1) Frequency: 3.29\cdot 10^{15}Hz

the energy of the photon absorbed must be equal to the ionization enegy of the atom, which is

E=2.18 aJ=2.18\cdot 10^{-18} J

The energy of a photon is given by

E=hf

where h=6.63\cdot 10^{-34}Js is the Planck's constant. By using the energy written above and by re-arranging thsi formula, we can calculate the frequency of the photon:

f=\frac{E}{h}=\frac{2.18\cdot 10^{-18} J}{6.63\cdot 10^{-34} Js}=3.29\cdot 10^{15} Hz


2) Wavelength: 91.2 nm

The wavelength of the photon can be found from its frequency, by using the following relationship:

\lambda=\frac{c}{f}

where c=3\cdot 10^8 m/s is the speed of light and f is the frequency. Substituting the frequency, we find

\lambda=\frac{3\cdot 10^8 m/s}{3.29\cdot 10^{15}Hz}=9.12\cdot 10^{-8} m=91.2 nm

Teeth are an example of which type of simple machine? lever wedge inclined plane pulley
andreev551 [17]

Answer: Teeth is an example of a wedge.

Explanation :

the machines that make our work easier are called simple machines. Some machines can be compound because they are a combination of more than two simple machines. For example, stapler.

Teeth are an example of a wedge. It is a simple machine which consists of two inclined planes. It is used to split apart objects.  

The mechanical advantage of a wedge is more than 1.

So, the correct option is (b) " Wedge".

A scientist reports a measurement of the temperature of the surface of a newly discovered planet as negative 20 Kelvin. What con
jarptica [38.1K]

Answer:

The temperature of this newly discovered planet violates the third law of thermodynamic, there is a mistake in this value.

Explanation:

The third law of the Thermodynamic says:

<u> At zero kelvin all molecular movement stops, which means that the entropy will be zero at this temperature.</u>

So we can say there is no thermodynamic system that has temperature values less than 0 K.

The conclusion of the report will be.

The temperature of this new planet violates the third law of thermodynamic, there is a mistake in this value.

I hope it helps you!
