Answer: E=4.321(10)^{-19} J

Explanation:

The energy E of a photon is given by:

E=h\nu (1)

Where:

h=6.626(10)^{-34}\frac{m^{2}kg}{s} is the Planck constant

\nu is the frequency light

On the other hand, there is an inverse relationship between \nu  and the wavelength \lambda:

\nu=\frac{c}{\lambda} (2)

Where:

c=3(10)^{8} m/s is the speed of light

\lambda=460 nm=460(10)^{-9}m is the wavelength

Substituting (2) in (1):

E=\frac{hc}{\lambda} (3)

E=\frac{(6.626(10)^{-34}\frac{m^{2}kg}{s})(3(10)^{8} m/s)}{460(10)^{-9}m}

Finally:

E=4.321(10)^{-19} J This is the energy of a photon of blue light, in Joules.

A converging lens of focal length 20 cm is used to form a real image 1.0 m away from the lens. How far from the lens is the obje
Galina-37 [17]

Answer:

0.25 m

Explanation:

We can solve the problem by using the lens equation:

\frac{1}{f}=\frac{1}{p}+\frac{1}{q}

where

f is the focal length

p is the distance of the object from the lens

q is the distance of the image from the lens

In this problem, we have

f = +20 cm=+0.20 m (the focal length is positive for a converging lens)

q = +1.0 m (the image distance is positive for a real image)

Solving the equation for p, we find

\frac{1}{p}=\frac{1}{f}-\frac{1}{q}=\frac{1}{0.20 m}-\frac{1}{1 m}=4 m^{-1}\\p=\frac{1}{4 m^{-1}}=0.25 m
