A wave of infrared light has a speed of 6m/s and a wave length of 12 m. What is the frequency of this wave?

Frequency = speed / wavelength

(6 m/s) / (12 m) = 0.5 Hz.

That's not infrared light.
Infrared light waves move about 50 million times faster than that, and they're only about 0.00000007 as long as that.

A proton traveling with speed 2 × 105 m/s in the -y direction passes through a region in which there is a uniform magnetic field
stepladder [879]

Answer:

\vec{E} =  1.2\times 10^5(-i)

Explanation:

Given that

Speed ,v= 2 x 10⁵ m/s ( - y direction)

B= 0.6 T (- z direction)

The resultant force on the proton given as

\vec{F}=q.\vec{E}+ q.(\vec{v}\times \vec{B})

F= m a

For uniform motion acceleration should be zero.

F = 0

0=q.\vec{E}+ q.(\vec{v}\times \vec{B})

0=\vec{E}+ (\vec{v}\times \vec{B})

0=\vec{E}+2\times 10^5(-j) \times 0.6(-k)

\vec{E} =- 2\times 10^5(-j) \times 0.6(-k)

\vec{E} =-1.2\times 10^5(i)

\vec{E} = 1.2\times 10^5(-i)

Electric filed should be apply in the negative x direction.

Match the following:
Nadusha1986 [10]

Answer:

Statement 1 can be matched with option f (Van der waal forces)

Statement 2 can be matched with option b (Liquid crystal)

statement 3 can be matched with option e (Thermal expansion)

Statement 4 can be matched with option g (Viscosity)

Statement 5 can be matched with option b (Fractional distillation)

Statement 6 can be matched with option a (Diffusion)

Statement 7 can be matched with option d (Miscible)

Explanation:

  1. Van der waal forces are weak inter-molecular bonds found between covalent molecules e.g molecules of graphite, noble gases etc
  2. Liquid crystals are substances that behave like liquids and its molecules orientate itself like a crystal (solid). They can be referred to as LCs.
  3. Thermal expansion is a phenomenon where by matter changes in shape, volume and area due to a change in temperature.
  4. Viscosity is a term used to describe a fluid's resistance to flow. It is also used to describe the internal friction that a moving liquid experiences. Oil is more viscose than liquid water
  5. Fractional distillation is a separation technique used in separating two or more miscible liquids of close boiling points. For example petrol and diesel oil can be separated using fractional distillation. An industrial application of this technique is Fractional distillation of crude oil where crude oil is separated into its components
  6. Diffusion is the movement of dissolved particles, gases, liquid from a region of higher concentration to a region of lower concentration until there is a equal balance. This can occur when you spray a perfume in one end of a room. You will get to smell the perfume at the other end after some time. Diffusion is fastest in gas as compared to liquids and solids.
  7. Miscible is a word used to describe liquids forming a homogeneous mixture when dissolved in each other. Miscibility is factor to be considered when separating mixture.

You can, in an emergency, start a manual transmission car by putting it in neutral, letting the car roll down a hill to pick up
Anna [14]

Answer:

The hill should be not less than 0.625 m high

Explanation:

This problem can be solved by using the principle of conservation of mechanical energy. In the absence of friction, the total mechanical energy is conserved. That means that

E_m=U+K is constant, being U the potential energy and K the kinetic energy

U=mgh

K=\frac{mv^2}{2}

When the car is in the top of the hill, its speed is 0, but its height h should be enough to produce the needed speed v down the hill.

The Kinetic energy is then, zero. When the car gets enough speed we assume it is achieved at ground level, so the potential energy runs out to zero but the Kinetic is at max. So the initial potential energy is transformed into kinetic energy.

mgh=\frac{mv^2}{2}

We can solve for h:

h=\frac{v^2}{2g}=\frac{3.5^2}{2(9.8)}=0.625m

The hill should be not less than 0.625 m high
