Answer:

This question is incomplete without the options but the options are provided below

(a) the two spectra peak at the same wavelength

(b) the spectra cannot be compared because they come from different materials

(d) the lead spectrum peak is at a longer wavelength than the iron spectrum peak

The correct option is c

Explanation:

This question on quantum physics seek to test our knowledge of Wien's displacement law which states that when different temperatures (in kelvin) of a black body radiator increases, they will peak at different wavelengths which are inversely proportional to the temperature. Hence, an increase in temperature of a black-body object will peak at a shorter wavelength than the other black-body object with a lesser temperature; since the lead was heated to 400 K, it's spectrum will peak at a shorter wavelength than that of iron which was heated to 350 K.

Hence, the correct option is c

A wave traveling in the positive x-direction with a frequency of 50.0 Hz is shown in the figure below. Find the following values

Klio2033 [76]

Answer:

Explanation:

a. The amplitude is the measure of the height of the wave from the midline to the top of the wave or the midline to the bottom of the wave (called crests). The midline then divides the whole height in half. Thus, the amplitude of this wave is 9.0 cm.

b. Wavelength is measured from the highest point of one wave to the highest point of the next wave (or from the lowest point of one wave to the lowest point of the next wave, since they are the same). The wavelength of this wave then is 20.0 cm. or $\lambda=20.0cm$

c. The period, or T, of a wave is found in the equation

$f=\frac{1}{T}$ were f is the frequency of the wave. We were given the frequency, so we plug that in and solve for T:

$50.0=\frac{1}{T}$ so

$T=\frac{1}{50.0}$ and

T = .0200 seconds to the correct number of sig fig's (50.0 has 3 sig fig's in it)

d. The speed of the wave is found in the equation

$f=\frac{v}{\lambda}$ and since we already have the frequency and we solved for the wavelength already, filling in:

$50.0=\frac{v}{20.0}$ and

v = 50.0(20.0) so

v = 1.00 × 10³ m/s

And there you go!

What are the strengths and weaknesses of the four methods of waste management?

Nitella [24]

Answer & Explanation: Waste management are all activities and actions required to manage waste from its inception to its final disposal. There are several methods of managing waste with its strengths and weaknesses. The strengths include;

* It creates employment

* It keeps the environment clean

* The practice is highly lucrative

* It saves the earth and conserves energy

The weaknesses of the methods of waste management includes;

* The sites are often dangerous

* The process is mostly

* There is a need for global buy-in

* The resultant product had a short life
