The frequency of a light wave is the same when the light travels in ethyl alcohol or in carbon disulfide. find the ratio of the wavelength of the light in ethyl alcohol to that in carbon disulfide. the refractive indices n of carbon disulfide and ethyl alcohol are ndisulfide = 1.632 and nalcohol = 1.362.

Consider an ordinary, helium-filled party balloon with a volume of 2.2 ft3. the lifting force on the balloon due to the outside air is the net resultant of the pressure distribution exerted on the exterior surface of the balloon. using this fact, we can derive archimedes’ principle, namely that the upward force on the balloon is equal to the weight of the air displaced by the balloon. assuming that the balloon is at sea level, where the air density is 0.002377 slug/ft3, calculate the maximum weight that can be lifted by the balloon. note: the molecular weight of air is 28.8 and that of helium is 4.

Why is rain likely when warm, moisture-laden air meets cold air? a) the lighter warm air will rise and cool down, causing condensation and rain. b) the cold air moves faster and pushes the warm air away, causing condensation and rain. c) the moisture in the warm air condenses on contact with the cold air, causing rain to fall. d) the cold air mixes with the warm air, reducing its temperature causing moisture to condense.

Ethanol has a heat of vaporization of 38.56 kj/mol and a normal boiling point of 78.4 c. what is the vapor pressure of ethanol at 14 c?
