A large fraction of the ultraviolet (UV) radiation coming from the sun is absorbed by the atmosphere. The main UV absorber in ou

r atmosphere is ozone, O3. In particular, ozone absorbs radiation with frequencies around 9.38×1014 Hz . What is the wavelength λ lambda of the radiation absorbed by ozone?

Answer:

3.2\times 10^{-7}\ m or 0.32 μm.

Explanation:

Given:

The radiations are UV radiation.

The frequency of the radiations absorbed (f) = 9.38\times 10^{14}\ Hz

The wavelength of the radiations absorbed (λ) = ?

We know that, the speed of ultraviolet radiations is same as speed of light.

So, speed of UV radiation (v) = 3\times 10^8\ m/s

Now, we also know that, the speed of the electromagnetic radiation is related to its frequency and wavelength and is given as:

v=f\lambda

Now, expressing the above equation in terms of wavelength 'λ', we have:

\lambda=\frac{v}{f}

Now, plug in the given values and solve for 'λ'. This gives,

\lambda=\frac{3\times 10^8\ m/s}{9.38\times 10^{14}\ Hz}\\\\\lambda=3.2\times 10^{-7}\ m\\\\\lambda=3.2\times 10^{-7}\times 10^{6}\ \mu m\ [1\ m=10^6\ \mu m]\\\\\lambda=3.2\times 10^{-1}=0.32\ \mu m

Therefore, the wavelength of the radiations absorbed by the ozone is nearly 3.2\times 10^{-7}\ m or 0.32 μm.

Each ball has a negligible size and a mass of 11.5 kg and is attached to the end of a rod whose mass may be neglected. The rod i
Digiron [165]

Answer:

3.31m/s

Explanation:

Angular momentum for 3s is

L = L_i_n_i + L_3_s

L = 2(11.5kg) + \int\limits^ {3s}_ {0s} {(t^2 + 2)} \, dt

L = 23kg+(\frac{t^3}{3} +2t)^ {3s}_ {0s}\\\\L=38kgm/s

Moment if inertia is

I = 2ml^2

I = 2(11.5)(0.5)^2\\\\I=5.75kgm^2

Angular speed

ω = L/I

= 38 / 5.75\\\\=6.61

The speed of each ball is

V = ωL

= 6.61\times0.5\\\\= 3.31m/s

Determine the amount of potential energy of a 5N book that is 1.5m high on a shelf.
Alex73 [517]

Answer:

Potential energy of book = 7.5 J

Explanation:

Given:

Weight of book = 5 N

Height of shelf = 1.5 meter

Find:

Potential energy of book

Computation:

Weight = Mass x Acceleration of gravity

Mass x Acceleration of gravity = 5 N

Potential energy = Mass x Acceleration of gravity x Height

Potential energy of book = Mass x Acceleration of gravity x Height

We know that;

Mass x Acceleration of gravity = 5 N

So,

Potential energy of book = 5 x 1.5

Potential energy of book = 7.5 J

Cool facts about satellites ???
svetoff [14.1K]
Satellites travel at 18,000 miles per hour. ...

A satellite gets better fuel economy than a Prius.

If you put all of the data that our satellites collect in a year on DVDs, it would form a stack nearly 4 times the height of the Empire State Building.

There are over 2,500 satellites in orbit around the Earth.
