Answer:

c) The wavelength decreases but the frequency remains the same.

Explanation:

Light travels at different speed in different mediums.

Refractive index is equal to velocity of the light 'c' in empty space divided by the velocity 'v' in the substance.

Or ,

n = c/v.

<u>The frequency of the light does not change but the wavelength of the light changes with change in the speed.</u>

c = frequency × Wavelength

Frequency is constant,

The formula can be written as:

n = λ / λn.

Where,  

λn is the wavelength in the medium

λ is the wavelength in vacuum

<u>When the light travels to glass, it speed slows down and also the wavelength decreases as both are directly proportional. There will be no effect on frequency.</u>

4.2 mol of monatomic gas A interacts with 3.2 mol of monatomic gas B. Gas A initially has 9500 J of thermal energy, but in the p
Komok [63]

Answer:

14657.32 J

Explanation:

Given Parameters ;

Number of moles mono atomic gas A ,   n 1  =  4 .2 mol

Number of moles mono atomic gas B ,   n 2  =  3.2mol

Initial energy of gas A ,   K A  =  9500  J

Thermal energy given by gas A to gas B ,   Δ K  =  600 J

Gas constant   R  = 8.314  J / molK

Let  K B  be the initial energy of gas B.

Let T be the equilibrium temperature of the gas after mixing.

Then we can write the energy of gas A after mixing as

(3/2)n1RT = KA - ΔK

⟹ (3/2) x 4.2 x 8.314 x T = 9500 - 600

T = (8900 x 3 )/(2x4.2x8.314) = 382.32 K

Energy of the gas B after mixing can be written as

(3/2)n2RT = KB + ΔK

⟹ (3/2) x 3.2 x 8.314 x 382.32 = KB + 600

⟹ KB = [(3/2) x 3.2 x 8.314 x 382.32] - 600

⟹ KB = 14657.32 J

The electric field direction is defined by the direction of the force felt by
RideAnS [48]

Answer:

By a positive charge

Explanation:

The electric field is a vector consisting of a magnitude and a direction.

- The magnitude of the field depends on the configuration of the field: for example, for the electric field produced by a single point charge, it is

E=k\frac{q}{r^2}

where k is the Coulomb's constant, q is the magnitude of the charge, r is the distance from the charge.

- The direction of the field corresponds to the force that a positive charge would feel in that field. For example, the electric field produced by a single-point positive charge points away from the charge itself: this is because a positive test charge placed in this field would feel a repulsive force, so it  would move away from the source of the field. Vice-versa, the electric field produced by a single-point negative charge points towards the charge itself: this is because a positive test charge placed in this field would feel an attractive force, so it  would move towards the source of the field.

A gas at pressure 100 atm and volume 3.7 L has the pressure reduced to 32 atm what is the new volume of the gas
Alexeev081 [22]

Answer:

The new volume is  11.6L

Explanation:

<h3>       This problem is on the application of Boyle's law which states that" the volume of a given mass of gas at constant temperature is inversely  proportional to the pressure"</h3>

pressure \alpha \frac{1}{volume}

Given data

initial pressure p1= 100atm

initial volume v1= 3.7L

final pressure p2= 32 atm

final volume v2= ?

Apply Boyle's law we have

p1v1= p2v2\\

v2= \frac{p1v1}{p2}

Substituting our data we have

v2= \frac{100*3.7}{32} \\v2=\frac{370}{32} \\v2= 11.6 L

The new volume is 11.6L
