Answer:

λ = 0.0167 m = 16.7 mm

Explanation:

The wavelength of these radio waves can be found out by using the formula for the speed of radio waves:

v = fλ

where,

v = speed of radio waves = speed of light = 3 x 10⁸ m/s

f = frequency of radio waves = 18 GHz = 18 x 10⁹ Hz

λ = Wavelength = ?

Therefore,

3 x 10⁸ m/s = (18 x 10⁹ Hz)λ

λ = (3 x 10⁸ m/s)/(18 x 10⁹ Hz)

<u>λ = 0.0167 m = 16.7 mm</u>

Nitrogen ​gas is more abundant in our atmosphere than oxygen! However, nitrogen needs to be converted into different forms to be
Pavlova-9 [17]

Explanation:

(A)role of nittogen fixing bacteria

=Nitrogen-fixing bacteria, microorganisms capable of transforming atmospheric nitrogen into fixed nitrogen (inorganic compounds usable by plants). More than 90 percent of all nitrogen fixation is effected by these organisms, which thus play an important role in the nitrogen cycle.

B)role of nitrifying bacteria

=Nitrifying bacteria convert the most reduced form of soil nitrogen, ammonia, into its most oxidized form, nitrate. In itself, this is important for soil ecosystem function, in controlling losses of soil nitrogen through leaching and denitrification of nitrate.

C)role of denitrifying bacteria

=Denitrifying bacteria converts nitrates back to nitrogen gas.

Explain the property of velocity. Name one substance with high velocity.
mafiozo [28]
Velocity is defined as displacement over time. Could you have possible meant viscosity? If so, viscosity is defined as the state of being thick, sticky, and semifluid in consistency, due to internal friction. And example of a substance with a high viscosity would be honey.
