The energy carried per photon of light is inversely proportional to the wavelength of the light

The "quantum of electromagnetic radiation" is called a photon. It is, thus, the tiniest and most basic particle of electromagnetic radiation. A photon is a stable particle that has no mass and no electric charge. The concept of wave-particle duality holds true for this particle.

The distance between the two crests or troughs of the light wave is known as the wavelength of light. It is represented by the greek letter lambda 'λ'

A quantity is inversely proportional if it decreases when the related quantity is increased or vice versa. For example, frequency is inversely proportional to wavelength

After the driver first notices the obstacle, the car moves uniformly for a time interval t1−t0=t before the brakes are applied.

loris [4]

Answer:

V(t1-t0)

Explanation:

Moving 'uniformly' means constant velocity (speed). the formula for constant speed motion is $V = \frac{distance}{time}$ =( change in position/ change in time)

where,

V is speed

given in the statement :

change in time = t = t1-t0

let the constant speed be ' V '

disance = X = X1-X0

applying the above mentioned formula: V = $\frac{X}{t}$

V = X/t

X = Vt

the distance X1-X0 = Vt =V(t1-t0)

Answer:

Superconducting materials can transport electrons with no resistance, and hence release no heat, sound, or other energy forms. Superconductivity occurs at a specific material's critical temperature (Tc). As temperature decreases, a superconducting material's resistance gradually decreases until it reaches critical temperature. At this point resistance drops off, often to zero, as shown in the graph at right.
