For any temperature scale the ratio of difference of temperature will be same

so we can write

\frac{T^ox - 12^ox}{129^ox - 12^ox} = \frac{T^of - 32^of}{212^of - 32^of}

now given that in both scales the temperature must be same

\frac{T^ox - 12^ox}{117^ox} = \frac{T^of - 32^of}{180^of}

T - 12 = 0.65 (T - 32)

0.35T = -8.8

T = -25.14 ^ox

<em>so at above temperature both scales will have same temperature</em>

Visible light falls into wavelength ranges of 400-700 nm, for which 1 m = 1 × 10 9 nm . The energy and wavelength of light are r
Paul [167]

Answer:

E = 3.54 x 10⁻¹⁹ J

Explanation:

The energy of the photon can be given in terms of its wavelength by the use of the following formula:

E = \frac{hc}{\lambda}

where,

E = energy = ?

h = Plank's Constant = 6.626 x 10⁻³⁴ Js

c = speed of light = 2.998 x 10⁸ m/s

λ =  wavelength of light = 560.6 nm = 5.606 x 10⁻⁷ m

Therefore,

E = \frac{(6.626\ x\ 10^{-34}\ Js)(3\ x\ 10^8\ m/s)}{5.606\ x\ 10^{-7}\ m}\\

<u>E = 3.54 x 10⁻¹⁹ J</u>

What is the difference between resilience and modulus of resilience
pshichka [43]
<span>Resilience is the amount of energy that can be put into a volume of material and still be stored elastically. ie When the energy goes away, the material regains its undeformed shape. The Mod of R is the amount that can be stored by a unit volume of that material. The Mod of R is heavily related to Youngs Modulus.</span>
