How can describe electromagnetic waves with mechanical waves?

<span>Mechanical waves are mostly longitudinal waves. It means the constituents of the naterial through which the wave is moving are oscillating in the same direction as the wave itself.

In an electromagnetic wave the motion of the electric and magnetic fields is transverse to the direction of propogation of the wave. So the E, B and k vectors are perpendicular to each other. Also unlike a mechanical wave, an electromagnetic wave does not require a medium to travel. It can travel in completely empty space.

The matter wave or de Broglie wave comes from the wave particle duality of a quantum mechanical object such as an electron or an atom etc. This wave can also travel in empty space. Due to the strange nature of quantum mechanics, a quantum object manifests itself as a particle or a wave depending solely on the type of measurement or observation. So for example if one lets a stream of single electrons to fall upon 2 closely spaced slits then each electron would behave as a wave and lead to interference fringes on the screen behind the slits.</span>

Answer:

2.74 M

Explanation:

Given data:

Mass of sodium chloride = 80.0 g

Volume of water = 500.0 mL

Molarity of solution = ?

Solution:

Molarity is used to describe the concentration of solution. It tells how many moles are dissolve in per litter of solution.

Formula:

Molarity = number of moles of solute / L of solution

Now we will convert the mL into L.

500.0 mL× 1 L /1000 mL =  0.5 L

In next step we will calculate the number of moles of sodium chloride.

Number of moles = mass/molar mass

Number of moles = 80.0 g/ 58.4 g/mol

Number of moles = 1.37 mol

Molarity:

M =  1.37 mol/ 0.5 L

M =  2.74 M

The ph of body fluids must remain fairly constant for the body to maintain homeostasis.
andrew11 [14]

Answer:

The answer is True

Explanation:

The Ph of bady fluids have different ranges but it should be nearly constant to maintain the health of the human, The PH of the human blood is from 7.35 to 7.45 and the other blood fluids have different ranges . The PH shouldn't drop below 6.9 because it is so dangerous for human health and result coma. if there is high value of PH this indicates high numbers of OH- and low value of PH  this indicates high numbers of H+

each organ has a certain PH value to do its function very well ,there is an organ needs acidic environment to work well and other organ needs an alkaline environment to do its work.

Corn plants may be tall (TT or Tt) or short (tt). The breeding of two parent corn plants results in offspring that are all tall.
zubka84 [21]

Answer:

0%

Explanation:

  • The probability that both of the parents are homozygous recessive is zero.
  • In our case, The gene for tallness is dominant over the gene for dwarfism
  • Therefore; TT is homozygous dominant while tt is homozygous recessive and Tt is heterozygous.
  • Heterozygous genotype (Tt) will exhibit a tall phenotype.
  • When two parents are crossed and all the offsprings are tall then the possible genotype of the parents is either;
  1. Homozygous dominant for both parents or  

       TT x TT

    2. One parent is homozygous dominant and the other is homozygous recessive.

        TT x Tt

  • Therefore, the probability of having both parents as homozygous recessive when all the offspring are tall is Zero.

Express the frequency in inverse seconds. n=4--&gt;n=3. Can you please tell me what formulas to use, because I have like 6 more
bulgar [2K]

Answer:

  • 1.60×10¹⁴ s⁻¹

Explanation:

When an electron jumps from one energy level to a lower energy level some energy is released in the form of a photon.

The difference in energy between the two levels is the energy of the photon and that energy is related to the frequency of the photon by the Einstein - Planck equation:

  • E = hν

Where,

  • E = energy of the photon,
  • h = 6.626×10⁻³⁴ J.s, Planck constant, and
  • ν = frequency of the photon.

So, to find the frequency you must first find the energy.

The transition energy can be calculated using the formula:

  • Eₙ = - E₀ ( 1/ n²)

Where E₀ = 13.6 eV ( 1 eV = 1.602×10⁻¹⁹ Joules) and n = 1,2,3,...

So, the transition energy between n = 4 and n = 3 will be:

  • ΔE = - E₀ [ 1/4² - 1/3²] = - 13.6 eV [1/16 - 1/9] = 0.6611. . .eV

  • ΔE = 1.602×10⁻¹⁹ Joules/eV  × 0.6611... eV = 1.0591 ×10⁻¹⁹ Joules

Now you can use the Einstein - Planck equation:

  • E = hν
  • ν = E / h
  • ν = 1.0591 ×10⁻¹⁹ J / 6.626×10⁻³⁴ J.s  = 1.60×10¹⁴ s⁻¹ (rounded to 3 significant figures).
