Statement I: At the same temperature lighter gas molecules have a higher average velocity than heavier gas molecules.

Physics
1 answer:
PilotLPTM [1.2K]3 years ago
6 0

Answer:

Statement 1 and statement 2 are correct and statement 2 is the correct explanation of statement 1

Explanation:

Both the velocity and kinetic energy of a gas molecule depends on its relative molecular mass according to Graham's law of diffusion in gases. Hence, the greater the relative molecular mass of the gas, the lesser its average velocity and kinetic energy.

Hence we can see that statement 2 vividly explains the postulation of statement 1 and makes the points more easily comprehensible.

How is this formula ( Rt= r1 x r2 / r1 + r2) which is used to calculate total resistance of two parallel resistors found from th
Maru [420]

Explanation:

The total resistance used to calculate the total resistance of the two parallel resistor is given by :

R_t=\dfrac{r_1\times r_2}{r_1+r_2}

Taking reciprocal of the above equation.

\dfrac{1}{R_t}=\dfrac{r_1+r_2}{r_1\times r_2}

We can also write the above equation as :

\dfrac{1}{R_t}=\dfrac{r_1}{r_1\times r_2}+\dfrac{r_2}{r_1\times r_2}

On simplification of above equation,

\dfrac{1}{R_t}=\dfrac{1}{r_2}+\dfrac{1}{r_1}

or

\dfrac{1}{R_t}=\dfrac{1}{r_1}+\dfrac{1}{r_2}

Hence, proved.

What is an example of frequency
emmasim [6.3K]

'Frequency' is a word that often confuses some people ... for no good reason.
It just means "frequent-ness" or "often-ness" ... how often something happens.

The SI unit of frequency is the Hertz (Hz).  Hz means 'per second'.
So  " 13 Hz "  means  13 per second.

Here are examples of frequency:

-- 780 kilohertz (on your AM radio dial)
-- 98.7 Megahertz (on your FM dial)
-- 5.8 Gigahertz
-- twice a day
-- three per week
-- every 6 months

Humans experience the longest visible electromagnetic waves as
Margarita [4]

Answer:

Red light

Explanation:

The electromagnetic spectrum classifies all the electromagnetic waves according to their wavelength/frequency. In order from shortest to longest wavelength, we have

Gamma rays

X rays

Ultraviolet

Visible light

Infrared

Microwaves

Radio waves

All of these waves are invisible to human eye, except for the "visible light" part of the spectrum. Waves in the visible light part are perceived by human as different colors, depending on their wavelength. More specifically, they appear as follows:

Violet (380-450 nm)

Blue (450-495 nm)

Green (495-570 nm)

Yellow (570-590 nm)

Orange (590-620 nm)

Red (620-750 nm)

So we see that the longest electromagnetic wave in the visible light part of the spectrum corresponds to red light.
