Considering the definition of wavelenght, frecuency and propagation speed,  the frequency of the electromagnetic radiation that has a wavelength of 720.0 nm is 4.167×10¹⁴ Hz.

In a periodic wave the wavelength (λ) is the physical distance between two points from which the wave repeats itself. It is expressed in units of length (m).

The frequency (f) is a measure of the number of cycles or repetitions of the wave per unit of time. Its unit is s⁻¹ or hertz (Hz).

The propagation speed is the speed with which the wave propagates in the medium, that is, it is the magnitude that measures the speed at which the wave's disturbance propagates along its displacement. Relate the wavelength (λ) and the frequency (f) inversely proportional using the following equation:

v = f×λ

In this case, you know:

  • v=c= 3×10⁸ m/s
  • f= ?
  • λ= 720 nm= 720×10⁻⁹ m

Replacing in the definition of propagation speed:

3×10⁸ m/s= f × 720×10⁻⁹ m

Solving:

3×10⁸ m/s÷ 720×10⁻⁹ m= f

<u><em>4.167×10¹⁴ Hz= f</em></u>

Finally, the frequency of the electromagnetic radiation that has a wavelength of 720.0 nm is 4.167×10¹⁴ Hz.

So boy, don’t you turn back.

<h3>Metaphors </h3><h3>Mother to Son</h3>

Well, son, I'll tell you:

Life for me ain't been no crystal stair.

It's had tacks in it,

And splinters,

And boards torn up,

And places with no carpet on the floor--

Bare.

But all the time

I'se been a-climbin' on,

And reachin' landin's,

And turnin' corners,

And sometimes goin' in the dark

Where there ain't been no light.

So, boy, don't you turn back.

Don't you set down on the steps.

'Cause you finds it's kinder hard.

Don't you fall now--

For I'se still goin', honey,

I'se still climbin',

And life for me ain't been no crystal stair.

D) Dr. Watson

The main reasons why Conan Doyle chooses to have Watson as the narrator are because Sherlock Holmes is too eccentric, solitary and unpredictable to narrate the story.

Conan Doyle chooses to have Watson as the narrator because it provides the reader with a facility to solve the mystery.

The kinetic energy of your moving vehicle determines your ability to stop the car.
Darya [45]
True. Kinetic energy increases
exponentially. Kinetic energy affects how fast your brakes can stop the car.

For example, if you double your vehicle's speed, your vehicle's kinetic energy increases by four times. This also means your stopping distance will be multiplied by four. So you can see it determined how fast you and your brakes can stop the car.
