Answer:

Explanation:

False

Electric conductivity in metals is the result of the motion of charged particles called electrons. Atoms of metallic elements are distinguished by the availability of valence electrons. Valence electrons are the electrons in the outer shell of an atom and free to move around.

These free electrons are free to move in the lattice of metal and result in electric current when a voltage is applied.

Answer:

λ = 3.2 x 10⁻⁷ m = 320 nm

Explanation:

The relationship between the velocity of electromagnetic waves (UV rays) and the their frequency is:

v = fλ

where,

v = c = speed of the electromagnetic waves (UV rays) = speed of light

c = 3 x 10⁸ m/s

f = frequency of the electromagnetic waves (UV rays) = 9.38 x 10¹⁴ Hz

λ = wavelength of the electromagnetic waves (UV rays) = ?

Therefore, substituting the values in the relation, we get:

3 x 10⁸ m/s = (9.38 x 10¹⁴ Hz)(λ)

λ = (3 x 10⁸ m/s)/(9.38 x 10¹⁴ Hz)

So, the radiation of <u>320 nm</u> wavelength is absorbed by Ozone.

Ray Of Light [21]

Answer:

period of oscillations is 0.695 second

Explanation:

given data

mass m = 0.350 kg

spring stretches x = 12 cm = 0.12 m

to find out

period of oscillations

solution

we know here that force

force = k × x .........1

so force = mg = 0.35 (9.8) = 3.43 N

3.43 = k × 0.12

k = 28.58 N/m

so period of oscillations is

period of oscillations = 2π × $\sqrt{\frac{m}{k} }$ ................2

put here value

period of oscillations = 2π × $\sqrt{\frac{0.35}{28.58} }$

period of oscillations = 0.6953

so period of oscillations is 0.695 second
