Answer:

The longest wavelength of light is 209 nm.

Explanation:

Given that,

Spring constant = 74 N/m

Mass of electron m= 9.11\times10^{-31}\ kg

Speed of light c= 3\times10^{8}\ m/s

We need to calculate the frequency

Using formula of frequency

f =\dfrac{1}{2\pi}\sqrt{\dfrac{k}{m}}

Where, k= spring constant

m = mass of the particle

Put the value into the formula

f=\dfrac{1}{2\pi}\sqrt{\dfrac{74}{9.11\times10^{-31}}}

f=1.434\times10^{15}\ Hz

We need to calculate the longest wavelength that the electron  can absorb

\lambda=\dfrac{c}{f}

Where, c = speed of light

f = frequency

Put the value into the formula

\lambda =\dfrac{3\times10^{8}}{1.434\times10^{15}}

\lambda=2.092\times10^{-7}\ m

\lambda=209\ nm

Hence, The longest wavelength of light is 209 nm.

Suppose that, from measurements in a microscope, you determine that a certain bacterium covers an area of 1.50 μm2. Convert this
Paladinen [302]
1 m = 1 000 000 ym

converted other way we can say that:

1 ym = 10^{-6} m

Now, since we have ym^2 which is ym*ym which means:
1 ym^2 = (10^{-6}) ^2  =  10^{-12} m

we have 1,5 ym^2 which means that answer is:
1.5* 10^{-12} m

What is light energy
Oliga [24]
Light energy is defined as how nature moves energy at an extremely rapid rate, and it makes up about 99% of the body's atoms and cells, and signal all body parts to carry out their respective tasks. An example of light energy is the movement of a radio signal.

which process was found after wegeners time, helped scientists find out how the continents actually move.
Genrish500 [490]
I don't quite know what you're asking so I'll just go on a rant :) Wegener created and supported the continental drift theory, which stated that all of the continents once formed a super continent called Pangea. No one at the time believed in the theory though so he spent the rest of his life trying to find evidence to prove it. However, after he died scientists began to find information that supported his theory. When scientists began to study Earth's surface and the layers below, the theory of the tectonic plates was formed. This theory stated that Earth's crust, the lithosphere, was divided into twelve moving plates. This theory did in fact prove that Wegener's theory was correct. Another theory that proved Wegener's theory to be true was the process of Sea Floor Spreading. This theory stated that at divergent plate boundaries, new ocean floor was being created and the old was being pushed away from the boundary, the old sea floor would then be pushed to deep sea trenches created by convergent plate boundaries and essentially recycled back into the Earth. I hope this helped, sorry it is so long :)

A 10.0 kg weather rocket generates a thrust of 230 NN . The rocket, pointing upward, is clamped to the top of a vertical spring.
blondinia [14]

Answer: 0.2m

Explanation: Firstly only the Rocket's Weight Compress the spring which can be found by

F_r=M_r*g\\F_r=10*9.81\\F_r=98.1N

According to Hooks Law

F_r=k*x\\x=F_r/k\\x=98.1/480\\x=0.2m
