Frequency can be defined as the ratio between the speed of the wave and its wavelength, that is

f= \frac{v}{\lambda}

At the same time, the frequency is the inverse of the Period so

T = \frac{1}{f}

If we join the two expressions we will have to

T = \frac{\lambda}{v}

Replacing we have that

T = \frac{4.9*10^{-2}}{1522}

T = 3.219*10^{-5} s

Therefore the period of the wave is 3.219*10^{-5} s

water flows horizontally from a hose that is 3m above the ground. the water lands 7.2m to the right of the hose . how long does
Sidana [21]

Answer:

0.782 s

Explanation:

The water flows horizontally from the hose, so its initial vertical velocity is 0.

Given:

y₀ = 3 m

y = 0 m

v₀ = 0 m/s

a = -9.8 m/s²

Find: t

y = y₀ + v₀ t + ½ at²

0 m = 3 m + (0 m/s) t + ½ (-9.8 m/s²) t²

t = 0.782 s

Round as needed.

What is meant in astronomy by the phrase "adaptive optics?
Sergeu [11.5K]
<h2>Answer: a.The mirrors and eyepiece of a large telescope are spring-loaded to allow them to return quickly to a known position. </h2>

Explanation:

Adaptive optics is a method used in several astronomical observatories to counteract in real time the effects of the Earth's atmosphere on the formation of astronomical images.

This is done through the insertion into the optical path of the telescope of sophisticated deformable mirrors supported by a set of computationally controlled actuators. Thus obtaining clear images despite the effects of atmospheric turbulence that cause the unwanted distortion.

It should be noted that with this technique it is also necessary to have a moderately bright reference star that is very close to the object to be observed and studied. However, it is not always possible to find such stars, so a powerful laser beam is used to point towards the Earth's upper atmosphere and create artificial stars.

The rate constants for the reactions of atomic chlorine and of hydroxyl radical with ozone are given by 3 × 10-11 e-250/T and 2
Vlada [557]

Answer:

Calculate the ratio of the rates of ozone destruction by these catalysts at 20 km, given that at this altitude the average concentration of OH is about 100 times that of Cl and that the temperature is about -50 °C

Knowing

Rate constants for the reactions of atomic chlorine and of hydroxyl radical with ozone are given by 3x10^{-11} e^{-255/T}  and 2x10^{-12} e^{-940/T}  

T = -50 °C = 223 K

The reaction rate will be given by [Cl] [O3] 3x10^{-11} e^{-255/223} = 9.78^{-12} [Cl] [O3]  

Than, the reaction rate of OH with O3 is

Rate = [OH] [O3] 2x10^{-12} e^{-940/223} = 2.95^{-14} [OH] [O3]

Considering these 2 rates we can realize the ratio of the reaction with Cl to the reaction with OH is 330 * [Cl] / [OH]

Than, the concentration of OH is approximately 100 times of Cl, and the result will be that the reaction with Cl is 3.3 times faster than the  reaction with OH

Calculate the rate constant for ozone destruction by chlorine under conditions in the Antarctic ozone hole, when the temperature is about -80 °C and the concentration of atomic chlorine increases by a factor of one hundred to about 4 × 105 molecules cm-3

Knowing

Rate constants for the reactions of atomic chlorine and of hydroxyl radical with ozone are given by 3x10^{-11} e^{-255/T}  and 2x10^{-12} e^{-940/T}  

T = -80 °C = 193 K

The reaction rate will be given by [Cl] [O3] 3x10^{-11} e^{-255/193} = 8.21^{-12} [Cl] [O3]  

Than, the reaction rate of OH with O3 is

Rate = [OH] [O3] 2x10^{-12} e^{-940/193} = 1.53^{-14} [OH] [O3]

Considering these 2 rates we can realize the ratio of the reaction with Cl to the reaction with OH is 535 * [Cl] / [OH]

Than, considering the concentration of Cl increases by a factor of 100 to about 4 × 10^{5} molecules cm^{-3}, the result will be that the reaction with OH will be 535 + (100 to about 4 × 10^{5} molecules cm^{-3}) times faster than the  reaction with Cl

Which part of the electromagnetic spectrum have the highest level of photon energy
Pani-rosa [81]
The energy carried by one photon is directly proportional to its
frequency.  So the photon energy is greatest for the electromagnetic
waves with the highest frequency / shortest wavelengths. 

That's why when you get past visible light and on up through ultraviolet,
X-rays, and gamma rays, the radiation becomes dangerous ==> each
photon carries enough energy to tear electrons away from their atoms,
ripping molecules apart and damaging cells.

The photon with the highest energy is a gamma-ray photon.
