Answer:

Frequency, f=2.30\times 10^{18}\ Hz

Explanation:

Given that,

The wavelength of the x-rays, \lambda=0.13\ nm=0.13\times 10^{-9}\ m

We need to find the frequency of an x-ray. All electromagnetic wave travel with a speed of light. It is given by the formula as :

c=f\lambda

f is the frequency

f=\dfrac{c}{\lambda}\\\\f=\dfrac{3\times 10^8}{0.13\times 10^{-9}}\\\\f=2.30\times 10^{18}\ Hz

So, the frequency of an x-ray is 2.30\times 10^{18}\ Hz. Hence, this is the required solution.

When water freezes, it expands. what does this say about the density of ice compared with the density of water?
masya89 [10]
<span>When water freezes to form ice, its volume expands. However, we know from conservation of mass that the mass of the ice is the same as the mass of the water. Since density is defined fundamentally as mass / volume, and we have an expanding volume at a constant mass, the denominator of the equation grows, and thus the density of ice is lower than that of liquid water.</span>

The atomic mass of an element is defined as the weighted average mass of that element’s
marishachu [46]

Answer:

False

Explanation:

Atomic mass (Also called Atomic Weight, although this denomination is incorrect, since the mass is property of the body and the weight depends on the gravity) Mass of an atom corresponding to a certain chemical element). The uma (u) is usually used as a unit of measure. Where u.m.a are acronyms that mean "unit of atomic mass". This unit is also usually called Dalton (Da) in honor of the English chemist John Dalton.

It is equivalent to one twelfth of the mass of the nucleus of the most abundant isotope of carbon, carbon-12. It corresponds roughly to the mass of a proton (or a hydrogen atom). It is abbreviated as "uma", although it can also be found by its English acronym "amu" (Atomic Mass Unit). However, the recommended symbol is simply "u".

<u> The atomic masses of the chemical elements are usually calculated with the weighted average of the masses of the different isotopes of each element taking into account the relative abundance of each of them</u>, which explains the non-correspondence between the atomic mass in umas, of an element, and the number of nucleons that harbors the nucleus of its most common isotope.

Several wires of varying thickness are all made of the same material and all have the same length. If the wires are arranged in
aev [14]

Answer:

Option A is correct.

The wires will be arranged in order of increasing resistance.

Explanation:

The resistance of a wire is given by

r = (ρl)/A

where r = resistance of the wire

ρ = resistivity of the wire

L = length of the wire

A = cross sectional area of the wire

Provided all the other parameters are constant, resistance is inversely proportional to cross sectional area

r ∝ (1/A)

And the the cross sectional Area of the wire increases with increase in thickness & decreases with thickness

So, decreasing thickness ----> Decreasing Cross sectional Area ----> Increasing resistance.
