Answer:

The wavelength of the infrared wave is <u>0.0001 m</u>.

Explanation:

Given:

Frequency of an infrared wave is, f=3.0\times 10^{12}\ Hz

We know that, infrared waves are electromagnetic waves. All electromagnetic waves travel with the same speed and their magnitude is equal to the speed of light in air.

So, speed of infrared waves coming from the Sun travels with the speed of light and thus its magnitude is given as:

v=c=3.0\times 10^8\ m/s

Where, 'v' is the speed of infrared waves and 'c' is the speed of light.

Now, we have a formula for the speed of any wave and is given as:

v=f\lambda

Where, \lambda \to \textrm{Wavelength of infrared wave}

Now, rewriting the above formula in terms of wavelength, \lambda, we get:

\lambda=\dfrac{v}{f}

Now, plug in 3.0\times 10^8 for 'v', 3.0\times 10^{12} for 'f' and solve for  \lambda. This gives,

\lambda=\frac{3.0\times 10^8}{3.0\times 10^{12}}\\\\\lambda=0.0001\ m

Therefore, the wavelength of the infrared wave is 0.0001 m.

A 1.0-m long wire is carrying a certain amount of current. The wire is placed perpendicular to a magnetic field of strength 0.20
Marysya12 [62]

For a current-carrying wire running perpendicular to a magnetic field, the magnetic force acting on the wire is given by:

F = ILB

F = magnetic force, I = current, L = wire length, B = magnetic field strength

Given values:

F = 0.60N, L = 1.0m, B = 0.20T

Plug in and solve for I:

0.60 = I(1.0)(0.20)

I = 3.0A
