The wavelength of the incident photon is 1.19x10^{-2} nm.

What is wavelength?

The wavelength, or the distance over which the shape of a periodic wave repeats, is the spatial period in physics. It is a property of both traveling waves and standing waves, as well as other spatial wave patterns. It is the distance between two successive corresponding locations of the same phase on the wave, such as two neighboring crests, troughs, or zero crossings. The Greek letter lambda is frequently used to denote wavelength. The term wavelength is also sometimes used to describe modulated waves, their sinusoidal envelopes, or waves created by the interference of several sinusoids.

The relationship between wavelength and frequency is inverse, assuming a sinusoidal wave flowing at a constant speed.

Calculations:

The energy loss Δλ=h/m_{e} c(1-cos∅)

Conservation of momentum gives,

h_{f} =P_{e} c-hf'\\hf+hf'=P_{e} c\\hf+hf'=\sqrt{(m_{e} c^{2} } +k^{2} )-me^{2} c^{4} \\\\=\sqrt {(511+30)^{2} -(511)^{2} } \\=178keV

hf=hf'+k=hf-hf'=30keV\\

2hf=178+30\\2hf=208\\hf=104keV\\

Wavelength(λ)=\frac{hc}{104keV}=\frac{1.24keV.nm}{104keV}

Wavelength(λ)=1.19x10^{-2} nm

Calculate the mechanical advantage of a lever that has an input force of 15 N and an output force of 60 N. *
andreev551 [17]

Answer:

4

Explanation:

Mechanical Advantage is given as a ratio of the force a machines gives out to the force that it receives.

Simply put, it is the ratio of output force to input force:

MA = \frac{OF}{IF}

We are given that:

OF = 60 N

IF = 15 N

Hence, the Mechanical Advantage of the lever is:

MA = \frac{60}{15} \\\\\\MA = 4

It is a ratio so it has no unit.

How to calculate displacement in physics?
Dmitry [639]
Here ya go (: In physics, you find displacement by calculating the distance between an object’s initial position and its final position. In physics terms, you often see displacement referred to as the variable s. The official displacement formula is as follows: s = sf – si.

H e l p.. I have no idea what any of this is, what is the first step of the hydrogen fusion process
klasskru [66]
The answer to this question is the first choice. In the hydrogen fusion process, the first step involves the collision of two protons to emit an antielectron and a neutrino. Only the first choice of
                             1_1H + 1_1H →2_1H + e^+ + v + energy
reflects this process. A hydrogen ion with a mass of one and number protons of 1 means a proton.

A long solenoid, of radius a, is driven by an alternating current, so that the field inside is sinusoidal: B(t) = B0 cos(ωt) ˆz.
Alexxandr [17]

Answer:

Explanation:

Given that,

B(t) = B0 cos(ωt) • k

Radius r = a

Inner radius r' = a/2 and resistance R.

Current in the loop as a function of time I(t) =?

Magnetic flux is given as

Φ = BA

And the Area is given as

A = πr², where r = a/2

A = πa²/4

Then,

Φ = ¼ Bπa²

Φ(t) = ¼πa²Bo•Cos(ωt)

Then, the EMF is given as

ε(t) = -dΦ/dt

ε(t) = -¼πa²Bo • -ωSin(ωt)

ε(t) = ¼ωπa²Bo•Sin(ωt)

From ohms law,

ε = iR

Then, i = ε/R

I(t) = ¼ωπa²Bo•Sin(ωt) /R

This is the current induced in the loop.

The properties that change how we perceive light waves are the following:

The amplitude of the light wave changes the brightness of light relative to other light waves of the same wavelenghth.

The frequency of the light wave changes the color and the type of the light wave.
