What is the frequency of X-rays of 10 nm wavelength? 6 x 1016 Hz 3 x 1016 Hz 3.00 Hz 6 x 108 Hz

1 answer:

8 0

The frequency of any wave is (wave speed) / (wavelength) .

The speed of light is 3 x 10⁸ m/s.
If the wavelength is 10 nm (10⁻⁸ m) , then the frequency is

(3 x 10⁸) / (10⁻⁸) = <em>3 x 10¹⁶ Hz</em>

That's 30 million gigahertz !

Answer:

138.18 minutes

Explanation:

$L_v$ = Latent heat of water at 0°C = 80 cal/g

m = Mass of water = 570 g

Heat removed for freezing

$Q=mL_v\\\Rightarrow Q=570\times 80\\\Rightarrow Q=45600\ cal$

Let N be the number of cycles and each cycle removes 56 cal from the freezer.

So,

$55\times N=45600\\\Rightarrow N=\frac{45600}{55}$

Each cycle takes 10 seconds so the total time would be

$\frac{45600}{55}\times \frac{10}{60}=138.18\ minutes$

The total time taken to freeze 138.18 minutes

The relative hardness of a mineral can best be tested by

stellarik [79]

<span>The relative hardness of a mineral can be tested by the Moh’s scale or the mineral hardness. The Moh’s scale can be characterized by the ability of the mineral to resist scratch resistance by scratching a harder or softer mineral. It has a scale of 1 to 10 where 1 being the softest and 10 being the hardest. The relative hardness of a mineral can best be tested by scratching the mineral across a glass plate. The answer is letter A. </span>
