Answer:

The rocks location is underneath an ocean or mountain

Explanation:

Silicic rock are igneous rock rich in silica. The amount of silica that constitutes a silicic rock is usually defined as at least sixty three percent. Granite and rhyolite are the most common silicic rocks found. These are found in the magma of the Earth.

Silicic is the group of silicate magmas which crystallise a relatively small proportion of ferromagnesian silicates. The main constituents of a silicic rock will be minerals rich in silica-minerals mainly.

What is the resolution of an analog-to-digital converter with a word length of 12 bits and an analogue signal input range of 100

Elena L [17]

Answer:

The resolution of an analog-to-digital converter is 24.41 mV

Explanation:

Resolution of an analog-to-digital = (analogue signal input range)/2ⁿ

where;

n is the number or length of bit, and in this question it is given as 12

Also, the analogue signal input range is 100V

Resolution of an analog-to-digital = 100V/2¹²

2¹² = 4096

Resolution of an analog-to-digital = 100V/4096

Resolution of an analog-to-digital = 0.02441 V = 24.41 mV

Therefore, the resolution of an analog-to-digital converter is 24.41 mV

Problem One: A beam of red light (656 nm) enters from air into the side of a glass and then into water. wavelength, c. and speed

Ivanshal [37]

Answer:

Part a)

$f_w = f_g = 4.57 \times 10^{14} Hz$

Part b)

$\lambda_w = 492 nm$

$\lambda_g = 437.3 nm$

Part c)

$v_w = 2.25 \times 10^8 m/s$

$v_g = 2.0 \times 10^8 m/s$

Explanation:

Part a)

frequency of light will not change with change in medium but it will depend on the source only

so here frequency of light will remain same in both water and glass and it will be same as that in air

$f = \frac{v}{\lambda}$

$f = \frac{3 \times 10^8}{656 \times 10^{-9}}$

$f = 4.57 \times 10^{14} Hz$

Part b)

As we know that the refractive index of water is given as

$\mu_w = 4/3$

so the wavelength in the water medium is given as

$\lambda_w = \frac{\lambda}{\mu_w}$

$\lambda_w = \frac{656 nm}{4/3}$

$\lambda_w = 492 nm$

Similarly the refractive index of glass is given as

$\mu_w = 3/2$

so the wavelength in the glass medium is given as

$\lambda_g = \frac{\lambda}{\mu_g}$

$\lambda_g = \frac{656 nm}{3/2}$

$\lambda_g = 437.3 nm$

Part c)

Speed of the wave in water is given as

$v_w = \frac{c}{\mu_w}$

$v_w = \frac{3 \times 10^8}{4/3}$

$v_w = 2.25 \times 10^8 m/s$

Speed of the wave in glass is given as

$v_g = \frac{c}{\mu_g}$

$v_g = \frac{3 \times 10^8}{3/2}$

$v_g = 2 \times 10^8 m/s$

Where is the potential energy equal to zero?

s2008m [1.1K]

Answer:

im sure your already past this but it's E.

Explanation:

This is because in this case potential energy is linear to height, which means that the higher the more potential energy.

What happens at night- describing air circulation

mash [69]

Answer:

The environment is warmed by the light throughout the day, such that the temperature increases. The weather is decreasing and the temperature decreases in the night as the sun falls. There was a misunderstanding. Thanks to the density, the atmosphere becomes densest on the earth. The air becomes colder and colder when you move up.

Explanation:

Answer is above
