First of all, the question is vague as you haven't mentioned the medium of propagation of the wave, which is extremely crucial.

For example light travels at <span>299,792</span> km/second in vacuum, but in certain semiconductors, it travels as slow as 9 km/second. Sound, ocean and seismic waves don't exist in vacuum at all.

If you mean the maximum possible speed any of these options can attain in any medium of choice for the different options, then the answer would be
b. radio waves, which travel exactly at the speed of light in vacuum (299,792 km/second) and with an almost similar(slightly less) speed in air. (Radio waves are nothing but electromagnetic waves with low frequency)

La luz roja visible tiene una longitud de onda de 680 nanómetros (6,8 x 10-7 m). La velocidad de la luz es de 3.0 x108 m / s. ¿C

Answer:

Frequency, $f=4.41\times 10^{14}\ Hz$

Explanation:

Visible red light has a wavelength of 680 nanometers (6.8 x 10⁻⁷ m). The speed of light is 3.0 x 10 ⁸ m / s. What is the frequency of visible red light?

It is given that,

Wavelength of a visible red light is, $\lambda=6.8\times 10^{-7}\ m$

Speed of light is, $c=3\times 10^8\ m/s$

We need to find the frequency of visible red light. It can be calculated using below relation.

$c=f\lambda\\\\f=\dfrac{c}{\lambda}\\\\f=\dfrac{3\times 10^8}{6.8\times 10^{-7}}\\\\f=4.41\times 10^{14}\ Hz$

So, the frequency of visible red light is $4.41\times 10^{14}\ Hz$ .

A spring in a pogo-stick is compressed 12 cm when a 40. kg girl stands on the stick. what is the force constant for the pogo-sti

il63 [147K]

Answer: It is the same amount of weight as the girl is putting on the pogo stick. When you are pushing something downward then gravity will push back with the equal amount of force.
