The frequency is $6.3\cdot 10^{14}$ and it is blue light

Explanation:

The relationship between the speed, the frequency and the wavelength of an electromagnetic wave is given by:

$c=f \lambda$

where

$c=3.0\cdot 10^8 m/s$ is the speed of light

f is the frequency of the wave

$\lambda$ is its wavelength

In this problem, the wavelength of the wave is

$\lambda = 4.8\cdot 10^{-7} m$

Therefore, its frequency is:

$f=\frac{c}{\lambda}=\frac{3.0\cdot 10^8}{4.8\cdot 10^{-7}}=6.3\cdot 10^{14} Hz$

The wavelength of this wave is

$\lambda = 480 nm$

And by looking at the table of the wavelengths of the colors, we notice that this corresponds to the blue light, which has a range of wavelength of

[450 - 495] nm

Lelechka [254]

Answer:

Mass, M = 1000 kg

Speed, v = 90 km/h = 25 m/s

time, t = 6 sec.

Distance:

${ \tt{distance = speed \times time }} \\ { \tt{distance = 25 \times 6}} \\ { \tt{distance = 150 \: m}}$

Answer:

3. both are true.

Explanation:

Energy increses with decrease in wavelenght.

For photoemission to occur, a threshold energy barrier must be broken.

Higher energy means more electrons will be emmited.

The electrons emmited will posses energy that is less than the incident energy by the value of the threshold energy.

So the higher the energy, the higher the energy possessed by the electrons.

Answer:

The reagents correspond to substances that react with others, generating a chemical reaction.

Explanation:

Example:

H2 + 02 -> H202

Hydrogen reacts with oxygen in a synthesis reaction, forming a new compound (hydrogen peroxide) called a product.

Does a physicist studies cells and life cycles?

zepelin [54]

Hey there!

No, that would be a biologist. Biologists study biology, or life. They're focused on life cycles, cells, evolution, and so much more.

Physicists focus on physics. They learn about forces, motion, and the study of the universal forces like gravity, momentum, and speed. Just like mathematics, they study patterns and look for new discoveries to be found in the fields of science, physics, and even mathematics.

Hope this helps!

An object is moving in a circle. If the radius of the object is doubled, and the period remains constant, the magnitude of the v

Anton [14]

Answer:

Twice

Explanation:

From the formula for velocity in a circle

V= 2πr/T

Where V is velocity

r is raduis

T is period

We see that as r increases V increases so if r is doubled V becomes doubled
