speed (m/s)
Use this graph to answer the following questions. Round each of your answers to the nearest m/s.
Note: your answers must be within 25 m/s of the exact answers to be graded correct.
What is the most likely speed of a Ne atom in
this sample?
What higher speed is only half as likely as the
most likely speed?
What higher speed is only 10% as likely as
the most likely speed?
Consider helium and argon gases.
a.Why do helium-filled balloons rise? Justify your answer using a quantified property of helium.
b.You have probably seen how people can breathe in helium and the property you discussed in part (a) causes their voices to come out much higher than normal when they talk. What would happen to your voice if you talked after breathing in argon gas? Explain why you should never actually do this.
42.) UV radiation is utilized in a range of industrial operations as well as medical and dental treatments for a variety of purposes, including destroying bacteria, creating fluorescent effects, curing inks and resins, phototherapy, and suntanning. UV wavelengths and intensities are employed for a variety of applications. Which of the following would take place when you increase the frequency of ultraviolet light?
The wavelength of the UV radiation would increase.
The speed of the UV radiation would increase.
The wavelength of the UV radiation would be the same.
The speed of the UV radiation would be the same.
