A large fraction of the ultraviolet (UV) radiation coming from the sun is absorbed by the atmosphere. The main UV absorber in ou

r atmosphere is ozone, O3O3. In particular, ozone absorbs radiation with frequencies around 9.38×1014 HzHz . What is the wavelength λλlambda of the radiation absorbed by ozone? Express your answer in nanometers.

Answer:

0.03052 nm

Explanation:

From c = f¥

Where c = speed of electromagnetic wave in vacuum = 3x10^8 m/s

f = frequency of the wave

¥ = wavelenght of the wave.

¥ = c/f = (3x10^8)/(9.38×10^14)

= 3.052x10^-7 m

= 0.03052 nm

Answer:

λ = 3.2 x 10⁻⁷ m = 320 nm

Explanation:

The relationship between the velocity of electromagnetic waves (UV rays) and the their frequency is:

v = fλ

where,

v = c = speed of the electromagnetic waves (UV rays) = speed of light

c = 3 x 10⁸ m/s

f = frequency of the electromagnetic waves (UV rays) = 9.38 x 10¹⁴ Hz

λ = wavelength of the electromagnetic waves (UV rays) = ?

Therefore, substituting the values in the relation, we get:

3 x 10⁸ m/s = (9.38 x 10¹⁴ Hz)(λ)

λ = (3 x 10⁸ m/s)/(9.38 x 10¹⁴ Hz)

<u>λ = 3.2 x 10⁻⁷ m = 320 nm</u>

So, the radiation of <u>320 nm</u> wavelength is absorbed by Ozone.

DedPeter [7]

Answer:

3.1216 m/s.

Explanation:

Given:

M1 = 0.153 kg

v1 = 0.7 m/s

M2 = 0.308 kg

v2 = -2.16 m/s

M1v1 + M2v2 = M1V1 + M2V2

0.153 × 0.7 + 0.308 × -2.16 = 0.153 × V1 + 0.308 × V2

= 0.1071 - 0.66528 = 0.153 × V1 + 0.308 × V2

0.153V1 + 0.308V2 = -0.55818. i

For the velocities,

v1 - v2 = -(V1 - V2)

0.7 - (-2.16) = -(V1 - V2)

-(V1 - V2) = 2.86

V2 - V1 = 2.86. ii

Solving equation i and ii simultaneously,

V1 = 3.1216 m/s

V2 = 0.2616 m/s

What are the differences and relationships between speed, velocity, and acceleration
melamori03 [73]

Velocity is the rate of change of position with respect to time, whereas acceleration is the rate of change of velocity. Both are vector quantities (and so also have a specified direction), but the units of velocity are meters per second while the units of acceleration are meters per second squared.
