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.

Infer​ the effect of deforestation on the carrying capacity of the Amazon rainforest.
RUDIKE [14]

Answer:

More than 20% of the amazon has been destroyed, affects biodiversity.

Explanation:

  • The biggest issues that the amazon is facing is the deforestation and it involves the clearing of land areas for logging, farming, and other land-use changes.
  • Effects that are seen are droughts, floods, destruction of habitats of flora and fauna along with the valuable services of the ecosystem.
  • This leads to a decrease in the carrying capacity of the species and the decline of the essential resources that are necessary to survive.

A book is sliding along a desk top. Because the book is in motion ,you know that the forces acting on the book are A. Balanced B
Virty [35]
Just because the book is moving doesn't tell you anything about the forces on it, or even whether there ARE any.

Just look at Newton's first law of motion, and this time, let's try and THINK about it too. It says something to the effect that any object continues in constant, uniform MOTION ..... UNLESS acted on by an external force.

A high school physics student is sitting in a seat read-
Nataly_w [17]

The equilibrium condition allows finding the result for the force that the chair exerts on the student is:

  • The reaction force that the chair exerts on the student's support is equal to the student's weight.

Newton's second law gives the relationship between force, mass and acceleration of bodies, in the special case that the acceleration is is zero equilibrium condition.

            ∑ F = 0

Where F is the external force.

The free body diagram is a diagram of the forces on bodies without the details of the shape of the body, in the attached we can see a diagram of the forces.

Let's analyze the force on the chair.

            N_{chair} - W_{chair} - W_{student} = 0 \\ \\N_{chair} = W_{chair} + W_{student}

Let's analyze the forces on the student.

          N_{student} - W_{student} = 0  \\N_{student} = W _{student}

           

In conclusion using the equilibrium condition we can find the result for the force that the chair exerts on the student is:

  • The reaction force that the chair exerts on the student's support is equal to the student's weight.

An electron in the n = 5 level of an h atom emits a photon of wavelength 1282.17 nm. to what energy level does the electron move
lions [1.4K]
This is an interesting (read tricky!) variation of Rydberg Eqn calculation.
Rydberg Eqn: 1/λ = R [1/n1^2 - 1/n2^2]
Where λ is the wavelength of the light; 1282.17 nm = 1282.17×10^-9 m
R is the Rydberg constant: R = 1.09737×10^7 m-1
n2 = 5 (emission)
Hence 1/(1282.17 ×10^-9) = 1.09737× 10^7 [1/n1^2 – 1/25^2]
Some rearranging and collecting up terms:
1 = (1282.17 ×10^-9) (1.09737× 10^7)[1/n2 -1/25]
1= 14.07[1/n^2 – 1/25]
1 =14.07/n^2 – (14.07/25)
14.07n^2 = 1 + 0.5628
n = √(14.07/1.5628) = 3
