What is the approximate range of wavelengths for visible light?

1 answer:

7 0

We can answer the question by looking at the spectrum of the visible light, for example in this figure:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Light#/media/File:EM_spectrum.svg

We see from the figure that the lowest part of the spectrum (violet) corresponds approximately to a wavelength of 380 nm, while the highest part of the spectrum (red light) corresponds approximately to a wavelength of 750 nm.

1. A listener stands 20.0 m from a speaker that pumps out music with a power output of 100.0 W.

(1.a) The surface area being vibrated by the time the sound reaches the listener is 5,026.55 m².

(1.b) The intensity of the sound wave as it reaches the person listening is 0.02 W/m².

(1.c) The relative intensity of the sound as heard by the listener is 103 dB.

(2.a) The speed of sound if the air temperature is 15⁰C is 340.3 m/s.

(2.b) The frequency of the sound heard by the suspect is 614.3 Hz.

<h3>Surface area being vibrated</h3>

The surface area being vibrated by the time the sound reaches the listener is calculated as follows;

A = 4πr²

A = 4π x (20)²

A = 5,026.55 m²

<h3>Intensity of the sound</h3>

The intensity of the sound is calculated as follows;

I = P/A

I = (100) / (5,026.55)

I = 0.02 W/m²

<h3>Relative intensity of the sound</h3>

$B = 10log(\frac{I}{I_0} )\\\\B = 10 \times log(\frac{0.02}{10^{-12}} )\\\\B = 103 \ dB$

<h3>Speed of sound at the given temperature</h3>

$v= 331.3\sqrt{1 + \frac{T}{273} } \\\\v = 331.3\sqrt{1 + \frac{15}{273} } \\\\v = 340.3 \ m/s$

<h3>Frequency of the sound</h3>

The frequency of the sound heard is determined by applying Doppler effect.

$f_o = f_s(\frac{v \pm v_0}{v \pm v_s} )$

where;

-v₀ is velocity of the observer moving away from the source
-vs is the velocity of the source moving towards the observer
fs is the source frequency
fo is the observed frequency
v is speed of sound

$f_0 = f_s(\frac{v-v_0}{v- v_s} )$

$f_0 = 512(\frac{340.3 - 10}{340.3 - 65} )\\\\f_0 = 614.3 \ Hz$

An electric circuit can have no current when a switch is

Finger [1]

Answer:

Open

Explanation:

A switch is a part of a circuit where a connection can be made or broken. By convention, when the switch is "open", the connection is broken and current cannot pass. When the switch is "closed", the connection is complete and current can pass.
