The San Andreas fault is an example of Transform tectonic plate boundary.
The San Andreas fault is a long narrow valley where the plates that make up the fault meet. It consists of the Pacific Plate and the North American Plate. These plates slide past each other when they move. It is also known as a strike-slip fault. As the plates bump and jam against each other as they slide past each other, earthquakes jar the regions around these plates.

The minimum energy needed to eject an electron from a sodium atom is 4.41 x 10-19 j. what is the maximum wavelength of light, in

Minchanka [31]

The energy of an electron as it is ejected from the atom can be calculated from the product of the Planck's constant and the frequency of the light energy. We can calculate the wavelength from the frequency we can calculate. We do as follows:

E = hv
4.41 x 10-19 = 6.62607004 × 10-34 (v)
v = 6.66x10^14 /s

wavelength = speed of light / frequency

wavelength = 3x10^8 / 6.66x10^14
wavelength = 4.51x10^-7 m = 450.75 nm

I will mark you as brainliest if you answer correctly

aleksklad [387]

(A) We can solve the problem by using Ohm's law, which states:
$V=IR$
where
V is the potential difference across the electrical device
I is the current through the device
R is its resistance
For the heater coil in the problem, we know $V=220 V$ and $R=220 \Omega$ , therefore we can rearrange Ohm's law to find the current through the device:
$I= \frac{V}{R}= \frac{220 V}{220 \Omega}=1 A$

(B) The resistance of a conductive wire depends on three factors. In fact, it is given by:
$R= \rho \frac{L}{A}$
where
$\rho$ is the resistivity of the material of the wire
L is the length of the wire
A is the cross-sectional area of the wire
Basically, we see that the longer the wire, the larger its resistance; and the larger the section of the wire, the smaller its resistance.
