Answer:

Red light has longer wavelength, while blue light has higher frequency

Explanation:

Red light and blue light corresponds to two different portion of the visible part of the electromagnetic spectrum.

The two colors have different wavelengths - more precisely:

Blue: 450 - 500 nm

Red: 620 - 750 nm

So, we see that red light has a longer wavelength than blue light.

Moreover, the frequency of an electromagnetic wave, f, is inversely proportional to the wavelength, $\lambda$ :

$f=\frac{c}{\lambda}$

where c is the speed of light. This means that blue light, which has a shorter wavelength, has a higher frequency than red light.

The atomic number, or ________ number, is the described as the number of _________ in the nucleus of an chemical element.

Leto [7]

The atomic number or proton number (symbol Z) of a chemical element is the number of protons found in the nucleus of an atom. It is identical to the charge number of the nucleus. The atomic number uniquely identifies a chemical element. In an uncharged atom, the atomic number is also equal to the number of electrons.

Yuri [45]

Answer:

the question is incomplete, the complete question is

"A circular coil of radius r = 5 cm and resistance R = 0.2 ? is placed in a uniform magnetic field perpendicular to the plane of the coil. The magnitude of the field changes with time according to B = 0.5 e^-t T. What is the magnitude of the current induced in the coil at the time t = 2 s?"

2.6mA

Explanation:

we need to determine the emf induced in the coil and y applying ohm's law we determine the current induced.

using the formula be low,

$E=-\frac{d}{dt}(BACOS\alpha )\\$

where B is the magnitude of the field and A is the area of the circular coil.

First, let determine the area using $\pi r^{2} \\$ where r is the radius of 5cm or 0.05m

$A=\pi *(0.05)^{2}\\ A=0.00785m^{2}\\$

since we no that the angle is at $0^{0}$

we determine the magnitude of the magnetic filed

$B=0.5e^{-t} \\t=2s$

$E=-(0.5e^{-2} * 0.00785)$

$E=-0.000532v\\$

the Magnitude of the voltage is 0.000532V

Next we determine the current using ohm's law

$V=IR\\R=0.2\\I=\frac{0.000532}{0.2} \\I=0.0026A$

$I=2.6mA$

If a sound wave travels 680 m in 2 seconds and has a frequency of 400 hz, what is the wavelength of the wave?

Kipish [7]

Answer: 0.85 meters (with and without sigfigs)

Explanation: To find the wavelength, you just have to switch around the equation for wave speed: v (wave speed) = λ (wavelength)*f (frequency) so λ (wavelength) = v (wave speed)/f (frequency). You don't have the wave speed but you can calculate it. Since wave speed is measured in meters/second or m/s, you just have to divide the amount of meters you were given by the amount of seconds. You will get 340 m/s. Next, you have to plug the values into the equation: λ (wavelength) = 340 m/s (wave speed)/400 Hz (frequency). The answer is 0.85 meters (seconds cancel) and has the correct number of significant figures.
