The energy of a wave is calculated by squaring the frequency of the wave

1 answer:

5 0

If the wavelength is given, the energy can be determined by first using the waveequation (c = λ × ν) to find the frequency, then using Planck's equation to calculate energy. Use the equations above to answer the following questions. 1. Ultraviolet radiation has a frequency of 6.8 × 1015 1/s.

Therefore, that answer is false

What are (a) the energy of a photon corresponding to wavelength 6.0 nm, (b) the kinetic energy of an electron with de Broglie wa

dlinn [17]

Explanation:

Given that,

Wavelength = 6.0 nm

de Broglie wavelength = 6.0 nm

(a). We need to calculate the energy of photon

Using formula of energy

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

$E=\dfrac{6.63\times10^{-34}\times3\times10^{8}}{6.0\times10^{-9}}$

$E=3.315\times10^{-17}\ J$

(b). We need to calculate the kinetic energy of an electron

Using formula of kinetic energy

$\lambda=\dfrac{h}{\sqrt{2mE}}$

$E=\dfrac{h^2}{2m\lambda^2}$

Put the value into the formula

$E=\dfrac{(6.63\times10^{-34})^2}{2\times9.1\times10^{-31}\times(6.0\times10^{-9})^2}$

$E=6.709\times10^{-21}\ J$

(c). We need to calculate the energy of photon

Using formula of energy

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

$E=\dfrac{6.63\times10^{-34}\times3\times10^{8}}{6.0\times10^{-15}}$

$E=3.315\times10^{-11}\ J$

(d). We need to calculate the kinetic energy of an electron

Using formula of kinetic energy

$\lambda=\dfrac{h}{\sqrt{2mE}}$

$E=\dfrac{h^2}{2m\lambda^2}$

Put the value into the formula

$E=\dfrac{(6.63\times10^{-34})^2}{2\times9.1\times10^{-31}\times(6.0\times10^{-15})^2}$

$E=6.709\times10^{-9}\ J$

Hence, This is the required solution.

a volleyball is hit upward with an initial velocity of 7.5 m/s. calculate the displacement of the volleyball when its final velo

Luden [163]

Answer:

The displacement of the volleyball is 2.62 m

Explanation:

Given;

initial velocity of the volleyball, u = 7.5 m/s

final velocity of the volleyball, v = 2.2 m/s

displacement of the volleyball, d = ?

Apply the following kinematic equation;

v² = u² - 2gd

2gd = u² - v²

$d = \frac{u^{2}-v^{2} }{2g}\\\\d = \frac{7.5^{2}-2.2^{2} }{2*9.8}\\\\d = 2.62 \ m$

Therefore, the displacement of the volleyball is 2.62 m

1. An express train, traveling at 36 m/s, is accidentally sidetracked onto a local train track. The express engineer spots a loc

Colt1911 [192]

Answer:

(i) 12 seconds

(ii) 216 meters from the initial position

(iii) 132 meters from the initial position

(iv) No

Explanation:

Speed of express train =36 m/s

Speed of local train =11 m/s

The initial distance between the local train and passenger train =100 m.

Due to the application of breaks, the express train slows at the rare of $3.0 m/s^2.$

So, the acceleration of the express train, $a=-3 m/s^2$ .

(i) Let t be the time the express train takes to stop.

From the equation of motion,

v=u+at

where, v: final velocity, u: initial velocity, a: constant acceleration, t: time taken to change the speed from u to v.

In this case, v=0, u=36 m/s, $a=-3 m/s^2$

So, 0=36+(-3)t

$\Rightarrow t= 36/3=12$ seconds.

(ii) To compute the distance traveled, s, till the express train stops, using

$v^2=u^2+2as$

$\Rightarrow 0^2=36^2+2(-3)s$

$\Rightarrow s=\frac{36\times36}{6}$

$\Rightarrow s=216$ meters.

(iii) The local train is moving at a speed of 11 m/s

So, in 12 seconds, the distance, d, traveled by the local train

d= 11x12=132 meters [as distance= speed x time]

(iv) Let 0 be the reference position which is the initial position of the express train.

So, at the initial time, the position of the local train is at 100m.

After 12 seconds:

The position of the express train is at 216 m [using part (ii)]

and the position of the local train is at 100+132=232m [using part (iii)].

So, the local train is still ahead of the express train, hence the trains didn't collide.
