Gamma-ray bursters are objects in the universe that emit pulses of gamma rays with high energies. The frequency of the most ener

getic bursts has been measured at around 3.0 × 1021 Hz. The speed of light is 3 × 108 m/s. What is the wavelength of these gamma rays? Answer in units of m

Wavelength and frequency are related and they are indirectly related The higher the frequency of a light, the shorter the wavelength would be. The constant of proportionality of this relation is the speed of light. We calculate as follows:
wavelength = speed of light / frequency
wavelength = 3x10^8 / 3.0x10^21
wavelength = 1x10^-13 m

A man walks along a straight path at a speed of 4 ft/s. A searchlight is located on the ground 6 ft from the path and is kept fo

BARSIC [14]

We are given that,

$\frac{dx}{dt} = 4ft/s$

We need to find $\frac{d\theta}{dt}$ when $x=8ft$

The equation that relates x and $\theta$ can be written as,

$\frac{x}{6} tan\theta$

$x = 6tan\theta$

Differentiating each side with respect to t, we get,

$\frac{dx}{dt} = \frac{dx}{d\theta} \cdot \frac{d\theta}{dt}$

$\frac{dx}{dt} = (6sec^2\theta)\cdot \frac{d\theta}{dt}$

$\frac{d\theta}{dt} = \frac{1}{6sec^2\theta} \cdot \frac{dx}{dt}$

Replacing the value of the velocity

$\frac{d\theta}{dt} = \frac{1}{6} cos^2\theta (4)^2$

$\frac{d\theta}{dt} = \frac{8}{3} cos^2\theta$

The value of $cos \theta$ could be found if we know the length of the beam. With this value the equation can be approximated to the relationship between the sides of the triangle that is being formed in order to obtain the numerical value. If this relation is known for the value of x = 6ft, the mathematical relation is obtained. I will add a numerical example (although the answer would end in the previous point) If the length of the beam was 10, then we would have to

$cos\theta = \frac{6}{10}$

$\frac{d\theta}{dt} = \frac{8}{3} (\frac{6}{10})^2$

$\frac{d\theta}{dt} = \frac{24}{25}$

8_murik_8 [283]

Answer:

3 photons

Explanation:

The energy of a photon E can be calculated using this formula:

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

Where $h$ corresponds to Plank constant (6.626070x10^-34Js), $c$ is the speed of light in the vacuum (299792458m/s) and $\lambda$ is the wavelength of the photon(in this case 800nm).

$E=\frac{hc}{\lambda}=\frac{(6.626070\times10^{-34})(299792458)}{800\times10^{-9}}=\frac{1.986445812\times10^-25}{800}=2.483057265\times10^{-19}J$

Tranform the units

$1eV=1.602176634\times10^{-19}J\\2.483057265\times10^{-19}J(\frac{1eV}{1.602176634\times10^{-19}J})=1.549802445eV$

The band Gap is 4eV, divide the band gap between the energy of the photon:

$\frac{4ev}{1.549802445eV}=2.508974118$

Rounding to the next integrer: 3.

Three photons are the minimum to equal or exceed the band gap.
