Setler [38]3 years ago
7 0

Answer:

The crust is the first layer of the earth. It is split up into two parts the continental crust, and the oceanic crust. The oceanic crust takes up 71% of the earths crust, and the other 29% of the crust is continental. The continental is made up of igneous rocks, and the oceanic crust is made up of sedimentary and basalt rocks. The continental crust is older than the oceanic crust, some of the rocks are 3.9 billion years old. The density average of the oceanic crust is 3g/cm. The average density of the continental earth is 2.7g/cm. The temperature of the crust is around 200-400 degrees Celsius. The crust is about 60 km thick under a continent and 5 km thick under the ocean. The crust is constantly moving.  The crust doesn't even make up 1% of the earth!  The crust is the layer were tectonic plates can be found.

When light shines through atomic hydrogen gas, it is seen that the gas absorbs light readily at a wavelength of 91.63 nm. What i
Artist 52 [7]

Answer:

D) 21

Explanation:

When gas absorbs light , electron at lower level jumps to higher level .

and the difference of energy of orbital is equal to energy of radiation absorbed.

Here energy absorbed is equivalent to wavelength of 91.63 nm

In terms of its energy in eV , its energy content is eual to

1243.5 / 91.63 = 13.57 eV. This represents the difference the energy of orbit .

Electron is lying in lowest or first level ie n = 1.

Energy of first level

= - 13.6 / 1² = - 13.6 eV.

Energy of n th level = - 13.6 / n². Let in this level electron has been excited

Difference of energy

= 13.6 - 13.6 / n² = 13.57 ( energy of absorbed radiation)

13.6 / n² = 13.6 - 13.57 = .03

n² = 13.6 / .03 = 453

n = 21 ( approx )

How does the cell membrane work to protect the cell?
LenKa [72]
It forms a protective and adaptive barrier around a cell and this keeps various bacterial and viral intruders out. They also help in keeping cell systems inside the cell. The shell absorbs viruses and bacteria for nutrients when they do not have a certain strand to get inside the cell or trick it otherwise. Hope this helped!
