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 .

kvasek [131]
From the Hooke's law , the extension force of an elastic material is directly proportional to the extension. 
That is, F = k e, where F is the force , k is the constant and e is the extension
 F = 10 × 10 = 100 N
e = 1mm or 0.001 m
Hence, k = F/e
                = 100 N/ 0.001
                = 100000 N/m or 100 N/mm

3. How is using a model to study cells helpful?
4vir4ik [10]

Answer:

Yes, it is very helpful.

Explanation:

It's helpful since in a cell, plant or animal, there are a lot of different things. It's hard to memorize everything and know what they look like. Using a model can help you memorize everything better and even understand it better. If someone asked me where or what something was in a cell I think I would be able to recognize it better.

I hope this helps!
