) The image is virtual, because it is behind the mirror and in fact we have taken its distance from the mirror as negative.

4) The radius of curvature of a mirror is twice its focal length, so for the mirror in our problem the radius of curvature is:
$r=2f=2 \cdot 5.1 cm=10.2 cm$

Answer:

he maximum frequency occurs when the denominator is minimum

f’= f₀ $\frac{343}{343 + v_s}$

Explanation:

This is a doppler effect exercise, where the sound source is moving

f = fo $\frac{v}{v-v)s}$ when the source moves towards the observer

f ’=f_o $\frac{v}{v+v_{sy}}$ Alexandrian source of the observer

the maximum frequency occurs when the denominator is minimum, for both it is the point of maximum approach of the two objects

f’= f₀ $\frac{343}{343 + v_s}$
