Answer: 12 Hertz

==========================================

Work Shown:

Frequency = (velocity)/(wave length)

Frequency = (600 m/s)/(50 m)

Frequency = (600/50) s^(-1)

Frequency = 12 Hertz

Note: 1 Hertz (abbreviated Hz) is one cycle per second. One way we can define what the cycle is, is to measure from one peak of the wave to the next neighboring peak. This is what the wavelength is. So saying "12 Hz" is basically saying "12 wavelengths per second".

Work is done when spring is extended or compressed. Elastic potential energy is stored in the spring. Provided inelastic deformation has not happened, the work done is equal to the elastic potential energy stored.

Ana wonders how light can affect a mystery material. The table below shows what happens when different types of light hit the my

vivado [14]

The light can definitely change the mystery material. This can occur through a change in temperature or color (option C).

A material is affected by light mainly if the material absorbs the light. Based on the chart, we know this mystery material can absorb two types of light:

Red light.
Yellow light.

Moreover, this phenomenon can lead to two main changes:

Change in temperature: Light affects materials by increasing their temperature of these. A common example is the way the temperature of an object increases if it is exposed to sunlight.
Change in color: Some materials react to light by changing their color.

Based on this, the material can change its color or temperature.

Note: This question is incomplete; here is the missing part:

A. Yes, but the mystery material can change in only one way, such as by getting warm, because all the light that a material absorbs will affect that material in the same way.

B. No. The mystery material can’t change because the light is not a physical thing. Light cannot change physical things like the mystery material.

C. Yes and the mystery material can change in one or two different ways, such as by getting warm and/or changing color, because different types of light can cause different changes to a material when they are absorbed.

D. There is no way to know whether the mystery material will change or not.
