1) By looking at the table of the visible spectrum, we see that blue light has a wavelength in the range [450-490 nm], while red light has wavelength in the range [620-750 nm]. Therefore, red light has longer wavelength than blue light.

2) The frequency f of an electromagnetic wave is related to its wavelength \lambda by the formula
f= \frac{c}{\lambda}
where c is the speed of light. We see that the frequency is inversely proportional to the wavelength, so the shorter the wavelength, the greater the frequency. In this case, blue light has shorter wavelength than red light, so blue light has greater frequency than red light.

3) The energy of the photons of an electromagnetic wave is given by
E=hf
where h is the Planck constant and f is the frequency. We see that the energy is directly proportional to the frequency, so the greater the frequency, the greater the energy. In this problem, blue light has greater frequency than red light, so blue light has also greater energy than red light.

Jupiter's semimajor axis is 7.78×1011 m. The mass of the Sun is 1.99×1030 kg. (a) What is the period of Jupiter's orbit in secon
dedylja [7]

Explanation:

It is given that,

Semi major axis of the Jupiter, a=7.78\times 10^{11}\ m

Mass of the sun, M=1.99\times 10^{30}\ kg

(a) Let T is the period of Jupiter's orbit. It is given by :

T^2\propto a^3

T^2=\dfrac{4\pi^2}{GM}a^3

T^2=\dfrac{4\pi^2}{6.67\times 10^{-11}\times 1.99\times 10^{30}}\times (7.78\times 10^{11})^3

T=3.74\times 10^8\ s

(b) We know that,

1\ year=3.154\times 10^7\ s

or

1\ s=3.171\times 10^{-8}\ year

3.74\times 10^8\ s={3.171\times 10^{-8}}\times {3.74\times 10^8}

T = 11.859 earth years

Hence, this is the required solution.

PLS HELP ME OUT!!
MaRussiya [10]
In order to solve this problem, we must first find out the value of each line on the number line. However, we can make this problem more simple by ignoring every interval except for the ones between 0 and 6. There are three total intervals in between 0 and 6 (including 6 and excluding 0). Therefore, we can do 6/2, and get an interval value of 2. This means that each line adds a value of 2. Since the car is only one line past zero, we only have to add one value of 2. Since 0 + 2 = 2, our final answer is C. 2.

Hope this helps!

The similarity between thermal energy, heat and temperature?
Vitek1552 [10]
Heat energy and thermal energy are the same because heat energy is thermal energy. Also thermal energy and temperature are the same because temperature is measuring heat in degrees Celsius or degrees Fahrenheit. Hope this helps!
