The correct answer to your question and how to solve it is
 
The relation between wavelength (λ)and the frequency of electromagnetic oscillation (f) is described by the following expression: λ=c/f, where c–is the speed of light in vacuum = 3*10^8 m/s
Derive f from above: f = c/λ.How to Calculate: λ=890nm = 890*10^-9m = 8.9*10^-7m
f =3*10^8m/s Divided by 8.9*10^-7m = 0.34*10^15 s-1=3.4*10^14 s-1
So your Answer is: The frequency of radiation of wavelength 890 nm is 3.4*10^14s-1

posledela

Answer:

C. Y

Explanation:

From Newton's second law of motion, we know that:

       Force = mass x acceleration

So;

      acceleration  = \frac{Force }{mass}  

 Therefore, to have the highest acceleration at a constant force, the mass must be low. Acceleration is inversely proportional to mass.

 

Y has the least mass and it will have the highest acceleration

Lana71 [14]
In a cathode ray tube, the number of electrons that reach the fluorescent screen is controlled by the grid. The correct option among all the options given in the question is option "B".When current is supplied to the heater, it causes the cathode to emit electrons. The electrons pass through opening of the grid before reaching the anode. By controlling the number of electrons passing through the grid, the number of electrons reaching the anode can also be controlled.<span>

faltersainse [42]

They discovered a vaccine to reduce illnesses, specifically Polio and Influenza. The work of Salk and Sabin has almost eradicated what was once a deadly disesase ( polio) . For example, there were 350,000 deaths related to poliovirus  across the world in 1988 and they reduced to 22 in 2017. Also, their work has saved millions of lives from polio induced paralysis

Contrast the atmosphere with the biosphere
4vir4ik [10]

The biosphere contains all the planet's living things. This sphere includes all of the microorganisms, plants, and animals of Earth. Within the biosphere, living things form ecological communities based on the physical surroundings of an area. These communities are referred to as biomes. Deserts, grasslands, and tropical rainforests are three of the many types of biomes that exist within the biosphere.

The atmosphere contains all the air in Earth's system. It extends from less than 1 m below the planet's surface to more than 10,000 km above the planet's surface. The upper portion of the atmosphere protects the organisms of the biosphere from the sun's ultraviolet radiation. It also absorbs and emits heat. When air temperature in the lower portion of this sphere changes, weather occurs. As air in the lower atmosphere is heated or cooled, it moves around the planet. The result can be as simple as a breeze or as complex as a tornado.
