Plasmas are a common part of the world we live in. The definition of plasma allows them to exist within an environment consisting mostly of bound atoms.

A variety of human technology creates plasmas. The type I hear plasma researchers reference most is a simple RF Plasma. This is perhaps the most direct way to use electricity to shake off the electrons from their atoms within a confined volume by using fast oscillating electromagnetic fields.

Nature also creates plasma. An Aurora is certainly included. Many less "exotic" plasma states are much more common. A fire has a low population of the ionized species, but is still a plasma.

See Wikipedia for a list of available plasmas over there..! Or have a look below for the chart which shows variation of temperature and electron density in different plasmas..!

Plasmas

A quick Googling would've provided the answer. Common examples include

Lightning..!

The Sun (from Core to Corona)

Fluorescent Lights and Neon Signs

Nebulae (Luminous Clouds in Space)

The Solar Wind

Primordial Fusion during the evolution of the Universe

Magnetic Confinement Fusion Plasmas

Inertially Confined Fusion Plasmas

Flames as Plasmas

Auroras (Northern & Southern Lights)

Interstellar Space (It's not empty... It's a plasma)

Quasars, Radiogalaxies, and Galaxies (Emit plasma radiation and microwaves)

Large Scale Structures of Galaxies (Filamentary and magnetized..!)

Dense Solid State Matter (When shocked by nuclear explosion or earthquakes which emit both visible light and radio waves)

Plasmas are a lot like gases, they are made up of free electrons and ions of an element such as neon (Ne). You don't find naturally occurring plasmas too often when you walk around. They aren't things that happen regularly on Earth.

How many moles are in 125g of water?
ki77a [65]
To calculate number of moles, all you do is divide the given mass by the molecular molar mass: 

<span>i.e. 125g / 18g = 6.94444g </span>

<span>Therefore, your answer is (a) 6.94 g</span>

A wave with low energy will also have high frequencies and long wavelength. short wavelengths and high frequencies. low frequenc
ch4aika [34]
A wave with low energy will also have long wavelengths and low frequencies.

The given in a single photon of a wave is given by Planck's equation:
E = hc/λ
and
E = hf

Where λ is the wavelength and f is the frequency of the photon. This means that energy is directly proportional to the frequency and inversely proportional to the wavelength. Thus, it is visible that photons with a lower frequency and a longer wavelength will have a lower energy.
