In quantum mechanics, particularly the wave-particle theory, it states that light behaves like a wave or a particle. For the wave behavior, its movement is measured in wavelengths while the time for each wavelength is the frequency. For the particle behavior, according to Planck, the energy of the photon (light particle) is determined as

E = hc/wavelength, where h is the Planck's constant (<span>6.626 x 10-34 J-s per particle) and c is the speed of light ( 3 x 10^8m/s)

As you can see, the energy of the photon is INVERSELY PROPORTIONAL to the wavelength with the Planck's constant as the constant of proportionality.</span>

romanna [79]

Answer:

<u>Translated from Polish language:</u>

  • Coil connected in series ul = 120 resistor ur = 100 and capacitor uc = 50 Voltage with voltmeter must not be:
  • The voltmeter must not be connected in series rather it should be connected in parallel to the circuit to provide much effective results for analyzing the circuits potential difference.

While playing basketball in PE class, Logan lost his balance after making a lay-up and colliding with another student standing b
kykrilka [37]

The final velocity of the other student after the elastic collision with Logan is 6.94 m/s.

<h3>Conservation of linear momentum</h3>

The final velocity of the other student will be determined by applying the principle of conservation of linear momentum for elastic collision.

  • let u represent  initial velocity
  • let v represent final velocity

m₁u₁ + m₂u₂ = m₁v₁ + m₂v₂

Substitute the given parameters and solve for final velocity of the other stsudent.

74(7.6) + 81(0) = 74(0) + 81(v₂)

562.4 = 81v₂

v₂ = 562.4/81

v₂ = 6.94 m/s

Thus, the final velocity of the other student after the elastic collision with Logan is 6.94 m/s.

True or False: If you cut a bar magnet in half, you will get a magnet that is only a north pole and a magnet that is only a sout
nydimaria [60]

Answer: False

Explanation:

That is false. This is implying the existence of magnetic monopoles, which we do not know exist. As far as we know, magnetic monopoles don't exist and its impossible to create one. Due to Maxwell's equations, it implies that a magnetic monopole <em>should</em> exist, but we have not yet found one.

Why does time have a direction? Please give your ideas I want to see them. Brainliest f0r most effort.:)
garri49 [273]

Answer:

it's a rule like water !!!!

Explanation:

Most importantly, time appears to run forward always never backwards. in other words there's perceived arrow of time and there's thermodynamic arrow of time, and they always point in a forward direction
