Calculate the wavelength λ1 for gamma rays of frequency f1 = 7.20×1021 hz .

1 answer:

5 0

The relationship between wavelength $\lambda$ , frequency f and speed of light c for an electromagnetic wave is
$\lambda= \frac{c}{f}$
Using the data of the problem, we find
$\lambda= \frac{3\cdot 10^8 m/s }{7.20 \cdot 10^{21} Hz}=4.17 \cdot 10^{-14} m$

A disk of radius R = 11 cm is pulled along a frictionless surface with a force of F = 16 N by a string wrapped around the edge.A

kenny6666 [7]

Answer: 1.76 Nm

Explanation:

If the force pulls horizontally, this means that the force is tangent to the disk at any point of the string unwinding process, so the distance d is irrelevant.

In this case, the torque is directly given by the product of the force times the distance perpendicular to the center of the disk, which is just the radius, as follows:

τ = F * r = 16 N. (0.11) m = 1.76 Nm

A camera with a 50.0-mm focal length lens is being used to photograph a person standing 3.00 m away. (a) How far from the lens m

kirill [66]

a) 50.8 mm

b) The whole image (1:1)

c) It seems reasonable

Explanation:

To project the image on the film, the distance of the film from the lens must be equal to the distance of the image from the lens. This can be found by using the lens equation:

$\frac{1}{f}=\frac{1}{p}+\frac{1}{q}$

where

f is the focal length of the lens

p is the distance of the object from the lens

q is the distance of the image from the lens

In this problem:

f = 50.0 mm = 0.050 m is the focal length (positive for a convex lens)

p = 3.00 m is the distance of the person from the lens

Therefore, we can find q:

$\frac{1}{q}=\frac{1}{f}-\frac{1}{p}=\frac{1}{0.050}-\frac{1}{3.00}=19.667m^{-1}\\q=\frac{1}{19.667}=0.051 m=50.8 mm$

Here we need to find the height of the image first.

This can be done by using the magnification equation:

$\frac{y'}{y}=-\frac{q}{p}$

where:

y' is the height of the image

y = 1.75 m is the height of the real person

q = 50.8 mm = 0.0508 m is the distance of the image from the lens

p = 3.00 m is the distance of the person from the lens

Solving for y', we find:

$y'=-\frac{qy}{p}=-\frac{(0.0508)(1.75)}{3.00}=-0.0296 m=-29.6mm$

(the negative sign means the image is inverted)

Therefore, the size of the image (29.6 mm) is smaller than the size of the film (36.0 mm), so the whole image can fit into the film.

This seems reasonable: in fact, with a 50.0 mm focal length, if we try to take the picture of a person at a distance of 3.00 m, we are able to capture the whole image of the person in the photo.
