(a) 4.74 \cdot 10^{14}Hz

The frequency of a wave is given by:

f=\frac{v}{\lambda}

where

v is the wave's speed

\lambda is the wavelength

For the red laser light in this problem, we have

v=c=3\cdot 10^8 m/s (speed of light)

\lambda=632.8 nm=632.8\cdot 10^{-9} m

Substituting,

f=\frac{3\cdot 10^8 m/s}{632.8 \cdot 10^{-9} m}=4.74 \cdot 10^{14}Hz

(b) 427.6 nm

The wavelength of the wave in the glass is given by

\lambda=\frac{\lambda_0}{n}

where

\lambda_0 = 632.8\cdot 10^{-9} m is the original wavelength of the wave in air

n = 1.48 is the refractive index of glass

Substituting into the formula,

\lambda=\frac{632.8\cdot 10^{-9}m}{1.48}=427.6\cdot 10^{-9}m=427.6 nm

(c) 2.02\cdot 10^8 m/s

The speed of the wave in the glass is given by

v=\frac{c}{n}

where

c = 3\cdot 10^8 m/s is the original speed of the wave in air

n = 1.48 is the refractive index of glass

Substituting into the formula,

v=\frac{3\cdot 10^8 m/s}{1.48}=2.02\cdot 10^8 m/s

stellarik [79]
<span> 1.the atom has 7 neutrons and 8 protons....

because the positively charged particles are the protons ...and 8 is also the atomic number ...so number of neutrons can be calculated by subtracting </span>atomic number from the mass number...which gives us the neutrons 7 ...

Hope it helps !!!

Describe how humans’ actions and natural processes have modified coastal regions in Louisiana and other locations
il63 [147K]
Coastal erosion has depleted a large portion of South Louisiana's wetlands along the coastline in swamps and marshes mainly due to storm surges. But other factors also contributed to this erosion. Canals and waterways dug through the marshes and swamps for the oil industry is one factor. Man-made levees erected to provide protection to residents living adjacent to the river is another major cause. Large scale logging especially in the early 1900's also damaged the wetlands.

What is the Mirror equation? What does it look like?
kipiarov [429]

Answer:

1/f = 1/D' + 1/D

The magnification equation relates the ratio of the image distance and object distance to the ratio of the image height (h^i) and object height (h^o). The magnification equation is stated as follows:

M= H^i/H^o = D^i/D^o
