Answer:

The wavelength is 0.14 m

Explanation:

Given that,

Frequency = 2450 Hz

Speed of sound = 343 m/s

We need to calculate the wavelength

Using formula of wavelength

v=  f\lambda

Where, v = speed of sound

f = frequency

Put the value into the formula

\lambda=\dfrac{v}{f}

\lambda=\dfrac{343}{2450}

\lambda=0.14\ m

Hence,  The wavelength is 0.14 m

Explanation:

It is given that,

Frequency of the siren, f = 2450 Hz

The speed of sound, v = 343 m/s

Here, both ambulance and the observer is stationary. The observed frequency is calculated using Doppler's effect as :

f'=\dfrac{v+v_o}{v-v_s}\times f

v_o is the velocity of observer

v_s is the velocity of source

v is the speed of sound wave

Here, v_o=v_s=0

So, f' = f

f' = 2450 Hz

Wavelength, \lambda'=\dfrac{v}{f'}

\lambda'=\dfrac{343\ m/s}{2450\ Hz}

\lambda'=0.14\ m

So, the frequency and wavelength of the observed sound is 2450 Hz and 0.14 meters. Hence, this is the required solution.

A laser pulse of duration 25 ms has a total energy of 1.4 J. The wavelength of this radiation is
SpyIntel [72]

Answer:

n = 4 x 10¹⁸ photons

Explanation:

First, we will calculate the energy of one photon in the radiation:

E = \frac{hc}{\lambda}\\\\

where,

E = Energy of one photon = ?

h = Plank's Constant = 6.625 x 10⁻³⁴ J.s

c = speed of light = 3 x 10⁸ m/s

λ = wavelength of radiation = 567 nm = 5.67 x 10⁻⁷ m

Therefore,

E = \frac{(6.625\ x\ 10^{-34}\ J.s)(3\ x\ 10^8\ m/s)}{5.67\ x\ 10^{-7}\ m}

E = 3.505 x 10⁻¹⁹ J

Now, the number of photons to make up the total energy can be calculated as follows:

Total\ Energy = nE\\1.4\ J = n(3.505\ x\ 10^{-19}\ J)\\n = \frac{1.4\ J}{3.505\ x\ 10^{-19}\ J}\\

<u>n = 4 x 10¹⁸ photons</u>
