Frequency = (wave speed) / (wavelength)

Frequency = (100 m/s) / (0.002 meters)

Frequency = (100/0.002) (meter / meter-second)

Frequency = 50,000 / second (That's 50,000 Hz or 50 KHz)

A light ray incident from medium 1 to medium 2, where n1>n2. When the incident angle exceed the critical angle ac, the refrac

vovikov84 [41]

Explanation:

(a)

Critical angle is the angle at the angle of refraction is 90°. After the critical angle, no refraction takes place.

Using Snell's law as:

$n_1\times {sin\theta_i}={n_2}\times{sin\theta_r}$

Where,

${\theta_i}$ is the angle of incidence

${\theta_r}$ is the angle of refraction = 90°

${n_2}$ is the refractive index of the refraction medium

${n_1}$ is the refractive index of the incidence medium

Thus,

$n_1\times {sin\ \theta_{critical}}={n_2}\times{sin\ 90^0}$

The formula for the calculation of critical angle is:

${sin\theta_{critical}}=\frac {n_2}{n_1}$

Where,

${\theta_{critical}}$ is the critical angle

(b)

No it cannot occur. It only occur when the light ray bends away from the normal which means that when it travels from denser to rarer medium.

The average diameter of one tennis ball in a package of three is 6.8 cm. Which of the following is the combined volume of all th

Crank

We want to find the combined volume of 3 tennis balls. We will get that the combined volume is 493.7 cm^3

First, remember that for a sphere of diameter D, the volume is:

$V = \frac{4}{3}*3.14*(\frac{D}{2})^3$

Where 3.14 is pi.

Here we know that the average diameter of a tennis ball is 6.8cm, then we can replace that in the above equation to find the volume (in average) of a single tennis ball:

$V = \frac{4}{3}*3.14*(\frac{6.8cm}{2})^3 = 164.5 cm^3$

Now, in 3 balls of tennis, the combined volume will be 3 times the above one, this is:

$3*V = 3*164.5cm^3 = 493.7 cm^3$

Why can you see your own reflected image in a mirror but not on a dry, painted wall?

kaheart [24]

A wall uses diffuse reflection while a mirror uses specular reflection. For example, when parallel light rays enter a mirror, they remain parallel when exiting the mirror, allowing you to see a reflection of the light rays. On the contrary, when incident light rays enter a wall which is painted, the rays scatter, not allowing you to see anything but a painted wall.

What is required for both the light-dependent and light-independent reactions to proceed?

djyliett [7]

ATP is required for both light-dependent and light-independent reactions.
ATP stands for adenosine triphosphate.
Hope this helps ;)

C) An identical spring is pulled with a force or 75 N The elastie limit of the spring is 72N

tiny-mole [99]

Answer:

Spring cannot return to its original, since a part of its deformation is plastic, not elastic.

Explanation:

Physically speaking, stress is equal to the axial force divided by effective transversal area of spring. In addition, springs have usually a linear relationship between stress and strain in elastic region, since they are made of ductile materials. Axial force is directly proportional to axial stress, which is also directly proportional to axial strain.

Then, if force is greater than force associated with elastic limit of the spring, then spring cannot return to its original, since a part of its deformation is plastic, not elastic.
