I'll be happy to solve the problem using the information that
you gave in the question, but I have to tell you that this wave
is not infrared light.

If it was a wave of infrared, then its speed would be close
to 300,000,000 m/s, not 6 m/s, and its wavelength would be
less than 0.001 meter, not 12 meters.

For the wave you described . . .

   Frequency = (speed) / (wavelength)

   = (6 m/s) / (12 m)

   = 0.5 / sec

   =    0.5 Hz .

(If it were an infrared wave, then its frequency would be
greater than 300,000,000,000 Hz.)

Frequency(ν) = speed of infrared light( c )/wavelength( λ ) = 6/12 = 1/2 = 0.5 s^-1 .

A sliver cylindrical rod has a length of 0.5 m and a radius of 0.4 m, find the density of the rod if it's mass is 2.640 kg

Serga [27]

Answer:

Density=10.50kg/m³

Explanation:

$Solution,\\Height(h)=0.5m\\Radius(r)=0.4m\\Now, \\Volume=\pi r^{2} h\\\\Volume=\pi *(0.4m)^{2} *0.5m\\\\Volume=0.251327m^{3} \\\\Again,\\\\Density=\frac{mass}{volume} \\\\Density=\frac{2.640kg}{0.251327} \\\\Density=10.50kg/m^{3}$

Alice and Tom dive from an overhang into the lake below. Tom simply drops straight down from the edge, but Alice takes a running

crimeas [40]

Answer:c

Explanation:

Given

Alice launches with horizontal velocity $u=25\ m/s$

Tom simply drops straight down from the edge

Time taken by both the person is same as they have same initial vertical velocity i.e. zero so the time taken to reach the ground is zero.

Although Alice will travel more horizontal distance compared to Tom.

Thus option c is correct

Using your Periodic Table, which element below has the smallest atomic radius? A.) Sodium, B.) Chlorine, C.) Phosphorus, D.) Iro

belka [17]

Chlorine has the smallest atomic radius since the atomic radius decreases as you travel to the right and up

How much ice (at 0Â°C) must be added to 1.90 kg of water at 79 Â°C so as to end up with all liquid at 8 Â°C? (ci = 2000 J/(kg.Â°

muminat

m = mass of the ice added = ?

M = mass of water = 1.90 kg

$c_{w}$ = specific heat of the water = 4186 J/(kg ⁰C)

$c_{i}$ = specific heat of the ice = 2000 J/(kg ⁰C)

$L_{f}$ = latent heat of fusion of ice to water = 3.35 x 10⁵ J/kg

$T_{ii}$ = initial temperature of ice = 0 ⁰C

$T_{wi}$ = initial temperature of water = 79 ⁰C

T = final equilibrium temperature = 8 ⁰C

using conservation of heat

Heat gained by ice = Heat lost by water

m $c_{w}$ (T - $T_{ii}$ ) + m $L_{f}$ = M $c_{w}$ ( $T_{wi}$ - T)

inserting the values

m (4186) (8 - 0) + m (3.35 x 10⁵ ) = (1.90) (4186) (79 - 8)

m = 1.53 kg
