The wavelength of a light wave is 700 nm in air; this light appears red. If this wave enters a pool of water, its wavelength bec

omes λair/n = 530 nm. If you were swimming underwater, the light would still appear red. Given this, what property of a wave determines its color?

Answer

given,

wavelength of light in air = 700 nm

Wavelength of light in water = 530 nm

We know that speed of light changes when it moves from one medium to another.

And the frequency of the wavelength does not changes if the medium changes.

we also know that,

                                    v = ν λ

From the above equation we can say that if frequency is constant so, with the change in  velocity changes wavelength will also change.

Hence, wavelength is the property of the wave which determines color.

NEWTONS SECOND LAW LAB REPORT
hram777 [196]

Answer:

Newton's second law states that the acceleration of an object is directly related to the net force and inversely related to its mass. Acceleration of an object depends on two things, force and mass.

Explanation:

As a solid element melts, the atoms become __________ and they have __________ attraction for one another. more separated, more
galina1969 [7]
The complete statement is 

As a solid element melts, the atoms become more separated and they have less attraction for one another. 

Let me explain to you how this happens. In solid phase. Its molecules are arranged in a very compact manner that is why it takes a definite shape and volume. When it is heated, the kinetic energy of the molecules increases. This is characterized by more frequent collisions. The rise in temperature causes the molecules to move rapidly by vibrating. When it reaches an amount of energy that causes the solid to change phase, this is called the latent energy. The molecules break their form and move farther away from each other until it resembles that of a liquid melting. At this point, the molecules would have lesser attraction because of the distance between them.

I need help with these questions.
strojnjashka [21]

I'll go ahead and answer the ones here without an answer. For reference, the half-life formula is <em>final amount = original amount(1/2)^(time/half-life)</em>

<em />

4) 12.5g

x = 100(1/2)^(63/21)

5) 50g

3.125 = x(1/2)^(0.1/0.025)

6) 500g

x = 4000(1/2)^(525/175)

7) 0.24g

0.06 = x(1/2)^(11430/5730)

8) 125g

x = 1000(1/2)^(17100/5700)

Hope this helps! :)

6. If a bicyclist, with initial velocity of zero, steadily gained speed until reaching a final velocity of 39m/s, how far would
Bezzdna [24]

Answer:

  175 m

Explanation:

The average velocity for constant acceleration is the average of the beginning and ending velocities. That is (0+39)/2=19.5 m/s. If the bicyclist rides for 9 seconds, the distance traveled is ...

  (9 s)(19.5 m/s) = 175.5 m

She would travel 175.5 meters in that time.
