3.51 × 10^-7m

Explanation:

Refractive index = wavelength of the light in air ÷ wavelength in the medium

wavelength in the medium = wavelength of the light in air ÷ refractive index

= 5.4 * 10^-7 ÷ 1.54

= 3.51 × 10^-7m

What happens to the body when one organ is not working properly​
Vinil7 [7]

Answer: Organ failure is when a major organ stops working. Major organs all have important jobs to keep the body alive. Each organ counts on the other ones to keep the body working. If one of these organs stops working, the patient will not be able to survive without the help of very strong medicines and/or machines.

How long does it take anya to cover the distance of 5.00 miles ?
sammy [17]
Here is the full information about the question. <span>Ilya and Anya each can run at a speed of 8.50mph and walk at a speed of 3.50 mph . They set off together on a route of length 5.00 miles . Anya walks half of the distance and runs the other half, while Ilya walks half of the time and runs the other half.
the calculation would be:
</span><span>
t = d / s </span>
<span>t = 2.5 (half of the total distance) / 8.5 (speed of running) </span>
<span>This is .294 hours which is about 1058s... </span>

<span>for the walking part... </span>

<span>t = d / s </span>
<span>t = 2.5 / 3.5 </span>
<span>t = 5/7hours = 2571 s. </span>

When the electron in a hydrogen atom moves from n = 6 to n = 1, light with a wavelength of ________ nm is emitted?
Oduvanchick [21]
First we find the energy level with the following formula, where a is the energy level, n1 is the final energy level, n2 is the starting energy level and r is Rydberg's constant in Joules
a = r \times ( \frac{1}{n1}  -  \frac{1}{n2} )
We insert the values

a = 2.18 \times  {10}^{ - 18}  \times ( \frac{1}{ {1}^{2} } -  \frac{1}{ {6}^{2} }  )
= 2.12 \times {10}^{ - 18}
The wavelength is found with this formula, where h is Planck's constant and c is the speed of light
wavelength =  \frac{h \times c}{a}
Finally we insert the values
\frac{6.626 \times  {10}^{ - 34}  \times 3 \times  {10}^{8} }{2.12 \times  {10}^{ - 18} }  = 9.376 \times  {10}^{ - 8}
Which is the same as 93.8 nm

Describe the shape of a convex lens and explain what it does to light.
alexira [117]
Convex lenses are thicker at the centers than the edges, they are known as the converging lenses. Rays of light that pass through the lens are brought closer together (they converge). When rays of light that are parallel pass through a convex lens they are refracted, the refracted rays converge at one point called the principal focus.
