What is the energy (in electron volts) of a 50 ghz (1 gigahertz = 109 hz) microwave photon?

Physics

KIM [24]3 years ago

The frequency of the microwave photon is:
f=50 GHz=50 \cdot 10^9 Hz
and its energy is given by:
E=hf
where 
h=6.6 \cdot 10^{-34}Js is the Planck constant
f is the photon frequency

By substituting the numbers into the formula, we find the photon's energy:
E=hf=(6.6 \cdot 10^{-34}Js)(50 \cdot 10^9 Hz)=3.3 \cdot 10^{-23}J

Now we want to convert it into electronvolts (eV). We know that
1 eV= 1.6 \cdot 10^{-19}J
Therefore, we should simply divide our energy by this conversion factor, and we get:
E= \frac{3.3 \cdot 10^{-23} J}{1.6 \cdot 10^{-19} J/eV}=2.1 \cdot 10^{-4}eV

A particle, whose acceleration is constant, is moving in the negative x direction at a speed of 4.91 m/s, and 12.9 s later the p
Zinaida [17]

Answer:

The particle’s velocity is -16.9 m/s.

Explanation:

Given that,

Initial velocity of particle in negative x direction= 4.91 m/s

Time = 12.9 s

Final velocity of particle in positive x direction= 7.12 m/s

Before 12.4 sec,

Velocity of particle in negative x direction= 5.32 m/s

We need to calculate the acceleration

Using equation of motion

v = u+at

a=\dfrac{v-u}{t}

Where, v = final velocity

u = initial velocity

t = time

Put the value into the equation

a=\dfrac{7.12-(-4.91)}{12.9}

a=0.933\ m/s^2

We need to calculate the initial speed of the particle

Using equation of motion again

v=u+at

u=v-at

Put the value into the formula

u=-5.321-0.933\times12.4

u=-16.9\ m/s

Hence, The particle’s velocity is -16.9 m/s.
