Answer:

Absolute dating is based on calculations of the age of rock strata based on half lives of minerals, relative dating is based on the assumed age of fossils found in the strata and the laws of super imposition.

Answer:

Absolute dating and relative dating are both methods used to determine the age of a fossil. Absolute dating gives the actual age of a fossil in years based on the amount of radioactive and stable elements in the fossil. Relative dating gives an estimate of the age of a fossil based on the location of the fossil in relation to other fossils.

according to the collision theory, for a reaction to be successful, it must have correct orientation of the atoms of the reactan
DerKrebs [107]
The collision must have sufficient energy as well.  If sufficient energy is not present the activation energy will not be over come and the bonds in the reactants will not be broken.

I hope this helps.  Let me know if anything is unclear.

Select the correct term to complete each sentence.
leva [86]

Answer: 1. halve

2. halve

3. double

Explanation:

The relationship between wavelength and energy of the wave follows the equation:

E=\frac{hc}{\lambda}

E= energy

\lambda = wavelength of the wave

h = Planck's constant  

c = speed of light

Thus as wavelength and energy have inverse realation, when wavelength will halve , energy will double.

2. The between wavenumber and energy of the wave follows the equation:

E=h\times c\times \bar{\nu}

E= energy

\bar{\nu}\nubar = wavenumber of the wave

h = Planck's constant  

c = speed of light

Thus as wavenumber and energy have direct relation, when wavenumber will halve , energy will be halved.

3. The relationship between energy and frequency of the wave follows the equation:

E=h\times \nu

where

E = energy

h = Planck's constant  

\nu = frequency of the wave

Thus as frequency and energy have direct realation, when frequency will double , energy will double.
