Answer:

The energy of one of its photons is 1.391 x 10⁻¹⁸ J

Explanation:

Given;

wavelength of the UVC light, λ = 142.9 nm = 142.9 x 10⁻⁹ m

The energy of one photon of the UVC light is given by;

E = hf

where;

h is Planck's constant = 6.626 x 10⁻³⁴ J/s

f is frequency of the light

f = c / λ

where;

c is speed of light = 3 x 10⁸ m/s

λ  is wavelength

substitute in the value of f into the main equation;

E = hf

E = \frac{hc}{\lambda} \\\\E = \frac{6.626*10^{-34} *3*10^{8}}{142.9*10^{-9}} \\\\E = 1.391*10^{-18} \ J

Therefore, the energy of one of its photons is 1.391 x 10⁻¹⁸ J

ser-zykov [4K]
We are asked to know the reason why magnetic dipole can be written as U = -m *B. The reason for this was that the negative sign is just showing or indicating the direction of the force. If it if negative, it means that the work done is opposite to the force field.

A stationary siren creates an 894 Hz
valentina_108 [34]

Answer:

12.3 m/s

Explanation:

The Doppler equation describes how sound frequency depends on relative velocities:

fr = fs (c + vr)/(c + vs),

where fr is the frequency heard by the receiver,

fs is the frequency emitted at the source,

c is the speed of sound,

vr is the velocity of the receiver,

and vs is the velocity of the source.

Note: vr is positive if the receiver is moving towards the source, negative if away.

Conversely, vs is positive if the receiver is moving away from the source, and negative if towards.

Given:

fs = 894 Hz

fr = 926 Hz

c = 343 m/s

vs = 0 m/s

Find: vr

926 = 894 (343 + vr) / (343 + 0)

vr = 12.3

The speed of the car is 12.3 m/s.
