Answer:

5.5 to 7 Mohs

Explanation:

Glass ranks around 5.5 to 7 Mohs, but sapphire crystal has a hardness of 9 Mohs, making it only slightly less hard than diamond.

Answer: 5.5

Explanation:

Several hardness scales have been developed to catalog the materials (specifical minerals), being the Mohs scale the best known. This scale, proposed by the German geologist Friedrich Mohs in 1825, consists of a ratio of ten minerals numbered in increasing order by hardness, from least to greatest.

Answer:

$3.2\times 10^{-7}\ m$ or 0.32 μm.

Explanation:

Given:

The radiations are UV radiation.

The frequency of the radiations absorbed (f) = $9.38\times 10^{14}\ Hz$

The wavelength of the radiations absorbed (λ) = ?

We know that, the speed of ultraviolet radiations is same as speed of light.

So, speed of UV radiation (v) = $3\times 10^8\ m/s$

Now, we also know that, the speed of the electromagnetic radiation is related to its frequency and wavelength and is given as:

$v=f\lambda$

Now, expressing the above equation in terms of wavelength 'λ', we have:

$\lambda=\frac{v}{f}$

Now, plug in the given values and solve for 'λ'. This gives,

$\lambda=\frac{3\times 10^8\ m/s}{9.38\times 10^{14}\ Hz}\\\\\lambda=3.2\times 10^{-7}\ m\\\\\lambda=3.2\times 10^{-7}\times 10^{6}\ \mu m\ [1\ m=10^6\ \mu m]\\\\\lambda=3.2\times 10^{-1}=0.32\ \mu m$
