Answer:

Option (C) from a vacuum to air

Explanation:

Speed of light in any media depends on the refractive index(n) of the medium in which light is travelling.The medium having least refractive index have the fastest speed of the light.As the refractive index of the vacuum is less(1.0000) than that of the air(1.0003), so the speed of light will slows down while moving from vacuum to air.The refractive index 'n' is the ratio between speed of light in vacuum(c) to the speed at which the light is travelling i.e v,  (n = c / v).

As far as we know, the speed of light is faster in a vacuum than in any other medium. Therefor C is correct. The speed of light would slow down going from a vacuum to air.

5) When heated in a flame, the element Indium emits electromagnetic radiation with a distinctive indigo blue
grandymaker [24]

Answer:

\lambda=451nm

Explanation:

Hello there!

In this case, according to the given information, it turns out possible for us to solve this problem by using the following equation, defined in terms of energy, Planck's constant, wavelength and speed of light:

E=\frac{hC}{\lambda }

Thus, we solve for the wavelength as shown below:

\lambda=\frac{hC}{ E}

And finally plug in the energy, Planck's constant and speed of light to obtain:

\lambda=\frac{6.6261 x 10^{-34} m^2 kg / s*3x10^8m/s}{4.405x10^{-19}m^2kg/s^2}\\\\\lambda=4.513x10^{-7}m*\frac{1nm}{10^{-9}m} \\\\\lambda=451nm

Regards!

Describe in detail what you know about the enthalpy, entropy, and free energy changes when a sample of gas condenses to a liquid
ycow [4]
The keyword here is gas condenses to a liquid, which mean we're talking about condensation process

The enthalpy energy in condensation process is negative because it releases energy
The entropy in general will also decreases .

Temperature affect this change because it will create free energy if added with this result

hope this helps

(GIVING BRAINLIEST!!!)What is the correct formula for the ionic compound that forms when oppositely- charged ions of calcium and
Licemer1 [7]

Answer:

CaCO₃

Explanation:

Calcium ion is written as Ca²⁺

Carbonate ion is written as CO₃²¯

During bonding, the +2 ions from the calcium and the –2 ions from the carbonate will cancel out given a net charge of zero as shown below:

Ca²⁺ + CO₃²¯ —> CaCO₃

Thus, the correct formula for the ionic compound that forms when oppositely charged ions of calcium and carbonate attract is CaCO₃.

The atomic symbol Superscript 206 subscript 82 upper P b. represents lead-206 (Pb-206), an isotope that has 82 protons and 124 n
Serggg [28]

Answer:

\left \{ {{y=206} \atop {x=82}}Pb \right.

Explanation:

isotopes are various forms of same elements with different atomic number but different mass number.

Radioactivity is the emission of rays or particles from an atom to produce a new nuclei. There are various forms of radioactive emissions which are

  • Alpha particle emission  \left \{ {{y=4} \atop {x=2}}He \right.
  • Beta particle emission    \left \{ {{y=0} \atop {x=-1}}e \right.
  • gamma radiation             \left \{ {{y=0} \atop {x=0}}γ \right.

in the problem the product formed after radiation was Pb-206. isotopes of lead include Pb-204, Pb-206, Pb-207, Pb-208. they all have atomic number 82. which means the radiation cannot be ∝ or β since both radiations will alter the atomic number of the parent nucleus.

Only gamma radiation with \left \{ {{y=0} \atop {x=0}}γ \right. will produce a Pb-206 of atomic number 82 and mass number 206 , since gamma ray have 0 mass and has 0 atomic number.equation is shown below

\left \{ {{y=206} \atop {x=82}}Pb\right ⇒ \left \{ {{y=206} \atop {x=82}}Pb\right +  \left \{ {{y=0} \atop {x=0}}γ\right.

Thus the atomic symbol is \left \{ {{y=206} \atop {x=82}}Pb\right
