kvv77 [185]4 years ago
8 0

Option ( A) is correct.

A quantum of light is called a photon.

Light is made of these packets of energy called as photons. These photons have zero rest mass.They possess momentum and travel with the velocity of light. They are electrically neutral. The energy of the photon is given by

E= h f

E= energy of photon

h= planck's constant

f= frequency of the photon

The higher frequency photons have more energy as compared to the lower frequency photons.

Light shines through a single slit whose width is 5.6 × 10-4 m. A diffraction pattern is formed on a flat screen located 4.0 m a
Mrac [35]

Answer:

462 nm

Explanation:

Given: width of the slit, d = 5.6 × 10⁻⁴ m

Distance of the screen, D = 4.0 m

Fringe width, β = 3.3 mm = 3.3 × 10⁻³ m

First dark fringe means n =1

Wavelength of the light, λ = ?

\beta = \frac{\lambda D}{d}\\ \Rightarrow \lambda = \frac{d \beta}{D} =\frac{5.6\times 10^{-4} \times 3.3 \times 10^{-3}}{4.0} = 4.62 \times 10^{-7}m = 462 nm

Explain how you think humans have disrupted the nitrogen cycle HELP QUICK DUE APRIL 15TH ANYBODY
mina [271]

Answer:

Scientists have determined that humans are disrupting the nitrogen cycle by altering the amount of nitrogen that is stored in the biosphere. The chief culprit is fossil fuel combustion, which releases nitric oxides into the air that combine with other elements to form smog and acid rain.

A car traveling 28 mi/h accelerates uniformly for 8.9 s, covering 599 ft in this time. what was its acceleration? round your ans
almond37 [142]

Answer:

5.90 ft/s^2

Explanation:

There are mixed units in this question....convert everything to miles or feet

    and hr  to s

28 mi / hr = 41.066 ft/s

Displacement = vo t + 1/2 at^2

         599       =  41.066 (8.9)  + 1/2 a (8.9^2)

                      solve for a = ~ 5.90 ft/s^2
