In vacuum, the speed of light is c= 2.998 x 108m/s. However, the speed generally decreases when light travels through media othe

r than vacuum. Then, the speed is approximately c divided by a quantity called the medium's refractive index (7). In which of the following, would the frequency of 210nm-light be the lowest? (c = 2v) (1) H2, n = 1.0001 (2) CCl4, n = 1.461 (3) H20, n = 1.3330 (4) silicone oil, n = 1.520 (5) diamond, n = 2.419

Answer:

Light of wavelength 200 nm will have lowest frequency in while traveling through diamond.

Explanation:

Speed of the light in vacuum = c

Relation between speed of light , wavelength (λ) and frequency (ν);

\nu =\frac{c}{\lambda }

Speed of light in a medium = c' = c/n

\nu =\frac{c'}{\lambda }=\frac{c}{n\times \lambda }...[1]

Where : n = refractive index of a medium

So, the medium with greater value of refractive index lower the speed of light to greater extent.

From [1] , we can see that frequency of light is inversely proportional to the refractive index of the medium :

\nu \propto \frac{1}{n}

This means that higher the value of refractive index lower will be the value of frequency of light in that medium or vice-versa.

According to question, light of wavelength 200 nm will have lowest frequency in while traveling through diamond because refractive index of diamond out of the given mediums is greatest.

Increasing order of refractive indices:

H_2

Decreasing order of frequency of light 210 nm in these medium :

H_2>H_2O>CCL_4>\text{Silicon oil}> Diamond

Calculate the weight of 3.491 into 10 to the power 19 molecules of cl2​
Rom4ik [11]

Answer:

The mass of 3.491 × 10¹⁹ molecules of Cl₂  of Cl₂ is 4.11 × 10⁻³ grams

Explanation:

The number of particles in one mole of a substance id=s given by the Avogadro's number which is approximately 6.023 × 10²³ particles

Therefore, we have;

One mole of Cl₂ gas, which is a compound, contains 6.023 × 10²³ individual molecules of Cl₂

3.491 × 10¹⁹ molecules of Cl₂ is equivalent to (3.491 × 10¹⁹)/(6.023 × 10²³) = 5.796 × 10⁻⁵ moles of Cl₂

The mass of one mole of Cl₂ = 70.906 g/mol

The mass of 5.796 × 10⁻⁵ moles of Cl₂ = 70.906 × 5.796 × 10^(-5) = 4.11 × 10⁻³ grams

Therefore;

The mass of 3.491 × 10¹⁹ molecules of Cl₂  of Cl₂ = 4.11 × 10⁻³ grams.

How is it possible to have thousands of different proteins when there are only 20 different amino acids?
STatiana [176]
Hi there!

Although there are only 20 amino acids, these amino acids can combine into an innumerable amount of combinations to form different and unique proteins. 

In case that doesn't make sense to you, I'll provide you with an analogy. You could be provided with 20 different LEGO bricks to work with. While there may only be 20 bricks, these bricks can combine into a vast amount of different formations, structures, etc. Amino Acids work in the same way.

ASAPPP. Describe how you could determine the specific heat of a sample of a solid substance. You may
Allushta [10]

Answer:

I would use calorimetric to determine the specific heat and I would measure the mass of a sample

Explanation:

I would use calorimetry to determine the specific heat.

I would measure the mass of a sample of the substance.

I would heat the substance to a known temperature.

I would place the heated substance into a coffee-cup calorimeter containing a known mass of water with a known initial temperature.

I would wait for the temperature to equilibrate, then calculate temperature change.

I would use the temperature change of water to determine the amount of energy absorbed.

I would use the amount of energy lost by substance, mass, and temperature change to calculate specific heat.
