Answer:

Acids break down fabrics and can cause burns if the acids are strong.

Explanation:

When working with acids, it is advisable for a scientist for wear a protective apron or lab coat because acids break down fabrics and can cause burns.

Acids are chemical substances that produces excess hydroxonium ions in solutions.

Due to their unique properties they are highly corrosive and are used to remove rusts from any surface.
We they come in contact with the human body, they can cause severe burns especially if they are very strong acid.
If an apron is worn, then the body will be shielded.

A wave of infrared light has a speed of 6 m/s and a wavelength of 12 m. What is the frequency of this wave?

givi [52]

I'll be happy to solve the problem using the information that
you gave in the question, but I have to tell you that this wave
is not infrared light.

If it was a wave of infrared, then its speed would be close
to 300,000,000 m/s, not 6 m/s, and its wavelength would be
less than 0.001 meter, not 12 meters.

For the wave you described . . .

   Frequency = (speed) / (wavelength)

   = (6 m/s) / (12 m)

   = 0.5 / sec

   =    0.5 Hz .

(If it were an infrared wave, then its frequency would be
greater than 300,000,000,000 Hz.)

(a) If a proton with a kinetic energy of 6.2 MeV is traveling in a particle accelerator in a circular orbit with a radius of 0.5

Tju [1.3M]

Answer:

The fraction of its energy that it radiates every second is $3.02\times10^{-11}$ .

Explanation:

Suppose Electromagnetic radiation is emitted by accelerating charges. The rate at which energy is emitted from an accelerating charge that has charge q and acceleration a is given by

$\dfrac{dE}{dt}=\dfrac{q^2a^2}{6\pi\epsilon_{0}c^3}$
