Question

Please use the following information to answer the next two questions. Assume that you have an equation of the form A kT". If you take the log (base 10) of both sides of this equation and obtain the following straight line log equation, log-0.5 log T + 2, then: What is the value of the exponent n? a) 0.5 e) None of the above. 11. b) 2 c) 0.25 d) -0.30 What is the value of the constant k? a) 0.5 e) None of the above. 12. b) 2 c) 100 d) 0.30

Answer 1

Given equation is lambda = k T^n Apply logarithm on both sides, we get log lambda = log k + n log T And log lambda = 0.5 log T + 2 Comparing above two equations, n = 0.5 log k = 2 k = 100
