Answer:

speed =  1.24 ×  10⁸m/s

frequency = 4.74 × 10¹⁴Hz

wavelength = 262nm

Explanation:

the speed of the helium-neon light in zircon is given by,

v = c / n

c = 3 × 10⁸m/s is the speed of light in vacuum (and in air)

n = 2.419 is the refractive index of diamond

v = 3 × 10⁸ / 2.419

= 1.24 ×  10⁸m/s

(b) Frequency

The wavelength of the light in air is:

λ₀ = 632.8 × 10⁻⁹

The frequency of the light does not depend on the medium, so it is equal in air and in diamond. Therefore, we can calculate the frequency by using the speed of light in air and the wavelength in air:

f₀ = c / λ₀

= 3 × 10⁸ / 632.8 × 10⁻⁹

= 4.74 × 10¹⁴Hz

and the frequency of the light indiamond is the same:

f¹ = f₀ =  4.74 × 10¹⁴Hz

(c) Wavelength

To calculate the wavelength of the light in daimond, we can use the relationship between speed of light in diamond and frequency:

λ¹ = v / f¹

= 1.24 ×  10⁸ / 4.74 × 10¹⁴

= 2.62 × 10⁻⁷m

= 262nm

Which air mass provides the moisture that produces the clouds and precipitation?
Andreas93 [3]
The MT is the air mass that provides the moisture that produces the clouds and precipitation. An air mass is a volume of air that is defined by its temperature and water vapor or moisture content .  MT is the abbreviation of marine time air mass. Air masses can control the weather for a relatively long time period from a period of days, to months, Most weather occurs along the periphery of these air masses at boundaries called fronts.

1. Elastic potential energy (D. EEl)

In this situation, the spring is compressed with the toy on top of it. The toy is stationary, so it does not have kinetic energy. However, the spring is compressed, so it does have elastic potential energy, given by:

E_{EL}=\frac{1}{2}kx^2

where k is the spring constant and x is the compression of the spring.

2. Gravitational potential energy (C. Eg)

In this situation, the spring has been released, so it returns to its natural position, so its elastic potential energy is zero. The toy is also stationary, since it is at its top position, where its velocity is zero, so its kinetic energy is also zero. However, the toy is now at a certain height h above the spring, so it has gravitational potential energy given by:

E_g = mgh

where m is the mass of the toy and g is the gravitational acceleration.

3. Gravitational potential and kinetic energy (A. Eg and EK)

In this situation, the toy is falling: so, it is moving with a certain speed v, so it has kinetic energy given by

E_k = \frac{1}{2}mv^2

Also, since it is at a certain height above the spring, it still has some gravitational potential energy, as in the previous point.

4. Gravitational potential energy (C. Eg)

The jumper is standing on the bridge, so it has gravitational potential energy given by its height h above the ground:

E_g=mgh

where m is the mass of the jumper.

5. This exercise has the same text of the previous one.

Stella [2.4K]
Kinetic Energy =  (1/2) mv^2.

m = 57.7 g = 57.7/1000 = 0.00577 kg.
v = 325 m/s.

E = 0.5 * 0.00577 * 325^ 2.    Use your calculator.

E = 304.728125  J.

That's the kinetic energy.
