Explanation:

As it is known that volume of an irregular object cannot be measured because we cannot measure the volume of a curve.

As a result, if we immerse an irregular solid object into a beaker or container filled with water then the volume of water displaced by the object will be equal to the volume of object itself.

Hence, we get to know the volume of irregular solid object by doing so that is why, water displacement is an effective way of measuring the volume of an irregular solid.

Water displamement is effective because there is no way to get an exact and accurate measurement of an irregular solid because you can't measure curved line. Water displamement gives you a proper, exact, and accurate answer.

The density of an object is

uysha [10]

Answer:

Density is a measure of mass per unit of volume. Density is a measure of mass per volume. The average density of an object equals its total mass divided by its total volume.

I hope it helps.

An argon ion laser emits light of wavelength of 488 nm. (a) Calculate the frequency of the light. (b) Suppose a pulse of light f

Alex787 [66]

Answer:

A) 6.15×10^14 per sec

B)2.5 sec

Explanation:

Wavelength of light = 488 nm

speed of light = 3×10^8 m/s

therefore, frequency of light $\nu=\frac{c}{\lambda}$

⇒ $\nu=\frac{3\times10^8}{488\times10^{-9}}$

⇒ν= 6.15×10^14 per sec

b) distance between moon and earth = 3.8×10^5 km.

= 3.8×10^8 m

light travel from earth moon and back to earth

therefore, distance traveled= 2× 3.8×10^8 m = 7.6×10^8 m

therefore time= distance/speed

⇒ time= $\frac{7.6\times10^8}{3\times10^8}$

= 2.5 sec

So, for a round trip time required is 2.5 sec.

1. If a solution of sodium chloride has 22.3 g of

lina2011 [118]

We are given:

Mass of NaCl in the given solution = 22.3 grams

Volume of the given solution = 2 L

Number of Moles of NaCl:

We know that the number of moles = Given mass / Molar mass

Number of moles = 22.3 / 58.44 = 0.382 moles

Molarity of NaCl in the Given solution:

We know that Molarity of a solution = Moles of Solute / Volume of Solution(in L)

Molarity = 0.382 / 2

Molarity = 0.191 M
