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

<h2>The different forces acting on the ball while its in air</h2>

Amy throws a softball through the air. Applied, drag and gravitational forces are acting on the ball while it’s in the air. The softball experiences force as a result of Amy’s throw. As the ball moves, it experiences from the air it passes through.

It also experiences a downward pull because earth has the property to attract everything which is on the earth towards it. The ball is moving in the air but earth applies force on the ball to get back on the ground. Hence, in this way, gravitational force applies.

There is also a drag force which results due to friction that is present in the air. It resist to move ball in the air and there will also be applied force which is given by a person who throws by applying force.

a man pushes on a wall with a force of 50N. what are the size and direction of the force that the wall exert on the man?
Ira Lisetskai [31]
According to Newton's 3rd law of motion, every action has an equal and opposite reaction. So Wall must apply a force of 50 Newton but in opposite direction. Hope you got it :-D

Which of these is a mixture?
PSYCHO15rus [73]

Answer:

Air is a mixture.

Explanation:

Air is a homogeneous mixture. It is made up of gaseous substances such as nitrogen, oxygen, and smaller amounts of others.

Carbon dioxide is a pure substance, not a mixture.

Carbon is another pure substance, it cannot be separated into other substances.

Oxygen is just oxygen, it does not contain any other substance.
