The longest wavelength of radiation used to break carbon-carbon bonds is 344 nm.

<u>Explanation:</u>

The longest wavelength of radiation can also be stated as the minimum radiation frequency required to cut carbon-carbon bond should be equal to the threshold energy of the carbon-carbon bonds.

The threshold energy will be equal to the binding energy of the carbon-carbon bonds. As it is known that carbon-carbon bonds exhibit a binding energy of 348 kJ/mole, the threshold energy to break it, is determined as followed.

First, we have to convert the energy from kJ/mol to J, i.e., energy for the carbon-carbon molecules,

\text { Energy } = \frac{348 \mathrm{KJ} / \mathrm{mol}}{6.023 \times 10^{23} \text { photons }} \times 1 \text { mole } \times 1000 = 57.77 \times 10^{-20} = 5.78 \times 10^{-19} J

As,

         E=h v=\frac{h c}{\lambda}

So,

\lambda=\frac{h c}{E}=\frac{6.626 \times 10^{-34} \times 3 * 10^{8}}{5.78 \times 10^{-19}}=3.44 \times 10^{-7}

Thus, \lambda=344 \mathrm{nm} is the longest wavelength of radiation used to break carbon-carbon bonds.

soldier1979 [14.2K]

Scientists measure the time between the arrival of an earthquake's __P____ and ___S____ waves to help determine the distance between the recording seismograph and the earthquake epicenter.

Explanation:

P- (compressional) and S- (shear) waves produced in earthquakes travel at different speeds. P waves are faster than S waves and hence will be detected first by a seismograph after an earthquake. The further away a seismograph is from the epicenter of an earthquake,  the longer the time difference between the two (2) waves will be.

Using several, at least 3, seismographs located at different geoghraphical locations and detecting earthquakes, geologists can extrapolate the epicenter of an earthquake using the time differences in arrivals of the two waves in each of the seismographs, using the mathematics of triangulation.

When driving at night, only use your high-beam headlights___
zzz [600]

Answer:

B

Explanation:

While answer C may sound correct, Answer B is makes more sense. We know you cant use High-beam lights when u cant see ongoing traffic because it could affect the other driver coming across from you. Its good to use it when legal and safe, but in that term I still don't believe there's no reason for HIGH-beamed. That's this leaves B, when you are on u lighted streets.
