the si unit of time is the second, which is defined as 9,192,631,770 cycles of radiation associated with a certain emission process in the cesium atom. calculate the wavelength of this radiation (to three significant figures).

Given:

Radiation emission in Cs atom = 9,192,632,770 cycles

To determine:

The wavelength of the above radiation

Explanation:

It is given that :-

1 sec equivalent to 9,192, 631, 770

Now, frequency (ν) = cycles /sec = 9,192, 631, 770/sec

Wavelength of a radiation is given as:

λ = c/ν

where c = speed of light = 3*10⁸ m/s

λ = 3*10⁸ ms⁻¹/9,192, 631, 770 s⁻¹ = 0.0326 m

Ans: Thus the wavelength of this radiation is 0.033 m

acid rain does not usually kill trees directly. instead, it is more likely to weaken the trees by damaging their leaves, limiting the nutrients available to them, or poisoning them with toxic substances slowly released from the soil. the main atmospheric pollutants that affect trees are nitrates and sulphates.
