What is the wavelength of a radio photon from an "am" radio station that broadcasts at 1120 kilohertz?
1 answer:
The wavelength of the radio photon is 268 m.
Electromagnetic waves travel with the speed of 3×10⁸m/s in vacuum. The speed of a wave <em>c i</em>s related to its frequency<em> f</em> and wavelengthλ as follows:
Thus the wavelength is given by,
Substitute 3×10⁸m/s for <em>c</em> and 1120×10³Hz for <em>f</em>.
Thus the wavelength of the radio photon from an AM station is 268 m

This question involves the concepts of the law of conservation of energy, potential energy, and kinetic energy.
The data shown by the bar graph is "valid".
According to the law of conservation of energy, the total energy of the system must remain constant at any given point. Hence, the sum of the kinetic energy and the potential energy of the roller coaster must be constant at any given time.
Considering the bottom of the first hill:
Total Energy at 1st Hill = Kinetic Energy + Potential Energy
From the data given in the bar graph:
Total Energy at 1st Hill = 2,500,000 J + 0 J (since at the bottom potential energy is zero due to zero height)
Total Energy at 1st Hill = 2,500,000 J
Now, considering the top of the second hill:
Total Energy at 2nd Hill = Kinetic Energy + Potential Energy
From the data given in the bar graph:
Total Energy at 2nd Hill = 1,000,000 J + 1,500,000 J
Total Energy at 2nd Hill = 2,500,000 J
Hence,
Total Energy at 1st Hill = Total Energy at 2nd Hill
Therefore, the given bar graph is "valid".
