Which of the following is unchanged at the end of the CNO cycle?

Musya8 [376]

Answer:

The correct option is: A. carbon-12

Explanation:

The CNO cycle, the abbreviation for the carbon-nitrogen-oxygen cycle, is a catalytic cycle by which the stars produce helium from elemental hydrogen, via a series of nuclear fusion reactions.

This cycle involves the fusion of four protons with carbon ( $_{6}^{12}\textrm{C}$ ), nitrogen isotope ( $_{7}^{13}\textrm{N}$ ), and oxygen isotope ( $_{8}^{15}\textrm{O}$ ), to give an alpha particle and two electron neutrinos and positrons.

The reaction involves the regeneration of carbon ( $_{6}^{12}\textrm{C}$ ) nucleus in the last step.

$_{6}^{12}\textrm{C}$ → $_{7}^{13}\textrm{N}$ → $_{6}^{13}\textrm{C}$ → $_{7}^{14}\textrm{N}$ → $_{8}^{15}\textrm{O}$ → $_{7}^{15}\textrm{N}$ → $_{6}^{12}\textrm{C}$

What is the frequency of green light that has a wavelength of 5.14 x 10^-7m?

nata0808 [166]

Answer:

Frecuency = 5,83x10⁻⁷ Hz

Explanation:

The equation that connects wavelenght and frequency is given by:

λ = c/ν

λ=wavelenght (expressed in lenght´s units)

c= speed of light (3x10⁸ m/sec)

ν=frequency (expressed in units of time⁻¹ or Herzt)

In our case, λ=5,14x10⁻⁷ m , so replacing in our previous formula, this gives us the final result of ν (frequency for green light) of 5,83x10¹⁴ Hz (or Herzt)
