Explanation:
Electromagnetic wave Wavelength
(1) Microwave = 1 m to 1 mm = to
(2) Ultraviolet = 10 nm to 400 nm
(3) Radio waves = 1 mm to 100 km = to
(4) Infrared = 700 nm to 1 mm
(5) X-ray = 0.01 nm to 10 nm
(6) Visible = 400 nm t0 700 nm
a) In order of increasing wavelength:
: 5 < 2 < 6 < 4 < 1 < 3
b) Frequency of the electromagnetic wave given as:
= frequency
= Wavelength
c = speed of light
So, the increasing order of frequency:
: 3 < 1 < 4 < 6 < 2 < 5
c) Energy(E) of the electromagnetic wave is given by Planck's equation :
So, the increasing order of energy:
: 3 < 1 < 4 < 6 < 2 < 5
Radio active decay reactions follow first order rate kinetics.
a) The half life and decay constant for radio active decay reactions are related by the equation:
Where k is the decay constant
b) Finding out the decay constant for the decay of C-14 isotope:
c) Finding the age of the sample :
35 % of the radiocarbon is present currently.
The first order rate equation is,
t = 7923 years
Therefore, age of the sample is 7923 years.
