The answer is A. <span>Q = -50 J, W = -50 J. A decrease in the motion of molecules in a system can be interpreted as a decrease or release in energy which means that energy should be negative. For the formula of energy:

U = Q + W

U is negative for the case of A. This gives the greatest decrease in the molecules' motion.</span>

Answer:

a

Explanation:

Now, i will consider that W and A refers to the work and heat done/applied to the system  

Always Q is related to the heat, so if Q is positive this means that the temperature of the system increase if Q is negative this means that heat is extracted from the system, and the temperature decreases, which implies that the motion of the particles decreases.

For the work is the same, if the applied work is positive, then the energy of the system increments (suppose a gas inside a piston, if you compress the piston the work is positive, and now the particles are close together, wich increments the temperature of the gas)

If the work is negative, this means that the system does the work, so the energy decreases, and also the motion of the particles, so the correct option A

Approximately what is the smallest detail observable with a microscope that uses ultraviolet light of frequency 1. 72 x 1015 hz?
postnew [5]

The wavelength, which represents the size of the smallest detectable detail that uses ultraviolet light  , is calculated as follows: 3×10^{8} / 1.72×10^{15} or approximately 1.74×10^{-7}m.

The distance between the two positive, two negative, or two minimal points on the waveform is known as the wavelength of the wave. The following formula expresses the relationship between the frequency and wavelength of light:

f = c / λ

where, f = frequency of light

            c = speed of light

            λ = wavelength of light

Given data = f = 1.72×10^{15}Hz

Therefore, λ = 3×10^{8} / 1.72×10^{15}

                  λ = 1.74×10^{-7}m

The wavelength, which represents the size of the smallest detectable detail that uses ultraviolet light  , is calculated as follows: 3×10^{8} / 1.72×10^{15} or approximately 1.74×10^{-7}m.
