a fixed luminous point in the night sky which is a large, remote incandescent body like the sun. or a conventional or stylized representation of a star, typically one having five or more points.
The longest wavelength of radiation used to break carbon-carbon bonds is 344 nm.
<u>Explanation:</u>
The longest wavelength of radiation can also be stated as the minimum radiation frequency required to cut carbon-carbon bond should be equal to the threshold energy of the carbon-carbon bonds.
The threshold energy will be equal to the binding energy of the carbon-carbon bonds. As it is known that carbon-carbon bonds exhibit a binding energy of 348 kJ/mole, the threshold energy to break it, is determined as followed.
First, we have to convert the energy from kJ/mol to J, i.e., energy for the carbon-carbon molecules,
As,
So,
Thus, is the longest wavelength of radiation used to break carbon-carbon bonds.
Based on the information in the question, a light year is the distance traveled light in one year. Then if the light from the star Centauri takes 4.2 years to reach the earth, then its distance from earth is 4.2 light years.
Answer:
2.62seconds
Explanation:
Speed is defined as the ratio of the distance covered by a body with respect to time.
Speed v = Distance (s)/Time (t)
For a traveling sound wave, the distance between the source of a sound and the reflector is '2S'.
Speed v = 2 × distance (S)/Time (T)
V = 2S/t
2S = vt
Given speed of the wave = 342m/s
Distance covered = 450m
t = 2S/v
t = (2×450)/343
t = 900/343
t = 2.62seconds
It will take him 2.62seconds for him to hear his own voice echo off of the wall.
