The correct answer to the question is : B) Generator.

EXPLANATION:

As per the question, the mechanical energy is converted into electrical energy.

All the power plants like thermal power plant, nuclear power plant and hydroelectric power plant use the same concept to produce electric energy.

Let us consider hydro power plant.

In hydro power plant, the water falling with high speed is allowed to fall on a turbine. The kinetic energy of the water rotates the turbine. The turbine is attached to a generator.

The coil of wire attached to it is rotated through a magnetic field and electricity is produced due to electromagnetic induction.

Hence, the correct answer to the question is generator which converts mechanical energy into electrical energy.

A photon detector captures a photon with an energy of 4.29 ✕ 10−19 J. What is the wavelength, in nanometers, of the photon?

serious [3.7K]

Answer : The wavelength of photon is, $4.63\times 10^{2}nm$

Explanation : Given,

Energy of photon = $4.29\times 10^{-19}J$

Formula used :

$E=h\times \nu$

As, $\nu=\frac{c}{\lambda}$

So, $E=h\times \frac{c}{\lambda}$

where,

$\nu$ = frequency of photon

h = Planck's constant = $6.626\times 10^{-34}Js$

$\lambda$ = wavelength of photon = ?

c = speed of light = $3\times 10^8m/s$

Now put all the given values in the above formula, we get:

$4.29\times 10^{-19}J=(6.626\times 10^{-34}Js)\times \frac{(3\times 10^{8}m/s)}{\lambda}$

$\lambda=4.63\times 10^{-7}m=4.63\times 10^{-7}\times 10^9nm=4.63\times 10^{2}nm$

Conversion used : $1nm=10^{-9}m$

Therefore, the wavelength of photon is, $4.63\times 10^{2}nm$
