According to our modern understanding, what is a nova?

1 answer:

3 0

A nova is a transient astronomical event that causes the sudden appearance of a bright, apparently "new" star, that slowly fades over several weeks or many months. Causes of the dramatic appearance of a nova vary, depending on the circumstances of the two progenitor stars

How do I calculate the value of the slope graph

marysya [2.9K]

Answer:

Slope is calculated using the equation: slope= rise/run (y/x). Take take y value of a point and put it over the x value of the same point and then simplify the fraction.

The wavelength of red helium-neon laser light in air is 632.8 nm.

e-lub [12.9K]

(a) $4.74\cdot 10^14 Hz$

The frequency of an electromagnetic wave is given by:

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

where

$c=3.0\cdot 10^8 m/s$ is the speed of the wave in a vacuum (speed of light)

$\lambda$ is the wavelength

In this problem, we have laser light with wavelength

$\lambda=632.8 nm=6.33\cdot 10^{-7} m$ . Substituting into the formula, we find its frequency:

$f=\frac{3.0\cdot 10^8 m/s}{6.33\cdot 10^{-7} m}=4.74\cdot 10^14 Hz$

(b) 427.6 nm

The wavelength of an electromagnetic wave in a medium is given by:

$\lambda=\frac{\lambda_0}{n}$

where

$\lambda_0$ is the original wavelength in a vacuum (approximately equal to that in air)

$n$ is the index of refraction of the medium

In this problem, we have

$\lambda_0=632.8 nm$

n = 1.48 (index of refraction of glass)

Substituting into the formula,

$\lambda=\frac{632.8 nm}{1.48}=427.6 nm$

(c) $2.03\cdot 10^8 m/s$

The speed of an electromagnetic wave in a medium is

$v=\frac{c}{n}$

where c is the speed of light in a vacuum and n is the refractive index of the medium.

Since in this problem n=1.48, we find

$v=\frac{3\cdot 10^8 m/s}{1.48}=2.03\cdot 10^8 m/s$

Witch is true according to the law of conservation of energy?

Elanso [62]

Explanation:

The law of conservation of energy is one of the fundamental laws of science that helps to understand energy in nature.

Energy is the ability to do work. There are different forms of energy.

Generally, energy is classified into potential and kinetic forms of energy. Potential energy is the energy at rest in a body. It is due to the position of the body.

Kinetic energy is the energy due to the motion of a body.

There are different forms of kinetic and potential energy and they are related by the law of conservation of energy.

The law states that "in an isolated system, energy is neither created nor destroyed by transformed from one form to another".

An isolated system is a system in which there is no exchange of matter and energy.

Due to this we know that no new energy is created or destroyed, they are only transformed from one form to the other.
