What feature of the ocean basin is formed when old oceanic crust is forced under continental plates?

Sholpan [36]

Answer:

Mid ocean ridge is formed when old oceanic crust is forced under continental plates.

Explanation:

Ocean basin is a kind of land surface that is present under an ocean and below the water.

Ocean basin contain continental shelf,mid ocean ridge that is found on the sea floor.

The size of ocean basin is equal to the size of an ocean and is found below the ocean.

When, water covers the earth's crust region in the distant past,ocean basin formation occurs.This prcess require long time as spreading of sea floor and tectonic plates takes place.

Ex-Atlantic Ocean basin is formed over million years that is present in the European Continent.

Determine the wavelengths for Potassium (violet, λ = 400 nm) and Strontium (red, λ = 700 nm) light emissions. Calculate the freq

TEA [102]

Answer:

For Potassium:

Frequency = 7.5 x 10¹⁴ Hz; E (energy) = 8.83 x 10⁻²¹ J

For Strontium:

Frequency = 4.3 x 0¹⁴ Hz

E (energy) = 2.85 x 10⁻¹⁹ J

Explanation:

Wavelength is represented by λ, and Frequency is represented by ν .

E (energy) = hν = hc/λ, where ν = frequency; c = speed of light = 3 x 10⁸ m/s; 1 s-1 = 1 Hz

h = planck's constant = 6.62 x 10⁻³⁴ J.s; 1 nm = 10⁻⁹ m

1. Potassium λ (wavelength) = 400 nm, Frequency, ν is given by :

ν = c/λ = (3 x 10⁸ m/s) / 400 nm

= (3 x 10⁸ m/s) / 400 x 10⁻⁹ s-1

= 0.0075 x 10¹⁷s-1

= 7.5 x 10¹⁴ s-1

Frequency = 7.5 x 10¹⁴ Hz

E (energy) = hν = (6.62 x 10⁻³⁴ J.s) x (7.5 x 10¹⁴s-1)

E (energy) = 8.83 x 10⁻²¹ J

2. Strontium λ (wavelength) = 700 nm ,Frequency, ν is given by :

ν = c/λ = (3 x 10⁸ m/s) / 700 nm

= (3 x 10⁸ m/s) / 700 x 10⁻⁹s-1

= 0.00428571428 x 10¹⁷s-1

= 4.3 x 10¹⁴ s-1

Frequency = 4.3 x 0¹⁴ Hz

E (energy) = hν = (6.62 x 10⁻³⁴ J.s) x (4.3 x 0¹⁴s-1)

E (energy) = 2.85 x 10⁻¹⁹ J

A window in a house has a rectangular shape of 2.0 m by 1.0 m. The glass in the window is 0.5 cm thick, with a thermal conductiv

KonstantinChe [14]

Answer:

P = 5280 W

Explanation:

The conductivity of the materials determines that heat flows from the hot part to the cold part, the equation for thermal conductivity transfer is

P = Q / t = k A ( $T_{h}$ - $T_{c}$ ) / L

Where k is the thermal conductivity of the glass 0.8 W / ºC, A the area of the window, T the temperature and L is glass thickness

Let's calculate the window area

A = l * a

A = 2.0 1.0

A = 2.0 m²

Let's replace

L = 0.5 cm (1 m / 100 cm) = 0.005 m

P = 0.8 2 (20.5 - 4) / 0.005

P = 5280 W
