The medium whose light have the longest wavelength is air.

<h3>What is wavelength?</h3>

The wavelength is the distance between the adjacent crest or trough of the sinusoidal wave. The wavelength is the reciprocal of the frequency of the wave.

Wavelength λ = v/f

where v is the speed of wave in medium.

Given is the chart shows the speed at which light travels through different media.

Medium     Speed of light in m/s

Water           2.25 x 10⁸

Air                2.99 x 10⁸

Glass            1.97 x 10⁸

Diamond      1.24 x 10⁸

The speed of light is directly proportional to the wavelength. Greater the speed, greater will be the wavelength.

From the chart, air has the highest speed of light.

Thus, the medium whose light have the longest wavelength is air.

There is the more role of the moon than the sun to occur tides in the oceans,why?
Nana76 [90]

Answer:

The ocean tides on earth are caused by both the moon's gravity and the sun's gravity. ... Even though the sun is much more massive and therefore has stronger overall gravity than the moon, the moon is closer to the earth so that its gravitational gradient is stronger than that of the sun.

If one soccer ball is rolling to the right at 3 m/s and another soccer ball is rolling left with a speed of 5 m/s, how much mome
stich3 [128]

Answer:

Final momentum after a head on collision is -2kgm/

Explanation:

  One ball moves to the right and the other moves opposite  and momentum is a vector quantity so that considering the direction

Initial momenta are        P₁=2x3=6kgm/s        P₂=4x(-2)=-8kgm/s      

Final momentum is the vector sum of P(final)= 6-8= -2 kgm/s

Microwave ovens emit microwave energy with a wavelength of 12.3 cm. What is the energy of exactly one photon of this microwave r
Valentin [98]
The energy of a photon is proportional to the speed of light and inversely proportional to the wavelength. The constant of proportionality is Planck's constant, <span>6.626 * 10^-34 Js</span>

E = hc/ {wavelength} 
E = [ 6.626 * 10^-34 Js * 2.997 * 10^8 m/s ] / 0.124 m 
E = 1.60 * 10^-24 J

On a typical clear day, the atmospheric electric field points downward and has a magnitude of approximately 103 N/C. Compare the
Nina [5.8K]

Answer:

a) FE = 0.764FG

b) a = 2.30 m/s^2

Explanation:

a) To compare the gravitational and electric force over the particle you calculate the following ratio:

\frac{F_E}{F_G}=\frac{qE}{mg}              (1)

FE: electric force

FG: gravitational force

q: charge of the particle = 1.6*10^-19 C

g: gravitational acceleration = 9.8 m/s^2

E: electric field = 103N/C

m: mass of the particle = 2.2*10^-15 g = 2.2*10^-18 kg

You replace the values of all parameters in the equation (1):

\frac{F_E}{F_G}=\frac{(1.6*10^{-19}C)(103N/C)}{(2.2*10^{-18}kg)(9.8m/s^2)}\\\\\frac{F_E}{F_G}=0.764

Then, the gravitational force is 0.764 times the electric force on the particle

b)

The acceleration of the particle is obtained by using the second Newton law:

F_E-F_G=ma\\\\a=\frac{qE-mg}{m}

you replace the values of all variables:

a=\frac{(1.6*10^{-19}C)(103N/C)-(2.2*10^{-18}kg)(9.8m/s^2)}{2.2*10^{-18}kg}\\\\a=-2.30\frac{m}{s^2}

hence, the acceleration of the particle is 2.30m/s^2, the minus sign means that the particle moves downward.

Gwar [14]

Answer:

The b-b at rest will hit the ground first

Explanation:

When the first b-b is shot at angle it will first experience some horizontal force of air resistance before it experience another vertical force of resistance when going done while the second b-b only experiences the vertical force of resistance making reach the ground faster.
