The energy of a photon is directly proportional to its frequency.
The proportionality constant is Planck's constant.

Photon has no rest mass but when photon travels at the speed of light, it gains momentum.
The energy of the photon is E= pc, c = speed of the photon and p= its momentum.

∴ E = pc
   but p = h/λ (This comes from De-broglie's theory)

∴ E = hc/λ


frequency = ν = c/λ
∴E = hν

What is the longest wavelength that can be observed in the third order for a transmission grating having 5200 slits/cm?
Anarel [89]

Answer:

641 nm.

Explanation:

Given that,

A transmission grating has 5200 slits/cm.

We need to find the longest wavelength that can be observed in the third order. Using grating equation as follows :

d\sin\theta=m\lambda ...(1)

d is slit spacing

No fo slit per unit length :

N={5200}\ slit/cm\\\\=520000\ slits/m

We know that, N = 1/d

For longest wavelength, θ = 90°

From equation (1)

\dfrac{\sin\theta}{m\lambda}=\dfrac{1}{d}\\\\520000=\dfrac{\sin(90)}{3\lambda}\\\\\lambda=\dfrac{1}{520000\times 3}\\\\=6.41\times 10^{-7}\ m\\\\=641\ nm

Hence, the longest wavelength in third order for a transmission grating is 641 nm.

Solve the below problems being sure to provide the correct significant figures.
morpeh [17]


Sum of the first ten digits is:
7+3+4+5+4+1+7+8+0 = 39

39, when divided by 9 give you the remainder of 3

9 x4, is 36
36 +3 equals 39
(39 = 9 x 4 + 3)

So X= 0

What is the mirror formula for curved mirrors
Reika [66]
The mirror formula for curved mirrors is:
\frac{1}{f}= \frac{1}{d_o}+ \frac{1}{d_i}
where
f is the focal length of the mirror
d_o is the distance of the object from the mirror
d_i is the distance of the image from the mirror

The sign convention that should be used in order to find the correct values is the following:
- f: positive if the mirror is concave, negative if the mirror is convex
- d_i: positive if the image is real (located on the same side of the object), negative if it is virtual (located on the opposite side of the mirror)

A cyclist is moving at a speed of 15 m/s. If the combined mass of the bike and person is 100 kg,
MaRussiya [10]

Answer:

Explanation:

Momentum is equal to mass times velocity in kg and m/s, respectively. Therefore,

p = 100(15) so

p = 1500 \frac{kg*m}{s}

What is the source of energy in the food chain​
Aleksandr [31]

Answer:

The first source of energy in a food chain is producer.

Explanation: In the food chain, the producer will be a plant that a primary consumer, a herbivore eats. The herbivore gets eaten by a secondary consumer, carnivorous. When the carnivore dies, it becomes energy for a decomposer.
