Answer:

f = 5.95 \times 10^{14} Hz

Explanation:

As we know that the frequency of the wave is given as

f = \frac{c}{\lambda}

here we know that

c = 3 \times 10^8 m/s

also we know that

\lambda = 5.04 \times 10^{-7} m

now we have

f = \frac{3 \times 10^8}{5.04 \times 10^{-7}}

f = 5.95 \times 10^{14} Hz

A very thin oil film (n = 1.25) floats on water (n = 1.33). What is the thinnest film that produces a strong reflection for gree
mixer [17]

Answer:

200 nm is the thinnest film that produces a strong reflection for green light with a wavelength of 500 nm

Explanation:

If two reflected waves interfere constructively ,strong reflection is produced. Two reflected waves will experience a phase change

For constructive interference

2\times n\times t=m\lambda

for thinnest film m=1

refractive index should be taken for film n=1.25

thickness of the thinnest film is

t=\frac{m\lambda}{2n} \\t=\frac{1\times 500}{2\times 1.25} \\t=200 nm

What is the magnitude of vector K ?
vovangra [49]

Answer:

Vector K = 8 m

Explanation:

The given figure shows a right angle triangle JKL. It is given that :

vector L = 10 m

vector J = 6 m

We have to find vector k. We can find it by using Pythagoras theorem. According to this theorem, the sum of squares of perpendicular and the base is equal to the square of the longest side.

L^2=K^2+J^2

K^2=L^2-J^2

K^2=(100)^2-(6)^2

K = 8 m

Hence, the magnitude of vector K is 8 m.

Hydroelectricity provides about 7 percent of the electricity generated in the united states. (a) explain how a hydroelectric pow
aivan3 [116]

a. A dam is usually built at the site of hydroelectric power. As water accumulates, its potential power for producing electric power increases. As this water moves downstream from the dam, mostly through a fall, its kinetic energy is harnessed by turbines and converted to electric energy.


b. One factor is the height of the fall of the water from the dam. The higher the height the higher the kinetic energy of the water and hence can be converted to higher electric energy. The higher the number of coils of the turbine generator being rotated by the water, the higher the conversion to electric current.


c. One is impoundment. This type is the most common and involves the building of a dam to store water and later the water is released to turn turbines. The second type is diversion. This type does not require a dam. Some water is diverted from the main river to create a pen-stock that runs a turbine.


d. The advantage of hydroelectric power is that is is a clean energy source hence does not cause global warming. Global warming can have economic consequences. The operating cost of this type of plant is low hence the costs of electricity are able to be kept low for the consumers. 2 disadvantage is that creating a dam upstream causes a change in the physical and chemical characteristics of the river or water bodies affecting ecosystems. Another is that electricity is dependent on the water regime hence dependency is tied to climate.

A physical system that is isolated from its environment is:
kompoz [17]

Closed

Explanation:

A physical system that is isolated from its environment is said to be a closed system.

In a closed system, energy can be exchange but matter cannot be exchanged.

  • A closed system sightly permits the only certain types of exchange.
  • These systems are usually used to control and limit the impact of the environment on a system.
  • Experiments can be conducted on the premises of any the interactions.

Which scenario is an application of Newtons Second Law of Motion?
svlad2 [7]
D would be the answer because The acceleration of an object as produced by a net force is directly proportional to the magnitude of the net force, in the same direction as the net force, and inversely proportional to the mass of the object.
