What gives the gem amethyst its purplish color

1 answer:

4 0

<span>Amethyst is a crystalline quartz, its colours range from light to dark purple. The purplish colour of amethyst is due to high energy radiations, such as gamma rays, from radioactive sources, the presence of trace elements and the presence of iron found in its crystal lattice. The colour cetre created by Fe4+ is a principal contributor to the colouring of amethyst.</span>

Answer:

The frequency would double.

Explanation:

Given:

Speed of wave (v) = constant.

Frequency of wave initially (f₁) = 2 Hz

Initial wavelength of the wave (λ₁) = 1 m

Final wavelength of the wave (λ₂) = 0.5 m

Final frequency of the wave (f₂) = ?

We know that the product of wavelength and frequency of the wave is equal to the speed of the wave.

Therefore, framing in equation form, we have:

Wavelength × Frequency = Speed

$\lambda\times f=v$

It is given that speed of the wave remains the same. So, the product must always be a constant.

Therefore,

$\lambda\times f=constant\ or\ \\\lambda_1\times f_1=\lambda_2\times f_2$

Now, plug in the given values and solve for 'f₂'. This gives,

$1\times 2=0.5\times f_2\\\\f_2=\frac{2}{0.5}=4\ Hz$

Therefore, the final frequency is 4 Hz which is double of the initial frequency.

f₂ = 2f₁ = 2 × 2 = 4 Hz

So, the second option is correct.

An electron in the beam of a cathod-ray tube is accelerated by a potential difference of 2.12 kV . Then it passes through a regi

son4ous [18]

Answer:

B=9.1397*10^-4 Tesla

Explanation:

To find the velocity first we put kinetic energy og electron is equal to potential energy of electron

K.E=P.E

$\frac{1}{2}*m*v^{2} =e*V$

where :

m is the mass of electron

v is the velocity

V is the potential difference

$v=\sqrt{\frac{2*e*V}{m} }$ eq 1

Radius of electron moving in magnetic field is given by:

$R=\frac{m*v}{q*B}$ eq 2

where:

m is the mass of electron

v is the velocity

q=e=charge of electron

B is the magnitude of magnetic field

Put v from eq 1 into eq 2

$R=\frac{m*\sqrt{\frac{2*e*V}{m} } }{e B}$

$B=\sqrt{\frac{2*m*V}{e*R^{2} } }$

$B=\sqrt{\frac{2*(9.31*10^{-31})*(2.12*10^{3}) }{(1.60*10^{-19})*(0.170)^{2} } }$

B=9.1397*10^-4 Tesla

What is the frequency of an ocean wave that is traveling at a speed of 45 m/s if it has a wavelength of 3 meters.

vaieri [72.5K]

Answer:

Frequency, f = 15 Hz

Explanation:

We have,

Speed of an ocean wave is 45 m/s

Wavelength of a wave is 3 m

It is required to find the frequency of an ocean wave.

Speed of a wave, $v=f\lambda$ , f = frequency of ocean wave

$f=\dfrac{v}{\lambda}\\\\f=\dfrac{45}{3}\\\\f=15\ Hz$

So, the frequency of an ocean wave is 15 Hz.

The accepted value for the acceleration due to gravity is 9.8 m/s2. What factors do you think are responsible for the difference

kakasveta [241]

It’s hard to perfectly measure the distance something travels, as well as the exact time it takes, making the results have some variation.
