The energy of a photon of light is __________ proportional to its frequency and __________ proportional to its wavelength.
1 answer:
Answer:
D) directly, inversely
Explanation:
The energy of a photon of light is directly proportional to its frequency and inversely proportional to its wavelength.
Frequency is the number of waves that passes through a point per unit of time.
Wavelength is the is the distance between successive crests or troughs on a wave.
Mathematically, frequency is related to wavelength and velocity using;
Energy = h x f
where h is the Planck's constant
f is the frequency
Since c = f ∧
where f is the frequency of the wave
∧ is the wavelength of the wave
c is the speed of light
So;
f = c/∧
Therefore;
E =
From the equation, we see an inverse relationship between E and wavelength and a direct one with frequency.

Answer:
<em>1.228 x </em><em> mm </em>

Explanation:
diameter of aluminium bar D = 40 mm
diameter of hole d = 30 mm
compressive Load F = 180 kN = 180 x N
modulus of elasticity E = 85 GN/m^2 = 85 x Pa
length of bar L = 600 mm
length of hole = 100 mm
true length of bar = 600 - 100 = 500 mm
area of the bar A = =
= 1256.8 mm^2
area of hole a = =
= 549.85 mm^2
Total contraction of the bar =
total contraction =
==> = <em>1.228 x </em>
