The answer is 5.88 · 10⁻⁷<span> m.</span>

To calculate this we will use the light equation:

v = λ · f,
where:
v - the speed of light (units: m/s)
<span>λ - the wavelength of the ray (units: m)
</span>f - the frequency of the ray (units: Hz = 1/s <span>since Hz means cycles per second (f=1/T))
</span>
It is given:
f = 5.10 · 10¹⁴ Hz = 5.10 · 10¹⁴<span> 1/s
v = 2.998 </span>· 10⁸<span> m/s
</span><span>λ = ?
</span>
If v = λ · f, then λ = v ÷ f:
λ = 2.998 · 10⁸ m/s ÷ 5.10 · 10¹⁴ 1/s
   = 0.588 · 10⁸⁻¹⁴ · m
   = 0.588 · 10⁻⁶ m
   = 5.88 · 10⁻⁷ m

Density of iron in CGS unit is 7.8 g/cm3. Its density is SI is
kumpel [21]

Answer:

7800kg/m³

Explanation:

Density of iron in CGS unit is 7.8 g/cm3. Its density is SI is

Given the density of iron = 7.8 g/cm3.

The SI units must be in kg/m³

7.8g = 7.8/1000 kg

7.8g = 0.0078kg

1cm³ = 0.000001m³

7.8g/cm³

= 0.0078/0.000001 kg/m³

= 7800kg/m³

Hence the density in SI unit is 7800kg/m³

The histogram below shows the number of downloads of a song over time.
Allisa [31]

Given data:

  • It is a graphical display where the data is grouped in to ranges
  • A diagram consists rectangles, whose area is proportional to frequency of a variable and whose width is equal to the class interval.
  • It is an accurate representation of the distribution of numerical data.

<em>From Figure:</em>  

        Each box in the graph (small rectangle box) is assumed to be one download. So, in the graph the time between 8 p.m to 9 p.m, the number of downloads are 8.75 approximately (because the last box is incomplete, therefore 8 complete boxes and 9th is more than half).

<em>So, We conclude that the total number of downloads are approximately 9 in the time span of 8 p.m. to 9 p.m.</em>
