Light does not pass through some materials. What do you think happens

Physics
1 answer:
Hatshy [7]2 years ago
7 0

Answer:

When an electron is hit by a photon of light, it absorbs the quanta of energy the photon was carrying and moves to a higher energy state. One way of thinking about this higher energy state is to imagine that the electron is now moving faster, (it has just been "hit" by a rapidly moving photon)

A photon is a quantum of EM radiation. Its energy is given by E = hf and is related to the frequency f and wavelength λ of the radiation by. E=hf=hcλ(energy of a photon) E = h f = h c λ (energy of a photon) , where E is the energy of a single photon and c is the speed of light.

If you make multiple measurements of your height, you are likely to find that the results vary by nearly half an inch in either
Lisa [10]

Answer:

Height h= 1.7 m

Explanation:

Supposing we have to find height in meter.

1 feet = 0.3048 m

1 inch = 0.0254 m

Given that:

5 feet

= 5×0.3048

= 1.524 m

and 7 inch = 7×0.0254= 0.1778 m

Therefore total height of a man in meter

5 feet 7 inch = 1.5424+0.1778 =1.7 m

Height h= 1.7 m

What is the maximum angular momentum Lmax that an electron with principal quantum number n = 2 can have? Express your answer in
butalik [34]

Answer:

L_{max} = 1.414 ℏ

Given:

Principle quantum number, n = 2

Solution:

To calculate the maximum angular momentum, L_{max}, we have:

L_{max} = \sqrt {l(1 + l)}                              (1)

where,

l = azimuthal quantum number or angular momentum quantum number

Also,

n = 1 + l

2 = 1 + l

l = 1

Now,

Using the value of l = 1 in eqn (1), we get:

L_{max} = \sqrt {1(1 + 1)} = \sqrt 2

L_{max} = 1.414 ℏ

Urgent!!!!!! 20 points!!!!!!<br> how are the speed, wavelength and frequency of a wave related
zheka24 [161]

Answer:

The higher the frequency, the shorter the wavelength. Because all light waves move through a vacuum at the same speed, the number of wave crests passing by a given point in one second depends on the wavelength. Speed shows how long it takes for wavelengths to travel.
