1. Frequency: 3.23\cdot 10^{20} Hz

The energy given is the energy per mole of particles:

E=1.29\cdot 10^{11} J/mol

1 mole contains a number of Avogadro of particles, N_A, equal to

N_A=6.022\cdot 10^{23} particles

So, by setting the following proportion, we can calculate the energy of a single photon:

1.29 \cdot 10^{11} J/mol : 6.022 \cdot 10^{23} ph/mol = E_1 : 1 ph\\E_1 = \frac{(1.29\cdot 10^{11} J/mol)(1 ph)}{6.022\cdot 10^{23} ph/mol}=2.14\cdot 10^{-13} J

This is the energy of a single photon; now we can calculate its frequency by using the formula:

E_1 = hf

where

h=6.63\cdot 10^{-34} Js is the Planck's constant

f is the photon frequency

Solving for f, we find

f=\frac{E_1}{h}=\frac{2.14\cdot 10^{-13} J}{6.63\cdot 10^{-34} Js}=3.23\cdot 10^{20} Hz

2. Wavelength: 9.29\cdot 10^{-13} m

The wavelength of the photon is given by the equation:

\lambda=\frac{c}{f}

where

c=3\cdot 10^8 m/s

is the speed of the photon (the speed of light). Substituting,

\lambda=\frac{3 \cdot 10^8 m/s}{3.23\cdot 10^{20} Hz}=9.29\cdot 10^{-13} m

What is the wavelength of violet light that has a frequency of 7.5x10^14
Crank
Λ= V/f 
<span>but change it to represent the speed of light, c </span>
<span>λ= c/f </span>
<span>c = 3.00 x 10^8 m/s </span>
<span>Plug in your given info and solve for λ(wavelength) </span>
<span>λ= 3.00 x 10^8 m/s / 7.5 x 10^14 Hz
(3.00 x 10^8) / (7.5 x 10^14) = 300,000,000 / 750,000,000,000,000 = 0.0000004
Hope this helps :)

Consider the 65 N light fixture supported as in the figure. Find the tension in the supporting wires.
ASHA 777 [7]

By using Lami's theorem formula, the tension in the supporting wires is 48.6 Newtons

TENSION

  • Tension is also a force having Newton as S.I unit.
  • The tension in the wire will be the same.

This question can be solved by using either vector diagram or by using  Lami's theorem.

The sum of two given angles  = 42 + 42 = 84 degrees

The third angle = 180 - 84 = 96 degrees.

Below is the Lami's theorem formula

\frac{T}{sin\alpha } = \frac{T}{sin\beta } = \frac{W}{sinY}

Where

\alpha  = \beta = 42 + 90 = 132 degrees

Y = 96 degrees

W = 65 N

By using the formula, we have

\frac{T}{sin\alpha } =  \frac{W}{sinY}

T/sin 132 = 65/sin96

Cross multiply

T = 0.743 x 65.57

T = 48.56 N

Therefore, the tension in the supporting wires is 48.6 Newtons approximately.
