When I went through with the math, the answer I came upon was: 
<span>6.67 X 10^14 </span>

<span>Here is how I did it: First of all we need to know the equation. </span>

<span>c=nu X lamda </span>
<span>(speed of light) = (frequency)(wavelength) </span>
<span>(3.0 X 10^8 m/s) = (frequency)(450nm) </span>

<span>We want the answer in meters so we need to convert 450nm to meters. </span>
<span>450nm= 4.5 X 10^ -7 m </span>
<span>(3.0 X 10^8 m/s) = (frequency)(4.5 X 10^ -7 m) </span>

<span>Divide the speed of light by the wavelength. </span>
<span>(3.0 X 10^8m/s) / (4.5 X 10^ -7m) =6.67 X 10^ 14 per second or s- </span>

<span>Answer: 6.67 X 10^14 s- hope this helps</span>

From Electromagnetic Waves,
Velocity  C = f *λ

Where C = Velocity in m/s. = 3 * 10^8 m/s.
            f = Frequency in Hertz     ( /s)
           λ = Wavelength in metres.

Wavelength of blue light = 446 nm = 446 nano metres = 446 * 10^-9 m.

f =  C / λ  = ( 3 *10^8) / (446 * 10^-9)    use your calculator.
               =  6.7265 * 10 ^ 14  Hertz.

A piece of aluminum foil has a known surface density of
bija089 [108]

The cube has 6 equal, square, foil faces. The mass of foil for each face is (380/6) milligrams.

The surface area of each piece is (380)/(6•11) cm^2.

The length of each side of the piece is √(380/6•11) cm

That's about 2.4 cm .

It's a cute little foil cube, just under 1-inch each way.

What direction does centripetal acceleration point?
Nesterboy [21]

Answer:

Inward

Explanation:

As the centripetal force acts upon an object moving in a circle at constant speed, the force always acts inward as the velocity of the object is directed tangent to the circle. This would mean that the force is always directed perpendicular to the direction that the object is being displaced. hope this helps :)
