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}

vladimir1956 [14]

Answer:

When light enters from air to water i.e. it is moving from rarer to denser medium, it changes its original path as there is a change of speed of light and deflects itself towards the normal. This is known as the refraction of light and this is why a pencil in a cup of water looks as if it is broken and larger.

Atoms of elements at the top of a group on the periodic table are smaller than the atoms of elements at the bottom of the group.
serg [7]
Well formation of metallic bond depends on free electrons.smaal sized atoms hold their electrons more firmly as compared to large size atoms ,this z due to distance of outer shell electrons by nucleus..in this way no of free electrons affect strength of metallic bond..smaal sized atoms release less free electrons..

7 The weight of a space shuttle is about 20.0 million newtons. What is the space shuttle's weight when it is traveling through o
kogti [31]

Well first of all, the Space Shuttle program ended a few years ago, and none have been launched since then.

The Shuttle never went to places that were properly referred to as "outer space". When they flew, the Space Shuttles went to low Earth orbit, where the acceleration of gravity is roughly 85% of its value on the Earth's surface.

So a Shuttle that weighed 20 million Newtons on the launch pad weighed roughly  17 million Newtons while in orbit.

Would a measured force of (46.5 0.8 N  ) be in agreement with a theoretically calculated force of (48.4 0.6 N  ) ? Show your w
OverLord2011 [107]

Answer:

A measured force of (46.5 0.8 N  ) would not be in agreement with a theoretically calculated force of (48.4 0.6 N  )

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

  Measured force is  F_M  =  [46.5 \pm 0.8 \  N ]

   Calculated force is  F_c =  [48.4 \pm 0.6 \  N ]

Generally the measured force in interval form is

     46.5 - 0.8  < F_M  <  46.5 + 0.8

=>  45.7   < F_M  < 47.3

Generally the calculated  force in interval form is

     48.4 - 0.6  < F_c  <  48.4 + 0.6

=>  47.8   < F_M

Generally looking both interval we see that they do not intersect at any point Hence  

A measured force of (46.5 0.8 N  ) would not be in agreement with a theoretically calculated force of (48.4 0.6 N  )
