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

ale4655 [162]

Answer:

a.) The electric and magnetic fields are in phase with each other as they propagate through space.

Explanation:

Electromagnetic wave is a transverse wave in which magnetic field and electric field both induces each other as both changes with time

Here magnetic field induces electric field and similarly magnetic field induces electric field.

As we know that this is a transverse wave so here magnetic field and electric field lies in perpendicular planes. but they both propagate in same direction in such a wave that both fields reaches their maximum position and minimum positions simultaneously

So the correct answer is

a.) The electric and magnetic fields are in phase with each other as they propagate through space.

A motorcycle traveling at 25 m/s accelerates at a rate of 6 m/s2 for 4 seconds. What is the final speed of the motorcycle in m/s
givi [52]

Initial velocity = Vo= 25 m/s

Final velocity = V = x

Acceleration= a = 6 m/s^2

time= t = 4 seconds

Appy the equation:

V = Vo + at

Replacing:

V = 25 + 6(4) = 25 + 24 = 49 m/s
