A string is waved up and down to create a wave pattern with a wavelength of 0.5 m. If the waves are generated with a frequency o

f 2 Hz, what is the speed of the wave that travels through the string to the other end?

Wave speed = (wavelength) x (frequency)

Wave speed = (0.5 m) x (2 /sec)

<em>Wave speed = 1 m/s</em>

When 1.14 g of octane (molar mass = 114 g/mol) reacts with excess oxygen in a constant volume calorimeter, the temperature of th

Answer:

Q (reaction) = -69.7 kJ

Explanation:

Octane reacts with oxygen to give carbon dioxide and water.

C₈H₁₈ + 25 O₂ ---> 16 CO₂ +18 H₂O

This reaction is exothermic in nature. Therefore, the energy is released into the atmosphere. This reaction took place in a calorimeter, there the temperature (T) increases by 10 C. The heat capacity of the calorimeter is 6.97 kJ/C

The heat (q) of the reaction is calculated as follows:

Q= -cT, where c is the heat capacity of the calorimeter and T is the increase in temperature

q = -(6.97) x (10) = -69.7kJ

<em>Since the heat capacity is given in kilo -joule per degree Celsius, therefore, the mass of octane is not required </em>

Output can not be greater than input because the conversion of energy can not be greater than 100%.

When monochromatic light shines perpendicularly on a soap film (n = 1.33) with air on each side, the second smallest nonzero fil

Anika [276]

Let us start from considering monochromatic light as an incidence on the film of a thickness t whose material has an index of refraction n determined by their respective properties.

From this point of view part of the light will be reflated and the other will be transmitted to the thin film. That additional distance traveled by the ray that was reflected from the bottom will be twice the thickness of the thin film at the point where the light strikes. Therefore, this relation of phase differences and additional distance can be expressed mathematically as

$2t + \frac{1}{2} \lambda_{film} = (m+\frac{1}{2})\lambda_{film}$

We are given the second smallest nonzero thickness at which destructive interference occurs.

This corresponds to, m = 2, therefore

$2t = 2\lambda_{film}$

$t = \lambda_{film}$

The index of refraction of soap is given, then

$\lambda_{film} = \frac{\lambda_{vacuum}}{n}$

Combining the results of all steps we get

$t = \frac{\lambda_{vacuum}}{n}$

Rearranging, we find

$\lambda_{vacuum} = tn$

$\lambda_{vacuum} = (278)(1.33)$

$\lambda_{vacuum} = 369.74nm$
