The line spectrum of lithium has a red line at 670.8 nm. Calculate the energy of a photon with this wavelength.

Physics

Vadim26 [7]3 years ago
5 0
First of all, we can calculate the frequency of the photon, which is related to the wavelength by the following equation:
f= \frac{c}{\lambda}
where c is the speed of light and \lambda=670.8 nm=670.8 \cdot 10^{-9} m is the photon wavelength. Substituting into the formula, we find the frequency
f= \frac{c}{\lambda}= \frac{3 \cdot 10^8 m/s}{670.8 \cdot 10^{-9} m}=4.47 \cdot 10^{14} Hz

Now we can find the energy of the photon with the following equation:
E=hf
where h is the Planck constant. Substituting numbers, we find
E=hf=(6.6 \cdot 10^{-34}Js)(4.47 \cdot 10^{14} Hz)=2.95 \cdot 10^{-19} J

A rocket of mass m is to be launched fromplanet X, which has a mass M and a radius R. What is the minimum speed that the rocket
Sunny_sXe [5.5K]

Answer:

The minimum speed = \sqrt{\frac{2GM}{R} }

Explanation:

The minimum speed that the rocket must have for it to escape into space is called its escape velocity. If the speed is not attained, the gravitational pull of the planet would pull down the rocket back to its surface. Thus the launch would not be successful.

The minimum speed can be determined by;

                      Escape velocity = \sqrt{\frac{2GM}{R} }

where: G is the universal gravitational constant, M is the mass of the planet X, and R is its radius.

If the appropriate values of the variables are substituted into the expression, the value of the minimum speed required can be determined.
