Answer:

While the water falls v increases and h decreases, so the kinetic energy increases and the gravitational potential energy decreases, and this happens in a way that the total energy is always the same. (If there is no friction)

Infrared waves from the sun are what make our skin feel warm on a sunny day. If an infrared wave has a frequency of 3.0 x 1012 H

djyliett [7]

Answer:

The wavelength of the infrared wave is <u>0.0001 m</u>.

Explanation:

Given:

Frequency of an infrared wave is, $f=3.0\times 10^{12}\ Hz$

We know that, infrared waves are electromagnetic waves. All electromagnetic waves travel with the same speed and their magnitude is equal to the speed of light in air.

So, speed of infrared waves coming from the Sun travels with the speed of light and thus its magnitude is given as:

$v=c=3.0\times 10^8\ m/s$

Where, 'v' is the speed of infrared waves and 'c' is the speed of light.

Now, we have a formula for the speed of any wave and is given as:

$v=f\lambda$

Where, $\lambda \to \textrm{Wavelength of infrared wave}$

Now, rewriting the above formula in terms of wavelength, $\lambda$ , we get:

$\lambda=\dfrac{v}{f}$

Now, plug in $3.0\times 10^8$ for 'v', $3.0\times 10^{12}$ for 'f' and solve for $\lambda$ . This gives,

$\lambda=\frac{3.0\times 10^8}{3.0\times 10^{12}}\\\\\lambda=0.0001\ m$

Therefore, the wavelength of the infrared wave is 0.0001 m.
