(a)
The frequency of a wave is given by:
where
v is the wave's speed
is the wavelength
For the red laser light in this problem, we have
(speed of light)
Substituting,
(b) 427.6 nm
The wavelength of the wave in the glass is given by
where
is the original wavelength of the wave in air
n = 1.48 is the refractive index of glass
Substituting into the formula,
(c)
The speed of the wave in the glass is given by
where
is the original speed of the wave in air
n = 1.48 is the refractive index of glass
Substituting into the formula,
Answer:
a) 5.5×10^17 Hz
b) visible light
Explanation:
Since the wavelength of the electromagnetic radiation must be about the size of the about itself, this implies that;
λ= 5.5 × 10^-10 m
Since;
c= λ f and c= 3×10^8 ms-1
f= c/λ
f= 3×10^8/5.5 × 10^-10
f= 5.5×10^17 Hz
The electromagnetic wave is visible light
Answer:
F in the definition of potential energy is the force exerted by the force field, e.g., gravity, spring force, etc. The potential energy U is equal to the work you must do against that force to move an object from the U=0 reference point to the position r.
Explanation:
Answer:
6480 km
Explanation:
The speed of the object is
v = 7500 cm/sec
We need to convert centimetres into kilometers and seconds into days. We have:
Using these conversion factors, we find:
