The propagation errors we can find the uncertainty of a given magnitude is the sum of the uncertainties of each magnitude.
Δm = ∑ 
Physical quantities are precise values of a variable, but all measurements have an uncertainty, in the case of direct measurements the uncertainty is equal to the precision of the given instrument.
When you have derived variables, that is, when measurements are made with different instruments, each with a different uncertainty, the way to find the uncertainty or error is used the propagation errors to use the variation of each parameter, keeping the others constant and taking the worst of the cases, all the errors add up.
If m is the calculated quantity, x_i the measured values and Δx_i the uncertainty of each value, the total uncertainty is
Δm = ∑ 
| dm / dx_i | Dx_i
for instance:
If the magnitude is a average of two magnitudes measured each with a different error
m = 
Δm = | 
| Δx₁ + | 
| Δx₂
= ½
= ½
Δm = 
Δx₁ + ½ Δx₂
Δm = Δx₁ + Δx₂
In conclusion, using the propagation errors we can find the uncertainty of a given quantity is the sum of the uncertainties of each measured quantity.

Velocity = fλ
where f is frequency in Hz, and λ is wavelength in meters.
2.04 * 10⁸ m/s = 5.09 * 10¹⁴ Hz * λ
(2.04 * 10⁸ m/s) / (5.09 * 10¹⁴ Hz ) = λ
4.007*10⁻⁷ m = λ
The wavelength of the yellow light = 4.007*10⁻⁷ m
Answer: D. the distance between the highest points of consecutive waves
Explanation:
The wavelength of a wave is defined as the <em>distance traveled by a periodic perturbation that propagates through a medium in a given time interval</em>. It is usually represented by 
and can be calculated if the frequency of the wave is known, since there is an inverse relationship between both.
In the specific case of a periodic sine wave (which is the way in which a wave is usually represented graphically) the wavelength can be determined as the distance between two consecutive maxima of the disturbance.
Therefore, the correct option is D.
<span>The centripetal force for such an arrangement can be found through the equation Fc = mv^2/r where m is the mass of the rotating object, v is that object's velocity, and r is the radius of rotation. In this case, we know that the maximum Fc that can be tolerated by the cord is 64N. Thus we set the equation up and solve for the value of v for which Fc = 64.
64 = 0.4*(v^2)/1
64/0.4 = 160 =
v^2
v = sqrt(160) = 12.65 m/s
At any speed faster than 12.65 m/s, the cord will break.</span>
D. descriptive because it makes more sense to me then all the others.
