The temperature at which all molecular motion stops is
1 answer:
Answer:
Zero Kelvin
Explanation:
The average kinetic energy of the particles in a gas is related to the absolute temperature of the gas by (for an ideal monoatomic gas):
where
k is the Boltzmann constant
T is the absolute temperature
The average kinetic energy is the energy possessed by the particles due to their motion; we see that this energy becomes zero when T = 0, which means when the substance reaches a temperature of zero Kelvin. Therefore, this means that at this temperature all the particles stop moving.

Answer:
Explanation:
When an electromagnetic wave passes through the interface between two mediums, it undergoes refraction, which means that it bents and its speed and its wavelength change.
In particular, the wavelength of an electromagnetic wave in a certain medium is related to the index of refraction of the medium by:
where
is the wavelength in a vacuum (air is a good approximation of vacuum)
n is the refractive index of the medium
In this problem:
is the original wavelength of the wave
n = 1.47 is the index of refraction of corn oil
Therefore, the wavelength of the electromagnetic wave in corn oil is:
