The energy of a photon is E=\frac{hc}{\lambda}E = h c λ where c is the speed of light and h is a constant known as Planck's cons

tant. If a red photon has twice the wavelength of a violet photon, then the energy of the red photon is the energy of the violet photon. This shows that short-wavelength photons carry proportionally energy than long-wavelength photons.

Answer: As a red photon has a twice of the wavelegth to the violet photon then the red photon has half energy of the violet photon.

Explanation: In order to explain the above statement we have to consider the Plack postulate where the energy of photons depend directely of the frequency . As the wavelength and frequency are related by :

c= λ*υ c is the speed of light,  λ is the wavelength and υ the frequency of the photon

so the energy of  photons are inversely proportional to the wavelength.

As a consequence twice wavelengtht means half energy for the photon.

Calculate the speed of a bike rider who accelerates (from rest) for 5 seconds down a hill at an acceleration of 8
olya-2409 [2.1K]

Answer:

speed=abs(v)=40ms^-1

Explanation:

acceleration, a = (v-u)/t

since initial velocity u=0 (at rest) and a=8ms^-2,

8=v/5

hence after 5 seconds, v=40ms^-1

Please help !!
ExtremeBDS [4]

Answer:

Just as the angles of the sun, moon and Earth affect tidal heights over the course of a lunar month, so do their distances to one another. Because the moon follows an elliptical path around the Earth, the distance between them varies by about 31,000 miles over the course of a month.

Hope this helped, have a nice rest of your day!

If a certain mass of mercury has a volume of 0.002 m3 at a temperature of 20°C, what will be the volume at 50°C?
Natalka [10]
By using the combined gas law which says that P1V1/T1 = P2V2/T2, assuming constant pressure, the volume at the required temperature can be obtained.((0.002 m3)(50+273.15))/(20+273.15) = volume 2 at 50 degrees C.
This gives the answer 0.0022048 m3
