Ultraviolet radiation is dangerous because it has a high enough energy to damage skin cells. What is the BEST explanation of the

relationship between wavelength and wave energy? A) Wave energy is related only to frequency, not wavelength. B) Longer wavelengths have lower frequencies but higher energy. C) The shorter the wavelength, the lower the frequency and the higher the energy. D) The shorter the wavelength, the higher the frequency and the higher the energy.

The answer is shorter the wavelength, higher the frequency and higher the energy.

<u>Explanation:</u>

The sun radiates UV energy in a wide range of wavelength, which are invisible to human eyes. The shorter the wavelength, the more energetic the radiation, and the greater the potential for harm.

The relationship between wavelength and wave energy is shorter the wavelength, higher the frequency and higher the energy.

It has a frequency ranges from 8 × 10^14 to 3 × 10^16 cycles per second, or hertz (Hz), and wavelengths id about 380 nanometers to about 10 nm.

A camera lens with focal length f = 50 mm and maximum aperture f&gt;2
Brut [27]

Answer:

The minimum distance between two points on the  object that are barely resolved is 0.26 mm

The corresponding distance between the  image points = 0.0015 m

Explanation:

Given  

focal length f = 50 mm and maximum aperture f>2

s =  9.0 m

aperture = 25 mm = 25 *10^-3 m

Sin a = 1.22 *wavelength /D  

Substituting the given values, we get –  

Sin a = 1.22 *600 *10^-9 m /25 *10^-3 m

Sin a = 2.93 * 10 ^-5 rad

Now  

Y/9.0 m = 2.93 * 10 ^-5

Y = 2.64 *10^-4 m = 0.26 mm

Y’/50 *10^-3 = 2.93 * 10 ^-5  

Y’ = 0.0015 m

You do 45.0 joules of work and 3.00 seconds how much power do you use​
Arada [10]

Answer:

15 watt

Explanation:

Power is the rate at which work is done.

This means you divide the work done with the amount of time used to perform the work.

The formula for Power is : P = W/t  where;

W= work done in J = 45

t= time in seconds = 3 sec

P= 45/ 3 = 15 watt

When the mass is removed, the length of the cable is found to be l0 = 4.66 m. After the mass is added, the length is remeasured
zaharov [31]

Answer:

\gamma=6.07*10^5\frac{N}{m^2}

Explanation:

For a linear elastic material Young's modulus is a constant that is given by:

\gamma=\frac{F/A}{\Delta L/L_0}

Here, F is the force exerted on an object under tensio, A is the area of the cross-section perpendicular to the applied force, \Delta L is the amount by which the length of the object changes and  L_0 is the original length of the object. In this case the force is the weight of the mass:

F=mg\\F=55kg(9.8\frac{m}{s^2})\\F=539N

Replacing the given values in Young's modulus formula:

\gamma=\frac{F/\pi r^2}{(L_1-L_0)/L_0}\\\gamma=\frac{539N/\pi(0.045m)^2}{(5.31m-4.66m)/4.66m}\\\gamma=6.07*10^5\frac{N}{m^2}

A potential energy function is given by U(x)=(3.00J)x+(1.00J/m2)x3. What is the force function F(x) (in newtons) that is associa
Anit [1.1K]

Answer:

F(x)=-3 N - (3N)x^2

Explanation:

The force is defined as the negative of the derivative of the potential energy:

F=-\frac{dU}{dx}

If we use the potential energy function given in this problem:

U(x)=3.00 x + 1.00 x^3

and we calculate the force, we get:

F(x)=-\frac{d}{dx}(3x+x^3)=-3-3x^2

So, the force is

F(x)=-3 N - (3N)x^2
