Answer:


Step-by-step explanation:

Given : Lightwaves travel from the air into a lens made of glass. Their velocity decreases as they enter the glass.

To Find : How does this affect the frequency and wavelength of the lightwaves

Solution:

Change in velocity does not affect the frequency of light .

So, frequency will remain same

Wavelength is the "sacrificial quantity" that adjusts to adapt to change in speed.  

If it were frequency that changed, it would mean big problems for causality and conservation of energy.

Formula: c = v λ

Where c is the velocity

v = frequency

λ = wavelength

Thus the wavelength of light waves decrease as velocity decrease as they are directly proportional.

Solve equation 1/4=x^-1/2
Alex

Answer:

A. {16}

Step-by-step explanation:

1/4 = x^-1/2

We have the exponent rule a^-1 = 1/a^1

Applying the rule, we get

1/4 = 1/x^1/2

x^1/2 = √x

1/4 = 1/√x

Now let's cross multiplying, we get

√x  = 4

Taking square on both sides, we get

x = 16

The answer: A. {16}

Hope this will helpful.

Thank you.

Can I get some help please?

Answer: A

Step-by-step explanation:

A linear function is described as:

https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=f(x)%20%3D%20ax%20%2B%20b

When the value of x = 0, then you're left with

https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=f(x)%20%3D%20b

In this question, the speed of sound is the linear function while the temperature is the independent variable. When T = 0, you're left with

https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=S(0)%20%3D%20331.4

Which means the speed of sound in air when temperature is 0°C is 331.4m/s.

notka56 [123]

Answer:

  (-4, -2)

Step-by-step explanation:

  A = (-1, 2)

Add (-3, -4) to that and you get ...

  A' = (-1-3, 2-4) = (-4, -2) . . . . matches the last choice

__

The translation function has the effect of moving the point left 3 and down 4. You can count grid squares on the graph to see that A' ends up at (-4, -2).
