C.) They are held together loosely enough to flow, but not so loose that they expand

Answer: Option (C) is the correct answer.

Explanation:

Molecules in a liquid have less force of attraction as compared to solids. But liquid molecules have more force of attraction as compared to gases.

Since molecules of a gas are held together by weak Vander waal forces, therefore, they expand to fill the container whereas molecules in a liquid are not expanded in a container like gases because of more force of attraction within molecules of liquids as compared to gases.

Hence, a liquid can take the shape of container in which it is kept.

Thus, we can conclude that out of the given options, a liquid change to take the shape of its container but NOT expand to fill the container itself because the particles of a liquid are held together loosely enough to flow, but not so loose that they expand.

X-rays had a frequency of about 3x10^18 determine it's wavelength (in nm) and energy per photon
Serggg [28]

Answer:

E = 19.89×10⁻¹⁶ J

λ = 1×10⁻¹ nm

Explanation:

Given data:

Frequency of xray = 3×10¹⁸ Hz

Wavelength of xray = ?

Energy of xray = ?

Solution:

speed of wave = wavelength × frequency

speed = 3×10⁸ m/s

3×10⁸ m/s  = λ ×3×10¹⁸ s⁻¹

λ = 3×10⁸ m/s  / 3×10¹⁸ s⁻¹

λ = 1×10⁻¹⁰m

m to nm:

λ = 1×10⁻¹⁰m×10⁹

λ = 1×10⁻¹ nm

Energy of x-ray:

E = h.f

h = plancks constant = 6.63×10⁻³⁴ Js

by putting values,

E = 6.63×10⁻³⁴ Js ×3×10¹⁸ s⁻ ¹

E = 19.89×10⁻¹⁶ J
