Answer:
The wavelength of the wave is 1.419 cm.
Explanation:
wavelength emitted by the one micro wave = 1.41 cm
beat frequency = 170 M Hz
Let the frequency of the wave is f.
Let the frequency of the other wave is f'.
The wavelength is given by
Answer:
magnitude of the pressure on the sail in the vicinity of Earth’s Orbit=
Explanation:
The momentum of a photon is:
p = E/c
E = the photon energy
c = the speed of light.
take the time derivative (gives the force)
F = dp/dt = (dE/dt)/c
F = 2(dE/dt)/c (is doubled for complete reflection of the light)
Intensity has the units of energy per unit time per unit area
= I
then,
Force/unit area = 2I/c
magnitude of the pressure on the sail in the vicinity of Earth’s Orbit=
F=ma, so a=F/m. Thus, the more massive object accelerates more slowly, that is, the 21 kg object is three times slower than the 7 kg one (2nd variant, 7kg is 3 times faster than 21kg)
