The alpha line in the Balmer series is the transition from n=3 to n=2 and with the wavelength of λ=656 nm = 6.56*10^-7 m. To get the frequency we need the formula: v=λ*f where v is the speed of light, λ is the wavelength and f is the frequency, or c=λ*f. c=3*10^8 m/s. To get the frequency: f=c/λ. Now we input the numbers: f=(3*10^8)/(6.56*10^-7)=4.57*10^14 Hz. So the frequency of the light from alpha line is f= 4.57*10^14 Hz.

Ocean waves are traveling to the east at 4.9 m/s with a distance of 23 m between crests. (b) With what frequency do the waves hi
ser-zykov [4K]

Answer:

0.26086 Hz

Explanation:

solution:

The relative speed of the wave is:

v = 4.9+1.1 = 6 m/s

the frequency is:

f = v/λ

 = 6/23

 = 0.26086 Hz

likoan [24]

Answer: D. places where the magnetic field strength is either greater or less than the expected strength.

Explanation:

Magnetic anomaly refers to the change in the magnitude of the magnetic field of the Eatth with respect to the location's expected value.

Magnetic anomalies are places where the magnetic field strength is either greater or less than the expected strength. Therefore, the correct option is D.

Calculate the mass 9f the earth, assuring that uts is sphere with radius 6.67×10^6m.​
MA_775_DIABLO [31]

Answer:

6.86 × 10²⁴ kg

Explanation:

The mass of the earth m = density of earth, ρ × volume of earth, V

m = ρV

The density of the earth, ρ = 5515 kg/m³ and since the earth is a sphere, its volume is the volume of a sphere V = 4πr³/3 where r = radius of the earth = 6.67 × 10⁶ m

Since m = ρV

m = ρ4πr³/3

So, substituting the values of the variables into the equation for the mass of the earth, m, we have

m = 5515 kg/m³ × 4π(6.67 × 10⁶ m)³/3

m = 5515 kg/m³ × 4π × 296.741 × 10¹⁸ m³/3

m = 5515 kg/m³ × 1189.9639π × 10¹⁸ m³/3

m = 6546105.64378π × 10¹⁸ kg/3

m = 20565197.400122 × 10¹⁸ kg/3

m = 6855065.8 × 10¹⁸ kg

m = 6.8550658 × 10²⁴ kg

m ≅ 6.86 × 10²⁴ kg
