When a wave is too steep to support itself, the wave front collapses therefore creating a break.

This is defined as the propagation of disturbance from one place to another in an organized manner.

In situations where the wave is too steep to support itself there is a break in the wavefront which advances up the shoreline.

Answer:

521 nm

Explanation:

Given the values and units we are given, I'm assuming 5.76*10^14 Hz is frequency.

The formula to use here is λ * υ = c, where λ is wavelength, υ is frequency, and c is the speed of light.

λ = $\frac{3*10^8\frac{m}{s} }{5.76*10^{14}Hz} = {5.20833*10^{-7} m}\approx{521 *10^{-9}m}={521 nm}$

Why is water always used in energy generation (water -> steam -> turbine) instead of a liquid with a lower specific heat c

frez [133]

There are multiple reasons for this. First of all, water is available in almost every place on the Earth. It doesn't pollute the air, doesn't cause health use and is easily handle.

Other factor is the fact that water has a really high specific heat. This means that water, and more specifically steam, can aborb and transport more energy. A lower heat capacity would imply the need to boil more of the liquid to obtain the same amount of energy. This combine with the fact that water expands at a large rate when boiling, combine with everything mentioned previously, and you get a liquid with all the characteristics that a efficient turbine requires to work.
