<h2>Answer: Ultraviolet Light </h2>

Ultraviolet light, whose wavelength is approximately between 100 nm and 380 nm; is a type of electromagnetic radiation that is not visible to the human eye.

This light is used for many purposes, among which is the identification of fluerescent minerals.

In this sense, fluorescence is a property that certain materials have in which they absorb energy in the form of short wavelength not visible electromagnetic radiation (the ultraviolet, for example) and then emit some of that energy in the form of longer wavelength electromagnetic radiation (in the visible spectrum). This is also called luminiscence.

Hence, the correct option is a.

yKpoI14uk [10]

Answer:

Explanation:

Given

Wavelength of first timpani \lambda _1=2.2\ m

Frequency corresponding to this Wavelength

f_1=\frac{v}{\lambda _1}

where v=velocity\ of\ sound (343 m/s)

f_1=\frac{343}{2.2}

f_1=155.9\ Hz

Wavelength of Second timpani \lambda _2=2.1\ m

Frequency corresponding to this Wavelength

f_2=\frac{v}{\lambda _2}

f_2=\frac{343}{2.1}=163.33\ Hz

Beat frequency =f_2-f_1

Beat frequency =163.33-155.9=7.43

so approximately 7 beats per second

1. Why is the direction of free fall acceleration sometimes negative?
WITCHER [35]
If you define the ground as position zero and points above that to have positive altitudes, then the acceleration caused by gravity points in the negative direction. ... Gravity still acts in the downward direction. And the upward force from the floor is equal and opposite to your weight.

Suppose that the period of a particular ideal mass-spring system is 5 s . What would be the period of the system if the mass wer
yan [13]

Answer: T2 = 7.07s

Explanation: The period of a loaded spring of spring constant k and mass m is given by

T= 2π √m/k

With 2π constant and k, it can be seen with little algebra that

T² is proportional to mass m

Hence (T1)²/m1 = (T2) ²/m2

Where T1 = 5, T2 =?, let m1 = m hence m2 = 2m.

By substituting, we have that

5²/m = (T2) ²/2m

25 / m = (T2) ²/2m

25 × 2m = (T2) ² × m

25 × 2 = (T2) ²

50 = (T2) ²

T2 = √50

T2 = 7.07s
