Answer:

Explanation:

Given

wavelength of emissions are

\lambda _1=589 nm

\lambda _2=589.6 nm

Energy is given by

E=\frac{hc}{\lambda }

where h=Planck's constant

x=velocity of Light

\lambda=wavelength of emission

E_1=\frac{6.626\times 10^{-34}\times 3\times 10^8}{589\times 10^{-9}}

E_1=3.374\times 10^{-19} J

E_1 in kJ/mol

E_1=203.2 kJ/mol

frequency corresponding to this emission

\nu =\frac{c}{\lambda }

\nu _1=\frac{3\times 10^8}{589\times 10^{-9}}

\nu _1=5.09\times 10^{14} Hz

Energy corresponding to \lambda _2

E_2=\frac{6.626\times 10^{-34}\times 3\times 10^8}{589.6\times 10^{-9}}

E_2=3.371\times 10^{-19} J

E_2=203.02 kJ/mol

frequency corresponding to this emission

\nu =\frac{c}{\lambda }

\nu _1=\frac{3\times 10^8}{589.6\times 10^{-9}}

\nu _1=5.088\times 10^{14} Hz

A beam of light has a wavelength of 650 nm in vacuum. (a) What is the speed of this light in a liquid whose index of refraction
Lady_Fox [76]

Answer:

The speed of this light and wavelength in a liquid are 2.04\times10^{8}\ m/s and 442 nm.

Explanation:

Given that,

Wavelength = 650 nm

Index refraction = 1.47

(a). We need to calculate the speed

Using formula of speed

n = \dfrac{c}{v}

Where, n = refraction index

c = speed of light in vacuum

v = speed of light in medium

Put the value into the formula

1.47=\dfrac{3\times10^{8}}{v}

v=\dfrac{3\times10^{8}}{1.47}

v= 2.04\times10^{8}\ m/s

(b). We need to calculate the wavelength

Using formula of wavelength

n=\dfrac{\lambda_{0}}{\lambda}

\lambda=\dfrac{\lambda_{0}}{n}

Where, \lambda_{0} = wavelength in vacuum

\lambda = wavelength in medium

Put the value into the formula

\lambda=\dfrac{650\times10^{-9}}{1.47}

\lambda=442\times10^{-9}\ m

Hence, The speed of this light and wavelength in a liquid are 2.04\times10^{8}\ m/s and 442 nm.

A ceiling fan has three blades. The moment of inertia of a blade is 0.2kgm^2. The net torque exerted on fan blades is 8Nm. Find
olchik [2.2K]

Answer:

(A) the angular acceleration of the blades is 13.33 m/s.

Explanation:

Given;

moment of inertia of a blade, I = 0.2 kgm²

net torque exerted on fan blades, ∑τ =  8Nm

Torque is given as product of moment of inertia and angular acceleration;

τ = Iα

where;

α is the angular acceleration

Since there are three blades of the ceiling fan, the net torque is given as;

∑τ = (3I)α

∑τ = 3Iα

α = ∑τ / 3I

α = (8) / (3 x 0.2)

α = 13.33 m/s

Therefore, the angular acceleration of the blades is 13.33 m/s.

Calculate the angular velocity of the neptune (orbital period of 165 earth period) in its orbit around the sun.
ludmilkaskok [199]
The correct answer is: Angular velocity =  1.208 * 10^{-9} rad/s

Explanation:
The angular velocity is given as:
ω = \frac{2\pi}{T} --- (1)

Where T = 165 * (365 days) * (24 hours/day) * (60 minutes/hour) * (60 seconds/minute) = 5203440000 s

Plug in the value in (1):
ω = \frac{2\pi}{5203440000} = 1.208 * 10^{-9} rad/s
