The energy carried by a single photon of frequency f is given by:
where
is the Planck constant. In our problem, the frequency of the photon is
, and by using these numbers we can find the energy of the photon:
The equivalent resistance of n resistors in series is given by:
In our circuit, we have three resistors of
each, therefore the equivalent resistance of the circuit is
Answer:
Atomic radius decreases moving from left to right across a period.
Explanation:
When we move left to right across a period, the size of atoms generally decreases. It is because within the period the outer electrons are in same valence shell and the number of electrons and proton increases moving from left to right across the the period. It increases the effective nuclear charge resulting in the increased attraction of electron to the nucleus that causes the decreased radius of the atoms.
Answer:
Regular reflection
Explanation:
- Reflection is the phenomenon that occurs when a light wave hits the interface between two different mediums and it bounces off back into the same medium. The angle of reflection (measured between the reflected ray and the perpendicular to the interface) is equal to the angle of incidence (measured between the incident ray and the perpendicular to the interface).
There are two different types of reflection:
- Regular reflection: this occurs when the interface between the two mediums is smooth (such as in the case of the still lake), so all the parallel light waves (which have same angle of incidence) are reflected exactly with the same angle of reflection (so, they come out all with same direction)
- Diffuse reflection: this occurs when the interface between the two mediums is not smooth, so each light ray is reflected with a different angle because it hits the interface with a different angle of incidence.
Therefore, in the case of the still lake, the correct answer is regular reflection.
