Answer: 6.4 x 10^14Hz

Explanation:

velocity of blue light (V) = 3.0 x 10^8m/sec

wavelength (λ) = 465 nanometers

(4.65 x 10?m)

Since 1nanometer = 1 x 10^-9 meter

465 nanometer = 4.65 x 10^-7 meters

frequency (F) = ?

Recall that the frequency of a wave is the number of cycles the wave complete in one second, and its unit is Hertz.

So, apply the formula V = F λ

3.0 x 10^8m/sec = F x 4.65 x 10^-7 meters

F = (3.0 x 10^8m/sec / 4.65 x 10^-7 meters)

F = 6.4 x 10^14Hz

Thus, the frequency of the blue light is 6.4 x 10^14Hz

What is the difference between delta and harbor?

Margarita [4]

The difference between delta and harbor is is that delta is the fourth letter of the modern greek alphabet while harbor is a sheltered expanse of water, adjacent to land, in which ships may dock or anchor, especially for loading and unloading.

A violin string is 45.0 cm long and has a mass of 0.242 g. When tightened on the neck of the violin, the distance between the pi

stiks02 [169]

Answer:

The tension is 75.22 Newtons

Explanation:

The velocity of a wave on a rope is:

$v=\sqrt{\frac{TL}{M}}$ (1)

With T the tension, L the length of the string and M its mass.

Another more general expression for the velocity of a wave is the product of the wavelength (λ) and the frequency (f) of the wave:

$v= \lambda f$ (2)

We can equate expression (1) and (2):

$\sqrt{\frac{TL}{M}}$ = $\lambda f$

Solving for T

$T= \frac{M(\lambda f)^2}{L}$ (3)

For this expression we already know M, f, and L. And indirectly we already know λ too. On a string fixed at its extremes we have standing waves ant the equation of the wavelength in function the number of the harmonic $N_{harmonic}$ is:

$\lambda_{harmonic}=\frac{2l}{N_{harmonic}}$

It's is important to note that in our case L the length of the string is different from l the distance between the pin and fret to produce a Concert A, so for the first harmonic:

$\lambda_{1}=\frac{2(0.425m)}{1}=0.85 m$

We can now find T on (3) using all the values we have:

$T= \frac{2.42\times10^{-3}(0.85* 440)^2}{0.45}$

$T=75.22 N$

Through what voltage must an αα-particle, with its charge of +2e+2e, be accelerated so that it has just enough energy to reach a

mezya [45]

Answer:5101.35v

Explanation:

Radius of gold nucleus=7.3×10-15m and a charge of +79e

Q= 79e

e=1.6×10^-19

q= +2e

The nucleus is considered as the point charge where the potential energy between the charges are

U = 1/(4×3.142×Eo)×(qQ)/r

Where r is distance between the charges and the nucleus

r=R+d

V=U/q

U= 1/(4×3.142×Eo)×Q/r

V= 1/(4×3.142×Eo)×Q/(r+d)

9.0×10^9 ×(79×10^-19)/(7.3×10^-15)+(1.5×10^-14)

V= 9.0×10^9 ×(1.264×10^-17)/(2.23×10^-14)

V= 9×10^9×(5.67×10^-14)= 5101.35v

likoan [24]

Answer:

14869817.395 m

Explanation:

$\theta$ =22 microarcsecond

λ = Wavelength = 1.3 mm

Converting to radians we get

$22\times 10^{-6}\frac{\pi}{180\times 3600}\ radians$

From Rayleigh Criterion

$\theta=1.22\frac{\lambda}{D}\\\Rightarrow D=1.22\frac{\lambda}{\theta}\\\Rightarrow D=1.22\frac{1.3\times 10^{-3}}{22\times 10^{-6}\frac{\pi}{180\times 3600}}\\\Rightarrow D=14869817.395\ m$

Diameter of the effective primary objective is 14869817.395 m

It is not possible to build one telescope with a diameter of 14869817.395 m. But, we need this type of telescope. So, astronomers use an array of radio telescopes to achieve a virtual diameter in order to observe objects that are the size of supermassive black hole's event horizon.
