The wavelength of violet light is about 425 nm (1 nanometer = 1 × 10−9 m). what are the frequency and period of the light waves?
BigorU [14]

1. Frequency: 7.06\cdot 10^{14} Hz

The frequency of a light wave is given by:

f=\frac{c}{\lambda}

where

c=3\cdot 10^{-8} m/s is the speed of light

\lambda is the wavelength of the wave

In this problem, we have light with wavelength

\lambda=425 nm=425\cdot 10^{-9} m

Substituting into the equation, we find the frequency:

f=\frac{c}{\lambda}=\frac{3\cdot 10^{-8} m/s}{425\cdot 10^{-9} m}=7.06\cdot 10^{14} Hz


2. Period: 1.42 \cdot 10^{-15}s

The period of a wave is equal to the reciprocal of the frequency:

T=\frac{1}{f}

The frequency of this light wave is 7.06\cdot 10^{14} Hz (found in the previous exercise), so the period is:

T=\frac{1}{f}=\frac{1}{7.06\cdot 10^{14} Hz}=1.42\cdot 10^{-15} s

Where does the majority of the mass of an atom come from
asambeis [7]

Answer:

The Nucleus

Explanation:

The nucleus contains the majority of an atom's mass because protons and neutrons are much heavier than electrons, whereas electrons occupy almost all of an atom's volume.  I hope this helps you :D

Suppose that the Mars orbiter was to have established orbit at 155 km and that one group of engineers specified this distance as
MAXImum [283]

Answer:

108 km

Explanation:

The conversion factor between meters and feet is

1 m = 3.28 ft

So the second altitude, written in feet, can be rewritten in meters as

h_2 = 1.55 \cdot 10^5 ft \cdot \frac{1}{3.28 ft/m}=4.7\cdot 10^4 m

or in kilometers,

h_2 = 47 km

the first altitude in kilometers is

h_1 = 155 km

so the difference between the two altitudes is

\Delta h = 155 km - 47 km = 108 km
