(1) The speed of light through vacuum is 3 x 10⁸ m/s.

(2) The speed of light in air at 30⁰C is 350 m/s.

(3) The speed of light in air at 0⁰C is 330 m/s.

(4) The transparent substance is glass.

(5) The color of light observed is red.

(6) The energy of a photon of red light is 2.85 x 10⁻¹⁹ J.

<h3>Speed of light</h3>

The speed of light through vacuum is 3 x 10⁸ m/s.

The speed of light in air at 30⁰C is 350 m/s.

The speed of light in air at 0⁰C is 330 m/s

<h3>Refractive index of the substance</h3>

n = speed of light in vacuum/speed of light in the substance

n = ( 3 x 10⁸ m/s) / ( 2 x 10⁸ m/s)

n = 1.5

The refractive index of glass is 1.5, thus, the transparent substance is glass.

<h3>Frequency of light</h3>

f = v/λ

f = (3 x 10⁸) / (6.8 x 10⁻⁷)

f = 4.41 x 10¹⁴ Hz

The color of light observed is red based on the frequency and wavelength.

<h3>Energy of the photon</h3>

E = hf

E = (6.626 x 10⁻³⁴)(4.3 x 10¹⁴)

E = 2.85 x 10⁻¹⁹ J

Thus, the speed of light through vacuum is 3 x 10⁸ m/s.

The speed of light in air at 30⁰C is 350 m/s.

The speed of light in air at 0⁰C is 330 m/s.

The transparent substance is glass.

The color of light observed is red.

The energy of a photon of red light is 2.85 x 10⁻¹⁹ J.

How can the IMA of a first- class lever be increased?
Dimas [21]
IMA = Ideal Mechanical Advantage

First class lever = > F1 * x2 = F2 * x1

Where F1 is the force applied to beat F2. The distance from F1 and the pivot is x1 and the distance from F2 and the pivot is x2

=> F1/F2 = x1 /x2

IMA = F1/F2 = x1/x2

Now you can see the effects of changing F1, F2, x1 and x2.

If you decrease the lengt X1 between the applied effort (F1) and the pivot,  IMA decreases.

If you increase the length X1 between the applied effort (F1) and the pivot, IMA increases.

If you decrease the applied effort (F1) and increase the distance between it and the pivot (X1) the new IMA may incrase or decrase depending on the ratio of the changes.

If you decrease the applied effort (F1) and decrease the distance between it and the pivot  (X1) IMA will decrease.

Answer: Increase the length between the applied effort and the pivot.

nikdorinn [45]

Answer:

0.6275 metres

Explanation:

v = fl

125.5 = 200 * wavelength

125.5 / 200 = wavelength = 0.6275m

A 3 kg penguin is pushed by his penguin friends who give him an initial speed vo at the top of a 30 m hill. The penguin is hopin
Strike441 [17]

Answer:

This question can be answered by using conversation of energy.

K_1 + U_1 = K_2 + U_2

\frac{1}{2}mv_{0}^2 + mgh_1 = 0 + mgh_2

\frac{1}{2}(3)v_0^2 + (3)(9.8)(30) = (3)(9.8)(45)\\\frac{1}{2}(3)v_0^2 = 441\\v_0^2 = 294\\v_0 = 17.14 m/s

Explanation:

Note that we take K_2 = 0 because we are looking for the minimum initial speed for the penguin to reach the top of the second hill. Any other speed more than this will already be enough for him.
