<h2>Answers:</h2>

The speed of a wave is given by:

v=f.\lambda  (1)

Where f is the frequency and  \lambda the wavelength.

In the case of light, its speed is:

c=f.\lambda (2)

On the other hand, the described situation is known as Refraction,   a phenomenon in which the light changes its direction when passing through a medium with a refractive index different from the other medium.  

In this context, the Refractive index n is a number that describes how fast light propagates through a medium or material, and is defined as the relation between the speed of light in vacuum (c=3(10)^{8}m/s) and the speed of light v in the second medium:

n=\frac{c}{v} (3)

In addition, as the light changes its direction, its wavelength changes as well:

n=\frac{\lambda_{air}}{\lambda_{glass}} (4)

Knowing this, let's begin with the answers:

<h2>a) Frequency</h2>

From equation (2) we can find f:

f=\frac{c}{\lambda}  (5)

Knowing that 1nm=(10)^{-9}m:

f=\frac{3(10)^{8}m/s}{632.8(10)^{-9}m}  

f=4.74(10)^{14}Hz}     (6)   >>>Frequency of the helium-neon laser light

<h2>b) Wavelength in glass</h2>

We already know the wavelength of the light in air \lambda_{air} and the index of refraction of the glass.

So, we only have to find the wavelength in glass \lambda_{glass} from equation (4):

\lambda_{glass}=\frac{\lambda_{air}}{n}

\lambda_{glass}=\frac{632.8(10)^{-9}m}{1.48}

\lambda_{glass}=427(10)^{-9}m=427nm   (7)   >>>Wavelength of the helium-neon laser light in glass

<h2>c) Speed in glass</h2>

From equation (3) we can find the speed vof this light in glass:

v=\frac{c}{n}

v=\frac{3(10)^{8}m/s}{1.48}

v=2.027(10)^{8}m/s   (8)  >>>Speed of the helium-neon laser light in glass

The movement of protons through atp synthase occurs from the
Lera25 [3.4K]

Answer:

cytoplasm and channel gates

Explanation:

The movement originates from the cytoplasm. This is the fluid medium through which ions are shuttle from one place to another. However, though simple as it might appear to be, the movement requires carrier proteins. The are proteins that facilitate in the movement of the ions. These proteins have specially controlled gates called channel proteins. These are regulated proteins that open and close based on hydrogen ion concentration. These proteins are able to facilitate the movement of ATP molecules.

The slope of a Velocity versus Time graph will tell you the object’s what?
Verizon [17]
Hope it helped you.

My name is Charlie.

Today this question is about science,or chemistry.

A. Acceleration is a correct answer. Acceleration is a rate of change in velocity. 

It change in velocity/change in time. Next, to slope will be indicated by the acceleration.

B Change in position is a incorrect answer.

C. Velocity is a incorrect answer. Velocity is a displacement of an object during a specific unit of time. It can used two measurements are needed to determine velocity. It displacement or by the time. Displacement it includes a direction, so the velocity will also includes a direction. It can used speed with direction. Velocity it can be average velocity or an instantaneous velocity.

Have a great day!
