Answer:
10 m/s
Explanation:
Given:
Amplitude of atomic vibrations (λ) = 10⁻⁹ cm = 10⁻⁹ × 10⁻² m = 10⁻¹¹ m [1 cm = 10⁻² m]
Frequency of the vibrations (f) = 10¹² Hz
In order to find the atom's maximum speed, we need to make use of the formula that relates speed, frequency and wavelength of the vibration.
Therefore, the formula for maximum speed is given as:

Now, plug in the values given and solve for speed 'v'. This gives,

Therefore, the atom's maximum speed due to thermal energy provided is 10 m/s.

The process you're fishing for is "polarization", but that's a
misleading description.
Polarization doesn't do anything to change the light waves.
It simply filters out (absorbs, as with a polarizing filter) the
light waves that aren't vibrating in the desired plane, and
allows only those that are to pass.
The intensity of a light beam is always reduced after
polarizing it, because much (most) of the original light
has been removed.
A laser light source may be thought of as an exception,
since everything coming out of the laser is polarized.
Answer:
cal
Explanation:
= mass of ice = 100 g = 0.1 kg
= specific heat of ice = 0.5 cal/(kg°C)
= specific heat of water = 1 cal/(kg°C)
= Latent heat of fusion of ice = 80 J/g
= initial temperature of ice = - 20 °C
= final temperature of ice = 50 °C
Q = Heat gained
Heat gained is given as


cal
