The speed of a wave changes depending on the temperature of the medium. What do you think is the reason for this?

1 answer:

5 0

Answer: Because of the different wave speed from light and sound. Explanation: There is a major difference between the speed wave of light and sound, light travels at 186, 282 miles per second, and sound can travel at different speeds and its significantly slower so it is easier to measure it

If a cross country runner covers a distance of 347 meters in 134 seconds what is her average speed?

a_sh-v [17]

347÷134=2.589552239 meters per second

2.589552239×60= 155.3731343 meters per hour

155.3731343 meters per hour= 0.096544389701642 miles per hour

hopefully this was right.

The maximum wavelength that an electromagnetic wave can have and still eject electrons from a metal surface is 459 nm. What is t

spin [16.1K]

Answer:

2.7067 eV

Explanation:

h = Planck's constant = $6.626\times 10^{-34}\ m^2kg/s$

c = Speed of light = $3\times 10^8\ m/s$

$\lambda_0$ = Threshold wavelength = 459 nm

Work function is given by

$W_0=\frac{hc}{\lambda_0}\\\Rightarrow W_0=\frac{6.626\times 10^{-34}\times 3\times 10^8}{459\times 10^{-9}}\\\Rightarrow W_0=4.33072\times 10^{-19}\ J$
