Explain the difference between wavelength and frequency

Chemistry

Katyanochek1 [597]3 years ago
4 0

Answer:

Wavelength (typically measured in nanometers) is the distance between two points in a wave.Frequency (typically measured in Hertz) is the number of waves in a specific time . Frequency and wavelength have both direct and inverse relationships. The crucial difference between frequency and wavelength is that frequency shows the total number of wave oscillations in a given time. As against wavelength specifies the distance between two specific points of a wave.

Explanation:

Frequency is how often something changes per second be it amplitude of a voltage on a wire or be it the bobbing back and forth of a bobblehead. Frequency is how often something moves up and down in a second. If a bobble head moves forward and backward in one second then it has a bobbling frequency of 1 Hertz (Hz). The unit of frequency is Hertz (Hz) or # of cycles or oscillations per second. A wavelength is measured in distance like meters (m). For photons or light or radiowaves the equation is wavelength=speed of light/frequency.

Which of the following statements best describes why a solution of 6.00 g of Ca(NO3)2?in 30.0 g of water has a greater boiling-p
sukhopar [10]
Boiling-point elevation is a colligative property.

That means, the the boiling-point elevation depends on the molar content (fraction) of solute.

The dependency is ΔTb = Kb*m

Where ΔTb is the elevation in the boiling point, kb is the boiling constant, and m is the molality.

A solution of 6.00 g of Ca(NO3) in 30.0 g of water has 4 times the molal concentration of a solution of 3.00 g of Ca(NO3)2 in 60.0 g of water.:

(6.00g/molar mass) / 0.030kg = 200 /molar mass
(3.00g/molar mass) / 0.060kg =   50/molar mass

=> 200 / 50 = 4.

Then, given the direct proportion of the elevation of the boiling point with the molal concentration, the solution of 6.00 g  of CaNO3 in 30 g of water will exhibit a greater boiling point elevation.

Or, what is the same, the solution with higher molality will have the higher boiling point.
