What determines whether an object will scatter light or reflect light?

What is the energy range (in joules) of photons of wavelength 410 nm to 750 nm ? Express your answers using two significant figu

andreyandreev [35.5K]

Answer:

4.9 x 10^-19 J, 2.7 x 10^-19 J

Explanation:

first wavelength, λ1 = 410 nm = 410 x 10^-9 m

Second wavelength, λ2 = 750 nm = 750 x 10^-9 m

The relation between the energy and the wavelength is given by

E = h c / λ

Where, h is the Plank's constant and c be the velocity of light.

h = 6.63 x 10^-34 Js

c = 3 x 10^8 m/s

So, energy correspond to first wavelength

E1 = (6.63 x 10^-34 x 3 x 10^8) / (410 x 10^-9) = 4.85 x 10^-19 J

E1 = 4.9 x 10^-19 J

So, energy correspond to second wavelength

E2 = (6.63 x 10^-34 x 3 x 10^8) / (750 x 10^-9) = 2.652 x 10^-19 J

E2 = 2.7 x 10^-19 J

Why a small car can stop easier than an 18 wheeler while traveling at 70 mph down the interstate?

almond37 [142]

Smaller cars have less momentum than bigger cars. What’s in motion stays in motion but objects with more momentum (can be from weight or from speed but in this case it’s about weight) tend to stay in motion longer.

Suzie Spacewalker hovers in space beside a rotating space station in outer space. Both she and the center of mass of the space s

Inga [223]

Answer:

is in the earths orbit

Explanation:

for Suzie to hover in space beside the rotating space station, she and the center of mass of the space station are at relative rest which happens when space station is in Earth orbit, hence she is in the earths orbit.

What is the scientific saying/principle that explains why a hammer and a screwdriver, both made of steel, are used for different

deff fn [24]

Hammer and screwdriver perform different tasks because they are both simple machines.

A machine is simply a device that can be used to perform a task. This machine can be any physical system or device designed to perform a specific task.

The efficiency of the machine describes the easy with which each machine or tool is able to use input power to overcome a task.

Machines are designed to overcome a particular task with little effort in order to increase its efficiency.

Hammer and screwdriver, are both examples of simple machines.

Thus, Hammer and screwdriver perform different tasks because they are both simple machines.

Jack (mass 59.0 kg ) is sliding due east with speed 8.00 m/s on the surface of a frozen pond. He collides with Jill (mass 47.0 k

Phantasy [73]

Answer:

Part(A): The magnitude of Jill's final velocity is $\bf{6.59~m/s}$ .

Part(B): The direction is $\bf{42.7^{0}}$ south to east.

Explanation:

Given:

Mass of Jack, $m_{1} = 59.0~Kg$

Mass of Jill, $m_{2} = 47..0~Kg$

Initial velocity of Jack, $v_{1i} = 8.00~m/s$

Initial velocity of Jill, $v_{2i} = 0$

Final velocity of Jack, $v_{1f} 5.00~m/s$

The final angle made by Jack after collision, $\alpha = 34.0^{0}$

Consider that the final velocity of Jill be $v_{2f}$ and it makes an angle of $\beta$ with respect to east, as shown in the figure.

Conservation of momentum of the system along east direction is given by

$~~~~&& m_{1}v_{1i} + m_{2}v_{2i} = m_{1}v_{1f} \cos \alpha + m_{2}v_{2f}^{x}\\&or,& v_{2f}^{x} = \dfrac{m_{1}(v_{1i} - v_{1f} \cos \alpha)}{m_{2}}$

where, $v_{2f}^{x}$ is the component of Jill's final velocity along east. The direction of this component will be along east.

Substituting the value, we have

$v_{2f}^{x} &=& \dfrac{(59.0~Kg)(8.00~m/s - 5.00 \cos 34.0^{0}~m/s)}{47.0~Kg}\\~~~~~&=& 4.84~m/s$

Conservation of momentum of the system along north direction is given by

$~~~~&& v_{2f}^{y} + v_{1f} \sin \alpha = 0\\&or,& v_{2f}^{y} = - v_{1f} \sin \alpha = (8.00~m/s) \sin 34^{0} = 4.47~m/s$

where, $v_{2f}^{y}$ is the component of Jill's final velocity along north. The direction of this component will be along the opposite to north.

Part(A):

The magnitude of the final velocity of Jill is given by

$v_{2f} &=& \sqrt{(v_{2f}^{x})^{2} + (v_{2f}^{y})^{2}}\\~~~~~&=& 6.59~m/s$

Part(B):

The direction is given by

$\beta &=& \tan^{-1}(\dfrac{4.47~m/s}{4.84~m/s})\\~~~~&=& 42.7^{0}$
