3 0

The three main layers are the core, the mantle, and the crust. The core is divided into two parts, the liquid outer core, and the solid inner core. Together it is 3450 km thick. The mantle is 2100 km thick, and the crust is 35-70 km thick. Hope I helped!

What is the frequency of an X-ray with wavelength 0.13 nm ? Assume that the wave travels in free space. Express your answer to t

dem82 [27]

Answer:

Frequency, $f=2.30\times 10^{18}\ Hz$

Explanation:

Given that,

The wavelength of the x-rays, $\lambda=0.13\ nm=0.13\times 10^{-9}\ m$

We need to find the frequency of an x-ray. All electromagnetic wave travel with a speed of light. It is given by the formula as :

$c=f\lambda$

f is the frequency

$f=\dfrac{c}{\lambda}\\\\f=\dfrac{3\times 10^8}{0.13\times 10^{-9}}\\\\f=2.30\times 10^{18}\ Hz$

So, the frequency of an x-ray is $2.30\times 10^{18}\ Hz$ . Hence, this is the required solution.

To estimate the distance in kilometers of a flash of lightning, count the number of seconds between seeing the flash and hearing

Triss [41]

Answer:

Divide by 3

Explanation:

In order to estimate the distance traveled by a lightening flash in kilometers, we follow these simple steps:

Make a count of the number of seconds in between the period a flash occur and the thunder accompanied by the lightening flash is heard.
Dive the total number of seconds by 3 to get the distance traveled by the flash. This is because in order to cover 1 km, it roughly takes 3 seconds.
