Answer:

If we use the equation for the transformation of velocities for moving frames:

v' = (v - u) / (1 - u * v / c^2) where we measure the speed of v' approaching from the left where v is in a frame moving at -u towards v'

v' = (.6 c - (-.6 c)) / (1 - (-.6 c) * .6 c / c^2) = 1.2 c / (1 + .6 * .6)

or v' = 1.2 c / (1 + .36) = .88 c

v is approaching from the left at .6 c in the reference frame and the other frame approaches from the right at -.6 c with speed u  (-.6 c) and we measure the speed of v as seen in the frame moving to the left

Determine the frequency of light whose wavelength is 4.257 x10-7 cm
Bas_tet [7]
<span>Frequency x Wavelength = Speed of light Now, speed of light = 3 x 10^5 km/s = 3 x 10^8 m/s = 3 x 10^10 cm/s Frequency = speed/Wavelength = (3 x 10^10)/(4.257 x 10^-7) =7 x 10^16 Hz</span>

In the park, there are 25 pigeons, 15 squirrels, 5 rabbits, and 5 stray cats. Why
Debora [2.8K]

Answer: Line graph should be used to show how one variable changes over time not to show multiple categories or variables are at one specific point in time.

Explanation:

In maths, statistics, and related fields, graphs are used to visually display variables and their values. In the case of line graphs, these are mainly used to display evolution or change of a variable over time. For example, a line graph can show how the number of divorces changed from 1920 to 2010.

In this context, the number of different animals in the park cannot be represented through a line graph because this situation does not imply a variable changing over time. Moreover, this situation includes multiple variables or categories of animals and the data shows only one specific point in time, which can be better represented through a bar graph.

Which statement is true about effective nuclear charge?a. Effective nuclear charge decreases as we move to the right across a ro
MissTica

Answer:

Option b. Effective nuclear charge increases as we move to the right across a row in the periodic table

Explanation:

The <em>effective nuclear charge </em>is a measure of how strong the protons in the nucleus of an atom attract the outermost electrons of such atom.

The <em>effective nuclear charge</em> is the net positive charge experienced by valence electrons and is calculated (as an approximation) by the equation: Zeff = Z – S, where Z is the atomic number and S is the number of shielding electrons.

The shielding electrons are those electrons in between the interesting electrons and the nucleus of the atom.

Since the shielding electrons are closer to the nucleus, they repel the outermost electrons and so cancel some of the attraction exerted by the positive charge of the nucleus, meaning that the outermost electrons feel less the efect of attraction of the protons. That is why in the equation of Zeff, the shielding electrons (S) subtract the total from the atomic number Z.

The <em>effective nuclear charge</em>, then, is responsible for some properties and trends in the periodic table. Here, you can see how this explains the trend of the atomic radius (size of the atom) accross a row in the periodic table.

  • As the<em> effective nuclear charge</em> is larger, in a same row of the periodic table, the shielding effect is lower, the outermost electrons are more strongly attracted by the nucleus, and the size of the atoms decrease. That is why as we move to the right in the periodic table, the size of the atoms decrease.
