Answer:

If enough evidence accumulates to support a hypothesis, it moves to the next step (known as a theory) in the scientific method and becomes accepted as a valid explanation of a phenomenon.

<u>Answer:</u>

Hypothesis is usually referred as an assumption or an observation made without much proof to support the statement. Hence scientists and experimental physicists uses hypothesis and perform experiments and observations to support the theory.

The hypothesis will get transformed into a theory only when there is enough evidence to support the cause and the science behind the set of events. It is dependent upon a number of scientific tests an hence it is not possible to define a time period. It may varies from years to forever (or never).

A mass of 0.1 kg of helium fills a 0.2 m3 rigid tank at 350 kPa. The vessel is heated until the pressure is 700 kPa. Calculate t

QveST [7]

Explanation:

(a) First, we will calculate the number of moles as follows.

No. of moles = $\frac{\text{mass}}{\text{molar mass}}$

Molar mass of helium is 4 g/mol and mass is given as 0.1 kg or 100 g (as 1 kg = 1000 g).

Putting the given values into the above formula as follows.

No. of moles = $\frac{\text{mass}}{\text{molar mass}}$

= $\frac{\text{100 g}}{4 g/mol}$

= 25 mol

According to the ideal gas equation,

PV = nRT

or, $(P_{2} - P_{1})V = nR (T_{2} - T_{1})$

$(6.90 atm - 3.45 atm) \times 200 L = 25 \times 0.0821 L atm/mol K \Delta T$

$\Delta T$ = 336.17 K

Hence, temperature change will be 336.17 K.

(b) The total amount of heat required for this process will be calculated as follows.

q = $mC \Delta T$

= $100 g \times 5.193 J/g K \times 336.17 K$

= 174573.081 J/K

or, = 174.57 kJ/K (as 1 kJ = 1000 J)

Therefore, the amount of total heat required is 174.57 kJ/K.

What is the energy of an electromagnetic wave that has a frequency of

sukhopar [10]

Answer:

$Energy, \; E = 2.6504 * 10^{-34} \; Joules$

Explanation:

Given the following data;

Frequency = 4.0 x 10⁹ Hz

Planck's constant, h = 6.626 x 10-34 J·s.

To find the energy of the electromagnetic wave;

Mathematically, the energy of an electromagnetic wave is given by the formula;

E = hf

Where;

E is the energy possessed by a wave.

h represents Planck's constant.

f is the frequency of a wave.

Substituting the values into the formula, we have;

$Energy, \; E = 4.0 x 10^{9} * 6.626 x 10^{-34}$

$Energy, \; E = 2.6504 * 10^{-34} \; Joules$
