23) A high school website directs parents to not allow student access to blue laser pointers or allow the students to bring them

to school. It includes a video describing the danger inherent in the misuse of all laser pointers particularly the blue laser pointer. Why would they claim that blue laser pointers are more of a concern than red laser pointers?

Mainly because of the higher energy of blue light than red light.

In fact, light is made of photons, each one carrying an energy equal to
E=hf
where h is the Planck constant while f is the frequency of the light.
The frequency of red light is approximately 450 THz, while the frequency of blue light is about 650 Hz. Higher frequency means higher energy, so blue light is more energetic than red light and therefore it can cause more damages than red light.

A photon of red light (wavelength = 710 nm) and a ping-pong ball (mass = 2. 40 × 10^-3 kg) have the same momentum. At what speed
Paha777 [63]

The speed of the ball moving is

v = 3.94 \times 10 {}^{ - 25}m/s

what is momentum?

The momentum p of a classical object of mass m and velocity v is given by pclassical =mv.

For photons with wavelength λ,this equation does not hold.Instead, the momentum of the Photon is given by p Photon = h/λ

where,h is the planck's constant.

The momentum of the red Photon is

given:

h = 6.626 \times 10 {}^{ - 34}kgm {}^{2}/s(plancks \: constant)

λ = 700 \times 10 {}^{ - 9} m(photons \: wavelength)

p \: photons =  \frac{6.626 \times 10 {}^{ - 34}kgm {}  ^{2}/s }{700 \times 10 {}^{ - 9}m  }

= 9.47 \times 10 {}^{ - 28}kgm /s

since,the Photon and the ping-pong ball have the same momentum,we have

pball = pphotons =  \frac{6.626 \times 10 {}^{ - 34}kgm/s  }{700 \times 10 {}^{ - 9} }

pball = mv,m = 2.40 \times 10 {}^{ - 3}kg

v = 3.94 \times 10 {}^{ - 25} m/s

Therefore, if the red photon and the ping-pong ball have the same momentum, the ping-pong ball must have a speed of approximately

v = 3.94 \times 10 {}^{ - 25}m/s

Two forces, one of 100 ponds and the other 150 pounds act on the same object, at angles of 20°and 60°, respectively, withthe pos
soldi70 [24.7K]
<h2>Resultant is 235.54 pounds at an angle 44.16° to X axis.</h2>

Explanation:

Forces are 100 pound and 150 pound and angles with x axis are 20°and 60°.

That is force 1 is 100 pound with x axis at 20°

           F₁ = 100 cos 20 i  +  100 sin 20 j

           F₁ = 93.97 i  +  34.20 j          

That is force 2 is 150 pound with x axis at 60°

           F₂ = 150 cos 60 i  +  150 sin 60 j

           F₂ = 75 i  +  129.90 j  

F₁ +  F₂ =  93.97 i  +  34.20 j + 75 i  +  129.90 j

F₁ +  F₂ =  168.97 i  +  164.10 j

\texttt{Magnitude = }\sqrt{168.97^2+164.10^2}\\\\\texttt{Magnitude = }235.54pounds\\\\\texttt{Angle = }tan^{-1}\left ( \frac{164.10}{168.97}\right )\\\\\texttt{Angle = }44.16^0

Resultant is 235.54 pounds at an angle 44.16° to X axis.

What happens in a global convection cell? apex​
zysi [14]

Answer:

In a global convection cell less –dense air at the equator rises and flows towards the poles. And from pole, the dense air sinks down and flows back towards the equator.... This movement of air is also supported by the Earth's rotation known as Coriolis Effect.

An electron is released a short distance above earth's surface. a second electron directly below it exerts an electrostatic forc
slamgirl [31]

The mass of an electron is 9.109 x 10⁻³¹ kg

The weight of the electron is (mass) x (g) =  8.926 x 10⁻³⁰ Newton

The charge on an electron is -1.602 x 10⁻¹⁹ Coulomb

The repelling force between the two electrons is (K · q₁ · q₂ / r²) =

(8.98755 x 10⁹ N-m²/C²) x (1.602 x 10⁻¹⁹ C)² / D²

In order for the bottom one to just exactly hold the top one up at a distance 'D', the repelling force has to be exactly equal to the weight of the upper electron.

8.926 x 10⁻³⁰ N = (8.98755 x 10⁹ N-m²/C²)·(1.602 x 10⁻¹⁹ C)² / D²

We have to solve THAT ugly mess for ' D '.

Clean up the units first:

Cancel the C² on the right side, then divide each side by Newton:

8.926 x 10⁻³⁰ = (8.98755 x 10⁹ m²) x (1.602 x 10⁻¹⁹)² / D²

Now, let's multiply both sides by (D² x 10²⁹) :

D² x 8.926 x 10⁻¹ = (8.98755 m²) x (1.602)²

Divide each side by (0.8926):

D² = (8.98755 x 1.602²) / (0.8926)  meter²

D² = 25.84 m²

Take the square root of each side:

<em>D = 5.08 meters</em>

I am shocked, impressed, and amazed !
