Answer:

According to wavelengths in descending order: C, B, D, E and A

According to frequencies in descending order: A, E, D, B and C

According to speeds in vacuum: A =B =C =D =E

Explanation:

in the EM spectrum, radio waves have the longest wavelength while gamma rays have the shortest wavelength.

All EM waves travel with the same speed of $3*10^8m/s$ in a vacuum.

What can you say about the speed of light in diamond?

Inessa05 [86]

So n=c/v, n= index, c=speed of light and v= speed of light in diamond. 2.42=c/v so v=c/2.42, c≈3x108 m/sec so v=1.24x108 m/sec.
Hope this helps.

Answer:

a. 299,792,458 m/s

Explanation:

Since the speed of light in a vacuum is invariant and has the value of 299,792,458 m/s, we would measure this value of 299,792,458 m/s for the speed of light from the star as it arrives on Earth.

During a blackout, you are trapped in a tall building. you want to call rescuers on your cell phone, but you can't remember whic

Gennadij [26K]

Let the height where we are trapped is H

now to find the time to reach the key at the bottom is given as

$y = v_i t + \frac{1}{2}at^2$

now we have

$H = \frac{1}{2}gt^2$

$t = \sqrt{\frac{2H}{g}}$

now if the speed of sound is considered to be 340 m/s then time taken by the sound to reach at the top is given as

$t = \frac{H}{340}$

now the total time is given as

$\sqrt{\frac{2H}{g}} + \frac{H}{340} = 3.27$

now by solving above equation we have

H = 48 m

now height of one floor is 3 m

so our position must be

$N = \frac{48}{3} = 16 th \:floor$

A gas takes up a volume of 17.0 L, has a pressure of 2.30 atm, and a temperature of 299 K. If the temperature is raised to 350.0

Maurinko [17]

Answer:

new volume = 30.513L

Explanation:

V1 =17L , P1= 2.3atm , T1=299K , T2=350K , P2 =1.5atm, V2=?

To find the new volume of the gas we will use the combined gas law.

The combined gas law combines Boyle's law, Charles law and Gay-Lussac's law. Its states that the ratio of the product of pressure and volume to temperature is equal to a constant. its expressed mathematically below.

$\frac{V1P1}{T1} = \frac{V2P2}{T2}$

$V2 =\frac{V1P1T2}{P2T1}$

$V2 =\frac{17*2.3*350}{1.5*299}$

$v2 = \frac{13685}{448.5}$

V2 =30.513L
