What is the relationship between the wavelength of a wave and its energy

Physics

Answer:

Inverse relation.

Explanation:

Let E is the energy of the wave and \lambda is its wavelength. The energy of the wave is given by :

E=\dfrac{hc}{\lambda}..............(1)

Where

h = Planck's constant

c = speed of light

\lambda = wavelength of a wave

It is clear from equation (1) that the energy is inversely proportional to the wavelength of a wave. So, there exists an inverse relationship between the energy and the wavelength of the wave.

Wavelength is the distance between two consecutive points of the wave that are in the same phase. The relationship between wavelength, frequency, and velocity of a wave is given by v = f λ where f is the frequency of the wave and λ is the wavelength.

As water across the surface of the earth it dissolves material as it travels. What property of water does this demonstrate?
iris [78.8K]

Answer:

B) Water is a solvent

Explanation:

Among many other chemicals, water can dissolve a variety of substances. The solvent properties of chemicals are far beyond it. That property makes water a universal solvent.

Water has one atom of oxygen and two atoms of hydrogen.

One side of the water molecule is positively charged and the other side is negatively charged. This property attracts other substances like salt and disintegrates into positive and negatively charged ions. This property is due to its physical and chemical nature.

7) T F If two forces of equal magnitude act on an object that is hinged at a pivot, the force acting farther from the pivot must
saul85 [17]

Answer:

False

Explanation:

The torque exerted by a force is given by:

\tau=Fd sin \theta

where

F is the magnitude of the force

d is the distance between the point of application of the force and the pivot

\theta is the angle between the directions of F and d

We see that the magnitude of the torque depends on 3 factors. In this problem, we have 2 forces of equal magnitude (so, equal F). Moreover, one of the forces (let's call it force 1) acts farther from the pivot than force 2, so we have

d_1 > d_2

However, this does not mean that force 1 produces a greater torque. In fact, it also depends on the angle at which the force is applied. For instance, if the first force is applied parallel to d, then we have

\theta_1 =0\\sin \theta=0

and the torque produced by this force would be zero.

So, the statement is false.

two identical small charged spheres are a certain distance apart, and each one initially experiences an electrostatic force of m
alexdok [17]
The electrostatic force is directly proportional to the product of the charges, by Coulomb's law.

F α Qq

If the charges are now half the initial charges: 

<span>F α (1/2)Q *(1/2)q
</span>
F α (1/4)Q<span>q

The new force when the charges are each halved is (1/4) the first initial force experienced at full charge.</span>
