The correct answer is - hypocenter.

The place deep inside the crust, where the adjustments in the crust appear, and the earthquake occurs, is called the hypocenter, also known as the focus.

The hypocenter is the place of origion of the earthquake, and the vibrations from there move in all directions. The place that is exactly above the hypocenter on the surface of the Earth is called the epicenter. From the epicenter, the vibrations move in all directions in the form of concentric circles on the surface.

What is Human Trafficking About? Need This ASAP!
Vladimir [108]
Human Trafficking is the act of recruiting or abducting people (usually children and teens) and doing...let's just say bad things to them. Some things could involve sexual acts, forcing them into labor, and even torturing them (like removing their organs or just doing it for fun). 

People usually do this to gain money from it, which gets them a lot. In easier words, Human Trafficking is illegal and slavery.

Using Wien’s Law, estimate the wavelength at which these common materials radiate their peak brightness (show your work):
SSSSS [86.1K]

Explanation:

Wien’s Law:

\lambda _{max}\propto \frac{1}{temperature}

The law states that the wavelength at which black body emits maximum heat  is inversely proportional to the temperature of the body in Kelvins.

\lambda _{max}=\frac{2.9\times 10^{-3}}{T}

1) Walls at 300 K

\lambda _{max}=\frac{2.9\times 10^{-3} mK}{300 K}

\lambda _{max}=9.666\times 10^{-6} m

2) Ice water at 273 K :

\lambda _{max}=\frac{2.9\times 10^{-3} mK}{273 K}

\lambda _{max}=1.062\times 10^{-5} m

3) Hot water at 373 K :

\lambda _{max}=\frac{2.9\times 10^{-3} mK}{373 K}

\lambda _{max}=7.775\times 10^{-6} m

4)Skin at 310 K:

\lambda _{max}=\frac{2.9\times 10^{-3} mK}{310 K}

\lambda _{max}=9.355\times 10^{-6} m

5)An incandescent light bulb at 3000 K

\lambda _{max}=\frac{2.9\times 10^{-3} mK}{3000 K}

\lambda _{max}=9.666\times 10^{-7} m
