Answer:
22,800 years
Explanation:
Half life equation:
A = A₀ (½)^(t / T)
where A is the final amount,
A₀ is the initial amount,
t is time,
and T is the half life.
0.0625 = (½)^(t / 5700)
log 0.0625 = (t / 5700) log 0.5
4 = t / 5700
t = 22,800
It takes 22,800 years.
Answer:
When an electron is hit by a photon of light, it absorbs the quanta of energy the photon was carrying and moves to a higher energy state. One way of thinking about this higher energy state is to imagine that the electron is now moving faster, (it has just been "hit" by a rapidly moving photon)
A photon is a quantum of EM radiation. Its energy is given by E = hf and is related to the frequency f and wavelength λ of the radiation by. E=hf=hcλ(energy of a photon) E = h f = h c λ (energy of a photon) , where E is the energy of a single photon and c is the speed of light.
Explanation:
speed of wave
v = wavelength x frequency
since frequency is f = 1/Period then
v = wavelength : Period
v = 10 cm/ 0.2 s = 50 cm/s
v = 0.5 m/s
