Answer:

Speed of gamma rays = 3 x 10⁸ m/s

Explanation:

Given:

Frequency of gamma ray = 3 x 10¹⁹ Hz

Wavelength of gamma rays = 1 x 10⁻¹¹ meter

Find:

Speed of gamma rays

Computation:

Velocity = Frequency x wavelength

Speed of gamma rays = Frequency of gamma ray x Wavelength of gamma rays

Speed of gamma rays = [3 x 10¹⁹][1 x 10⁻¹¹]

Speed of gamma rays = 3 x [10¹⁹⁻¹¹]

Speed of gamma rays = 3 x [10⁸]

Speed of gamma rays = 3 x 10⁸ m/s

A. How long does it take light to travel through a 3.0-mm-thick piece of window glass?
hodyreva [135]

Answer:

a) 1.517\times10^{-11} s

b) 3.41 mm

Explanation:

a)

We take the speed of light, c = 3.0\times10^8 m/s and the refractive index of glass as 1.517.

Speed = distance/time

Time = distance/speed

Refractive index, n = speed of light in vacuum / speed of light in medium

n=\dfrac{c}{s}

s=\dfrac{c}{n}

t=\dfrac{d}{c/n}

t=\dfrac{dn}{c}

t=\dfrac{3\times10^{-3}\times1.517}{3.0\times10^8}

t=1.517\times10^{-11}

b)

We take the refractive index of water as 1.333.

Speed in water = speed in vacuum / refractive index of water

Distance = speed * time

d=s\times t

d=\dfrac{c}{n_w}\times \dfrac{3\times10^{-3}\times1.517}{c}

d=\dfrac{3\times10^{-3}\times 1.517}{1.333}

d = 3.41 mm

How do power plants generate electricity?
GalinKa [24]

Answer:

Explanation:

electrons are a waste product of bacteria living around plant roots – plants discharge organic matter into the soil, which is broken down by bacteria. It is possible to harvest them using motonless electrodes and turn them into electricity, without affecting the plant’s growth in any way.

The weight of a block on the inclined plane is 500 N and the angle of incline is 30 degrees. What is the magnitude of the force
yanalaym [24]

Answer:

250 N

433 N

Explanation:

N = Normal force by the surface of the inclined plane

W = Weight of the block = 500 N

f = static frictional force acting on the block

Parallel to incline, force equation is given as

f = W Sin30

f = (500) Sin30

f = 250 N

Perpendicular to incline force equation is given  

N = W Cos30

N = (500) Cos30

N = 433 N

dedylja [7]

There are several possibilities.  Here are a few that occur to me:

--  If Point-A is the summit of Pike's Peak, he may feel somewhat
short of breath.

-- If Point-A is his grandmother's house, he may feel a great sense
of pleasant anticipation.

-- If Point-A is his office on Monday morning, then he may feel
a tightening sensation in his chest.;

-- If Point-A is his home on Friday afternoon, then he feels the
effects of a slow and steady drop in his blood pressure.

I finer point might be put to it if we had any idea of where
Point-A is, and what it represents in the grand scheme
of things.
