Answer:
When water freezes and turns into ice, it releases latent heat. Then, the ice that builds up on the plant will insulate it from the colder surrounding air temperatures. Because of this, some growers choose to spray their crop with water before the freeze occurs.
Explanation:
The equation relating velocity and wavelength is written below:
v = λf
where λ is the wavelength in m while f is frequency in 1/s.
Let's determine first the frequency from the speed of light:
c = distance/time, where c is the speed of light equal to 3×10⁸ m/s
3×10⁸ m/s = (300 mm)(1 m/1000 mm)/ time
time = 1×10⁻⁹ seconds
Since f = 1/t,
f = 1/1×10⁻⁹ seconds = 10⁹ s⁻¹
Thus,
v = (795×10⁻⁹ m)(10⁹ s⁻¹)
v = 795 m/s
