Answer:

The speed of the wave is 50 m/s

Explanation:

The wave traveled through the length in 5 seconds,  the speed is the distance  that the wave travel at one second.

For know the speed we will use the following equation:

V = X/T

Where V is speed, X is distance and T is time).

From the information in the statement:, we know that 25 meters is our distance  and 5 seconds is our time .

Replacing this values in the initial equation, we get:

V = X/T

V= 25 meters/5 seconds

V= 5 meters/s econd or 5m/s

Finally, the speed of the wave is 50 m/s.

Speed
= (distance covered) / (time to cover the distance)

= (25 m) / (5.0 sec) = 5.0 m/s .

The wavelength of red helium-neon laser light in air is 632.8 nm.
e-lub [12.9K]

(a) 4.74\cdot 10^14 Hz

The frequency of an electromagnetic wave is given by:

f=\frac{c}{\lambda}

where

c=3.0\cdot 10^8 m/s is the speed of the wave in a vacuum (speed of light)

\lambda is the wavelength

In this problem, we have laser light with wavelength

\lambda=632.8 nm=6.33\cdot 10^{-7} m. Substituting into the formula, we find its frequency:

f=\frac{3.0\cdot 10^8 m/s}{6.33\cdot 10^{-7} m}=4.74\cdot 10^14 Hz

(b) 427.6 nm

The wavelength of an electromagnetic wave in a medium is given by:

\lambda=\frac{\lambda_0}{n}

where

\lambda_0 is the original wavelength in a vacuum (approximately equal to that in air)

n is the index of refraction of the medium

In this problem, we have

\lambda_0=632.8 nm

n = 1.48 (index of refraction of glass)

Substituting into the formula,

\lambda=\frac{632.8 nm}{1.48}=427.6 nm

(c) 2.03\cdot 10^8 m/s

The speed of an electromagnetic wave in a medium is

v=\frac{c}{n}

where c is the speed of light in a vacuum and n is the refractive index of the medium.

Since in this problem n=1.48, we find

v=\frac{3\cdot 10^8 m/s}{1.48}=2.03\cdot 10^8 m/s

What is the magnitude of the force, directed parallel to the ramp, that he needs to exert on the crate to get it to start moving
lions [1.4K]

Complete question is;

Jason works for a moving company. A 75 kg wooden crate is sitting on the wooden ramp of his truck; the ramp is angled at 11°.

What is the magnitude of the force, directed parallel to the ramp, that he needs to exert on the crate to get it to start moving UP the ramp?

Answer:

F = 501.5 N

Explanation:

We are given;

Mass of wooden crate; m = 75 kg

Angle of ramp; θ = 11°

Now, for the wooden crate to slide upwards, it means that the force of friction would be acting in an opposite to the slide along the inclined plane. Thus, the force will be given by;

F = mgsin θ + μmg cos θ

From online values, coefficient of friction between wooden surfaces is μ = 0.5

Thus;

F = (75 × 9.81 × sin 11) + (0.5 × 75 × 9.81 × cos 11)

F = 501.5 N
