1 answer:

7 0

Electromagnetic waves do not need a material medium for its movement. They all travel at the same speed in a vacuum

What is Electromagnetic waves ?

Electromagnetic waves are those that do not require a material medium for their propagation. They are transverse waves which made up of electric and magnetic waves

In a vacuum all electromagnetic waves have the same speed. That is, all types of electromagnetic waves travel at the same speed in a vacuum which is equal to 299792458 m/s

Examples are;

radio wave

infrared

ultraviolet

x - rays

Gamma ray

visible light

microwave

Therefore, in a vacuum, all electromagnetic waves have the same speed.

Suppose a light source is emitting red light at a wavelength of 700 nm and another light source is emitting ultraviolet light at

klasskru [66]

Answer:

b) twice the energy of each photon of the red light.

Explanation:

$\lambda$ = Wavelength

h = Planck's constant = $6.626\times 10^{-34}\ m^2kg/s$

c = Speed of light = $3\times 10^8\ m/s$

Energy of a photon is given by

$E=h\nu\\\Rightarrow E=h\dfrac{c}{\lambda}$

Let $\lambda_1$ = 700 nm

$\lambda_2=350\\\Rightarrow \lambda_2=\dfrac{\lambda_1}{2}$

For red light

$E_1=\dfrac{hc}{\lambda_1}$

For UV light

$E_2=\dfrac{hc}{\dfrac{\lambda_1}{2}}$

Dividing the equations

$\dfrac{E_1}{E_2}=\dfrac{\dfrac{hc}{\lambda_1}}{\dfrac{hc}{\dfrac{\lambda_1}{2}}}\\\Rightarrow \dfrac{E_1}{E_2}=\dfrac{1}{2}\\\Rightarrow E_2=2E_1$

Hence, the answer is b) twice the energy of each photon of the red light.

If you have (1 x 10⁹) cubic meters of volume, and 1/2 gram of mass
in each cubic meter, then you have

(1/2 x 10⁹) grams = (5 x 10⁸) grams = (5 x 10⁵) kilograms of mass .

On Earth, that mass weighs 4,900,000 newtons .

Explanation:

Hello there!!!

You just need to use simple formula for force and momentum, 

F= m.a

and momentum (p)= m.v

where m= mass

v= velocity.

a= acceleration .

And the solutions are in pictures. 

Hope it helps..
