Answer:

Wavelength = 489.52 nm

Explanation:

Given that the wavelength of the light = 633 nm

The time taken by the light in unknown liquid = 1.38 ns

Also,

1 ns = 10⁻⁹ s

So, t = 1.38 × 10⁻⁹ s

Also,

Distance = 32.0 cm = 0.32 m ( 1 cm = 0.01 m)

<u>So, speed of the light in the liquid = Distance / Time = 0.32 / 1.38 × 10⁻⁹ m/s = 2.32 × 10⁸  m/s</u>

Frequency of the light does not change when light travels from one medium to another. So,

\frac {V_{air}}{\lambda_{air}}=\frac {V_{liquid}}{\lambda_{liquid}}

{V_{air}}=3\times 10^8\ m/s

{\lambda_{air}}=633\ nm

{V_{liquid}}=2.32\times 10^8\ m/s

{\lambda_{liquid}}=?\ nm

So,

\frac {3\times 10^8\ m/s}{633\ nm}=\frac {2.32\times 10^8\ m/s}{\lambda_{liquid}}

<u>Wavelength = 489.52 nm</u>

Tony gets stung by an ant. He applies baking soda, a weak base, to the site. What acid is Tony neutralizing with the baking soda
kumpel [21]
That's good !  I never heard of that before.  (Maybe because
I've never been stung by an ant.)

When an ant bites or stings, it injects a tiny amount of 'formic acid'
into your skin.  Soon, the formic acid itches, burns, and stings, and
after a while, a little piece of skin dies and falls off.  Some people
are seriously allergic to it, and it can make them really sick.

'Acids' and 'bases' are opposites, and one can neutralize (cancel out)
the other.  Tony is putting a weak 'base' on the sting, to neutralize the
formic acid that the ant left him as a little gift.

Which of Mendel principles would apply to mating two organisms that have two different alleles for three different traits
ozzi

Answer:

Law of independent assortment

Explanation:

This is because law of independent assortment state that alleles of two or more genes when two organisms mate will be inherited or pass down to gametes which are in one way or the other independent of each other or each of the alleles. Therefore parent can have up to three different traits and the alleles can be inherited by the gametes.
