In which medium would light have the longest wavelength?

1 answer:

4 0

Color implies visible light, so to answer your question: red light has the longest wavelength (~620 - 740 nm). However, there also exists light with even longer wavelengths that is not visible to the human eye, from infrared light to radio waves (with wavelengths that are meters long!)

A hydrate of CoCl2 with a mass of 6.00 g is heated strongly. After cooling, the mass of the anhydrate is 3.27 g.

ivann1987 [24]

A hydrate is a substance that contains water or its constituent elements. When this substance is heated, water is evaporated leaving an unhydrate. From this sample, the amount of water present would be equal to 2.73 g. Hope this answers the question. Have a nice day.

On a cool, rainy day, the barometric pressure is 698 mmHg. Calculate the barometric pressure in centimeters of water (cmH2O). De

lesantik [10]

Answer:

Barometric pressure is 942.3 cm of column of water.

Explanation:

We can measure barometric pressure by measuring the height h of a column of fluid (this column of fluid exerts the same pressure as the column of air of which we are measuring pressure) using the following formula:

$P = \rho*g*h\\$

Where ρ is the density of the fluid used and g the acceleration of gravity.

Knowing that both the column of mercury (to match units, we know that 698 mmHg are the same as 69.8 cmHg) and the column of water are representing the same pressure, we can match expressions and find h for the column of water:

$\rho_{Hg} *g*h_{Hg} =\rho_{Water} *g*h_{Water}\\ \\h_{Water}=\frac{rho_{Hg} *g*h_{Hg}}{\rho_{Water} *g} = \frac{13.5g/mL *9.8m/s^{2} *69.8cm}{1g/mL *9.8m/s^{2}}=942.3 cmH_{2}O$

C. Another radioisotope of americium exists which has an atomic mass of 242.

ollegr [7]

Answer:

1 g

Explanation:

The half-life of Am-242 (16 h) is the time it takes for half of it to disappear.

We can make a table of the mass left after each half-life.

$\begin{array}{cccc}\textbf{No. of} & & \textbf{Percent} & \textbf{Mass}\\\textbf{Half-lives} & \textbf{Time/h} & \textbf{Remaining} & \textbf{Remaining/g}\\0& 0 & 100 & 8\\1 & 16 &50 & 4\\2 & 32 & 25 & 2\\3 & 48 & 12.5 & 1\\4 & 64 & 6.25 & 0.5\\\end{array}$

The mass remaining after 48 h is 1 g.
