The answer is the red sidelight on a powerboat should be visible from the front and from the left (port side).

What are Sidelights?

There is various combinations of lights that must be used on a boat when it is dark, and these are:
Sidelights: These lights are called combination lights and are red and green. The red sidelight must be visible from the port side and the green light indicates the right side (the starboard).
Stern light: The stern light is seen at the back end of the vessel.
Masthead Light: The masthead light is a white light that shines forwards and on all sides of the vessel. All powered vessels must use this light.
All-Round white light: This light is the major light that is used to join the masthead light and the stern light. This single light is visible to all vessels from all directions.
Thus, as a rule for a boat rider, he should show the vision of red light and it should be visible from the front and from the left (port side).

A beam of monochromatic light with a wavelength of 400 nm in air travels into water. what is the wavelength of the light in wate

slava [35]

The refractive index of water is $n=1.33$ . This means that the speed of the light in the water is:
$v= \frac{c}{n}= \frac{3 \cdot 10^8 m/s}{1.33 }=2.26 \cdot 10^8 m/s$

The relationship between frequency f and wavelength $\lambda$ of a wave is given by:
$\lambda= \frac{v}{f}$
where v is the speed of the wave in the medium. The frequency of the light does not change when it moves from one medium to the other one, so we can compute the ratio between the wavelength of the light in water $\lambda_w$ to that in air $\lambda$ as
$\frac{\lambda_w}{\lambda}= \frac{ \frac{v}{f} }{ \frac{c}{f} } = \frac{v}{c}$
where v is the speed of light in water and c is the speed of light in air. Re-arranging this formula and by using $\lambda=400 nm$ , we find
$\lambda_w = \lambda \frac{v}{c}=(400 nm) \frac{2.26 \cdot 10^8 m/s}{3 \cdot 10^8 m/s}=301 nm$
which is the wavelength of light in water.

The molar enthalpy of fusion for water is 6.008 kj/mol. what quantity of energy is released when 253g of liquid water freezes? (

e-lub [12.9K]

During freezing, energy is released by the mass of water without change in temperature. Such energy will also be required if the same mass of water has to be melted.

Then,

Number of moles = mass/molar mass = 253/18.02 =14.04 moles

Energy released = moles*molar enthalpy of fusion = 14.04*6.008 = 84.35 kJ
