Answer:

Frequency

Explanation:

The intensity of light is increased by increasing the number of photon per second, and the number of photon per second is referred to as frequency. A photon the smallest unit of light. If the frequency is increased, the number of photons per second increases hence an increase in intensity.

For a given wave IF frequency doubles the wavelength

motikmotik

Answer:

C is halved

Explanation:

The frequency and the wavelength of a wave are related by the equation:

$v=f\lambda$

where

v is the speed of the wave

f is the frequency

$\lambda$ is the wavelength

From the equation above, we see that for a given wave, if the wave is travelling in the same medium (and so, its speed is not changing), then the frequency and the wavelength are inversely proportional to each other.

Therefore, if the frequency doubles, the wavelength will halve in order to keep the speed constant:

$\lambda = \frac{v}{f}\\\lambda' = \frac{v}{f'}=\frac{v}{2f}=\frac{1}{2}(\frac{v}{f})=\frac{\lambda}{2}$

A meteoroid is moving towards a planet. It has mass m = 0.78×109 kg and speed v1 = 4.1×107 m/s at distance R1 = 2.8×107 m from t

wariber [46]

Answer:

$PE=81.755\, J$

Explanation:

Given that:

mass of meteoroid, $m=7.8\times 10^8 \,kg$

radial distance from the center of the planet, $R= 2.8\times 10^7 m$

mass of the planet, $M=4.4\times 10^{25}\, kg$

For gravitational potential energy we have:

$PE=G\frac{M.m}{R}$

substituting the respective values:

$PE=6.67\times 10^{-11}\times \frac{4.4\times 10^{25}\times 7.8\times 10^8}{2.8\times 10^7}$

$PE=81.755\, J$

Which can make 4 covalent bonds? Carbon, Silicon, or both?

grin007 [14]

Answer:

I would say both

Explanation:

Each silicon atom has four valence electrons which are shared, forming covalent bonds with the four surrounding Si atoms.

Carbon contains four electrons in its outer shell. Therefore, it can form four covalent bonds with other atoms or molecules. The simplest organic carbon molecule is methane (CH4), in which four hydrogen atoms bind to a carbon atom (Figure 1).

Olivia places her pet frog on a line to observe the frog’s motion. The line is divided into sections that measure 1 centimeter e

aalyn [17]

Answer:

Explanation:

Let the forward displacement is taken is positive, and the backward displacement is taken is negative.

first displacement = + 18 cm

second displacement = - 6 cm

third displacement = - 12 cm

net displacement = 18 - 12 - 6 = 0 cm
