Answer: The correct answer is "medium".

Explanation:

The expression for the relation between the speed of the wave and frequency is as follows;

$v=f\lambda$

Here, v is the speed of the wave, f is the frequency of the wave and $\lambda$ is the wavelength of the wave.

There is an inverse relationship between the frequency and wavelength. If the frequency of the wave increases then the wavelength of the wave decreases while the speed of the wave remains constant.

The properties of the wave can be described by amplitude, wavelength and frequency but the speed of the wave depends on the medium through which it is moving. The medium may be denser or rarer according to it the speed of the wave will vary.

Therefore, in the waves lab, you changed medium to see how it would affect wave speed.

Analyse the temperature versus time graph of water, given below.

BlackZzzverrR [31]

Answer:

Phase C - Liquid State

Phase E - Gaseous State

Explanation:

Usually, in phases of water, we have the following;

When temperature is less than zero, it is said to be in its solid phase as ice.

When temperature is between 0 to 100, we can say it is in the liquid phase as water.

When temperature is above 100°C, It is said to be in the gaseous phase as vapour.

From the diagram;

Phase C is the only liquid state because it falls between temperature of 0°C and 100°

Also, only phase E is in the gaseous phase because the temperature is above 100°C.

The wavelength of the blue light given off by a mercury vapor street lamp is 457 nm. What is the frequency of this light in hert

Fed [463]

Answer:

6.56×10¹⁴ Hz

Explanation:

From the question given above, the following data were obtained:

Wavelength = 457 nm

Frequency =?

Next, we shall convert 457 nm to metre (m). This can be obtained as follow:

1 nm = 1×10¯⁹ m

Therefore,

457 nm = 457 nm × 1×10¯⁹ m / 1 nm

457 nm = 4.57×10¯⁷ m

Thus, 457 nm is equivalent to 4.57×10¯⁷ m

Finally, we shall determine the frequency of the blue light as follow:

Wavelength = 4.57×10¯⁷ m

Velocity of light = 3×10⁸ m/s

Frequency =?

Velocity = wavelength x frequency

3×10⁸ = 4.57×10¯⁷ × frequency

Divide both side by 4.57×10¯⁷

frequency = 3×10⁸ / 4.57×10¯⁷

frequency = 6.56×10¹⁴ Hz

Therefore, the frequency of the blue light is 6.56×10¹⁴ Hz
