The relationship between the frequency (f) of an electromagnetic wave, the speed of the wave (which is the speed of light, c) and its wavelength \lambda is given by
f= \frac{c}{\lambda}

Since the wavelength of the radiation in the problem is \lambda= 0.80 nm = 0.80 \cdot 10^{-9} m, by substituting numbers in the formula we  can get the frequency:
f= \frac{3 \cdot 10^8 m/s}{0.80 \cdot 10^{-9} m} =3.75 \cdot 10^{17} s^{-1}

An airplane flying at an altitude of 6 miles passes directly over a radar antenna. When the airplane is 10 miles away (s = 10),
Novosadov [1.4K]

Answer:

Explanation:

Given

altitude of the Plane h=6\ miles

When Airplane is s=10\ miles away

Distance is changing at the rate of \frac{\mathrm{d} s}{\mathrm{d} t}=290\ mph

From diagram we can write as

h^2+x^2=s^2

differentiate above equation w.r.t time

2h\frac{\mathrm{d} h}{\mathrm{d} t}+2x\frac{\mathrm{d} x}{\mathrm{d} t}=2s\frac{\mathrm{d} s}{\mathrm{d} t}

as altitude is not changing therefore \frac{\mathrm{d} h}{\mathrm{d} t}=0

0+x\frac{\mathrm{d} x}{\mathrm{d} t}=s\frac{\mathrm{d} s}{\mathrm{d} t}

at s=10\ miles\ and\ h=6\ miles

substitute the value we get x=\sqrt{10^2-6^2}=8\ miles

8\times \frac{\mathrm{d} x}{\mathrm{d} t}=10\times 290

\frac{\mathrm{d} x}{\mathrm{d} t}=362.5\ mph

A ___ is a large ball of gas that generates its own energy. This energy is created by the fusion of ___ atoms to make ___.
Murljashka [212]

Answer:

Star, hydrogen and energy

Explanation:

A star is a large ball of gas that generates its own energy by fusing hydrogen atoms to make helium. It is held together by its own gravity. This process emits a tremendous amount of energy, and some of the energy is in the form of light.

The energy released from the collapse of the gas into a protostar causes the center of the protostar to become extremely hot. When the core is hot enough, nuclear fusion commences. Fusion is the process where two hydrogen atoms combine to form a helium atom, releasing energy.
