The frequency of the 5 waves with a length of 4m hit the shore every 2 seconds is 2.5 Hz.

<h3>What is frequency?</h3>

This is the number of cycles completed by a wave in one second. The s.i

unit of frequency is Hert (Hz).

From the question, to calculate the frequency of 5 waves with length of 4 m that hit the shores every 2 seconds, we use the formula below.

Formula:

F = n/t........... Equation 1

Where:

n = Number of wave
F = Frequency
t = time

From the question,

Given:

n = 5 waves
t = 2 seconds

Substitute these values into equation 1

F = 5/2
F = 2.5 Hz.

Hence, The frequency of the wave is 2.5 Hz.

The central star of a planetary nebula emits ultraviolet light with wavelength 104nm. This light passes through a diffraction gr

Gala2k [10]

Answer: 31.33 degrees

Explanation:

The diffraction angles $\theta_{n}$ when we have a slit divided into $n$ parts are obtained by the following equation:

$dsin\theta_{n}=n\lambda$ (1)

Where:

$d$ is the width of the slit

$\lambda$ is the wavelength of the light

$n$ is an integer different from zero.

Now, the first-order diffraction angle is given when $n=1$ , hence equation (1) becomes:

$dsin\theta_{1}=\lambda$ (2)

Now we have to find the value of $\theta_{1}$ :

$sin\theta_{1}=\frac{\lambda}{d}$

$\theta_{1}=arcsin(\frac{\lambda}{d})$ (3)

We know:

$\lambda=104nm=104(10)^{-9}m$

In addition we are told the diffraction grating has 5000 slits per mm, this means:

$d=\frac{1mm}{5000}=\frac{1(10)^{-3}m}{5000}$

Substituting the known values in (3):

$\theta_{1}=arcsin(\frac{104(10)^{-9}m}{\frac{1(10)^{-3}m}{5000}})$

$\theta_{1}=arcsin(0.52)$

<u>Finally:</u>

$\theta_{1}=31.33\º$ >>>This is the first-order diffraction angle

compare the theories that scientists proposed about the source of the sun's energy with the process of nuclear fusion in the sun

ANTONII [103]

The sun's source of energy is know as nuclear fusion (means to fuse) this process has a small nuclei atoms that join together to form a large nucleus. The result of this process is released energy. The fusion of hydrogen into helium in the sun makes a large amount of energy and this is known as the sun's energy source.
The theories that scientist proposed about the source of the sun's energy was that the sun burned fuel to generate its energy and that gravity was causing the sun to shrink slowly and have its energy released. Also both of these theories were disproved.

Someone help please by providing work and answers please :)

There are two ways to solve this. The longer way is to use those equations to calculate numbers for total distance.

The easier way is to find the area under the graph. That's right, AREA UNDER VELOCITY-TIME graph is the TOTAL DISTANCE travelled!

it's a shortcut.

Let's split up the area into a triangle and rectangle:

Triangle = 0.5(4-0)(10-0) = 20 m
Rectangle = (6-4)(10-0) = 20 m

Total distance = 40 m!
