In your own words explain the theory of plate tectonics, how earthquakes, mountain formation are related to plate tectonics.

Which statement is best supported by the information in the chart? wave y is moving the fastest. wave x is moving the fastest. all of the waves are moving at the same speed. all of the waves have the same value of wavelengths per second.

Amoving electron has kinetic energy k1. after a net amount of work w has been done on it, the electron is moving one-quarter as fast in the opposite direction. (a) find w in terms of k1. (b) does your answer depend on the final direction of the electron's motion?

Antireflective coatings on solar cells are often made by applying a thin film of silicon nitride (sinx), which has an index of refractive of 1.2, on the top of the silicon solar cell, which has a refractive index of about 3.5. however, the sun emits radiation of various wavelengths which the solar cell absorbs, and the antireflective coating can only absolutely minimize the reflection of one of these wavelengths. the coating thickness is chosen to reduce the reflection of green/yellow light (e = 2.2 ev), which is the most intense color in the solar spectrum (shown below). which of the following coatings would minimize reflection of green/yellow light? the answer is 820 nm how? what is the angular width of the central maximum of an electron traveling at 2 x 108 m/s going through a single slit of width 1 mm.
