Answer:

What is most widely accepted today is a the giant-impact theory. It proposes that the Moon formed during a collision between the Earth and another small planet, about the size of Mars. The debris from this impact collected in an orbit around Earth to form the Moon.

The wavelength of red helium-neon laser light in air is 632.8 nm.(a) What is its frequency?(b) What is its wavelength in glass t

inn [45]

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

The frequency of a wave is given by:

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

where

v is the wave's speed

$\lambda$ is the wavelength

For the red laser light in this problem, we have

$v=c=3\cdot 10^8 m/s$ (speed of light)

$\lambda=632.8 nm=632.8\cdot 10^{-9} m$

Substituting,

$f=\frac{3\cdot 10^8 m/s}{632.8 \cdot 10^{-9} m}=4.74 \cdot 10^{14}Hz$

(b) 427.6 nm

The wavelength of the wave in the glass is given by

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

where

$\lambda_0 = 632.8\cdot 10^{-9} m$ is the original wavelength of the wave in air

n = 1.48 is the refractive index of glass

Substituting into the formula,

$\lambda=\frac{632.8\cdot 10^{-9}m}{1.48}=427.6\cdot 10^{-9}m=427.6 nm$

(c) $2.02\cdot 10^8 m/s$

The speed of the wave in the glass is given by

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

where

$c = 3\cdot 10^8 m/s$ is the original speed of the wave in air

n = 1.48 is the refractive index of glass

Substituting into the formula,

$v=\frac{3\cdot 10^8 m/s}{1.48}=2.02\cdot 10^8 m/s$

What relationship between the sun and earth did copernicus formulate?

Dmitrij [34]

Answer:

The astronomical model created and published by Nicholas Copernicus in the year 1543 is called Copernican heliocentrism. The model set the Sun in immobile position near the center of the solar system with Earth, as well as the other planets, spherical, epicycled and at consistent frequencies around it.

The emt must assume that any unwitnessed water-related incident is accompanied by:________

natta225 [31]

The EMT must assume that any unwitnessed water-related incident is accompanied by potential spinal damage.

<h3>What is spinal damage?</h3>

Nerves or the spinal cord in any way damaged at the end of the spinal canal.

A rapid strike or cut to the spine can cause a traumatic spinal cord damage.

Below the damage site, a spinal cord injury frequently results in a lifelong loss of strength, feeling, and function.

A lot of people with spinal cord injuries may lead productive, independent lives with the help of rehabilitation and assistive technology.
Symptom-reducing medications and spinal stabilisation surgery are used as treatments.

Herniated discs are among the common injuries and diseases of the spine. Stenosis of the lower back and Scoliosis are others.

After taking part in a rehabilitation programme, over 80% of people with incomplete spinal cord injury (SCI) can walk again.
