A large fraction of the ultraviolet (UV) radiation coming from the sun is absorbed by the atmosphere. The main UV absorber in ou

r atmosphere is ozone, \(\rm O_3\). In particular, ozone absorbs radiation with frequencies around 9.38×1014 \({\rm \rm Hz}\) . What is the wavelength \(\texttip{\lambda }{lambda}\) of the radiation absorbed by ozone?

Answer:

The wavelength of the radiation absorbed by ozone is 319.83 nm

Explanation:

Given;

frequency of absorbed ultraviolet (UV) radiation, f = 9.38×10¹⁴ Hz

speed of the absorbed ultraviolet (UV) radiation, equals speed of light, v = 3 x 10⁸ m/s

wavelength of the absorbed ultraviolet (UV) radiation, λ = ?

Apply wave equation for speed, frequency and wavelength;

v = fλ

λ = v / f

λ = (3 x 10⁸) / (9.38×10¹⁴)

λ = 3.1983 x 10⁻⁷ m

λ = 319.83 x  10⁻⁹ m

λ = 319.83 nm

Therefore, the wavelength of the radiation absorbed by ozone is 319.83 nm

What do you mean by shearing stress??​
lord [1]

Answer:

Shear stress, force tending to cause deformation of a material by slippage along a plane or planes parallel to the imposed stress. The resultant shear is of great importance in nature, being intimately related to the downslope movement of earth materials and to earthquakes.

How to find the gradient of a velocity time graph
Sidana [21]
The area-

The area under the line in a velocity-time graph represents the distance travelled. To find the distance travelled in the graph above, we need to find the area of the light-blue triangle and the dark-blue rectangle.

<span><span>Area of light-blue triangle -
<span>The width of the triangle is 4 seconds and the height is 8 meters per second. To find the area, you use the equation: <span>area of triangle = 1⁄2 × base × height </span><span>so the area of the light-blue triangle is 1⁄2 × 8 × 4 = 16m. </span></span></span><span> Area of dark-blue rectangle The width of the rectangle is 6 seconds and the height is 8 meters per second. So the area is 8 × 6 = 48m.</span><span> Area under the whole graph <span>The area of the light-blue triangle plus the area of the dark-blue rectangle is:16 + 48 = 64m.<span>This is the total area under the distance-time graph. This area represents the distance covered.</span></span></span></span>

4A. How high is a 12 kg monkey in a tree if it has 509 J of gravitational potential Energy?
True [87]

4A. PE = MxGxH. (You can consider g as 9.8 / 10m/s as well)

509 J = 12x10xH

509 J = 120xH

H = 509/120

H = 4.24 m

Hope u got the answer....pls rate the answer if it is helpful for u....and I'm sorry I could not understand B part so I didn't do it.

Thank you

Metal sphere A has a charge of − Q . −Q. An identical metal sphere B has a charge of + 2 Q . +2Q. The magnitude of the electric
Goshia [24]

Complete Question:

Metal sphere A has a charge of − Q . −Q. An identical metal sphere B has a charge of + 2 Q . +2Q. The magnitude of the electric force on sphere B due to sphere A is F . F. The magnitude of the electric force on sphere A due to sphere B must be:

A. 2F

B. F/4

C. F/2

D. F

E. 4F

Answer:

D.

Explanation:

If both spheres can be treated as point charges, they must obey the Coulomb's law, that can be written as follows (in magnitude):

F =\frac{kQ*2Q}{r^{2} }

As it can be seen, this force is proportional to the product of the charges, so it must be the same for both charges.

As this force obeys also the Newton's 3rd Law, we conclude that the magnitude of the electric force on sphere A due to sphere B, must be equal to the the magnitude of the force on the sphere B due to the sphere A, i.e., just F.
