There is a simple relationship between the energy for a photon of light Ephoton in units of eV (electron volts) and its waveleng

th λ in nm (nanometers) given by: Ephoton (eV) = (1240 eV nm) / (λ nm). For example, if light has a wavelength of 620 nm, then its energy Ephoton = (1240 eV nm) / (620 nm) = 2 eV. Visible light has photon energies of ~1.7 to 3 eV and wavelengths of ~400 to 750 nm (λBLUE = 475 nm, λGREEN = 510 nm, λYELLOW = 570 nm, and λRED = 650 nm).
What is the wavelength λ in nm for light with a photon energy Ephoton = 2 eV?


What is the photon energy for light with a wavelength λ = 630 nm?

In the electromagnetic spectrum, x-rays have much higher photon energies (~100 to 100,000 eV) and shorter wavelengths (~0.01 to 10 nm) than visible light. What is the photon energy for an x-ray with a wavelength λ = 6 nm?

Answer:

\lambda=620\ nm

E_p=1.9682\ eV

E_p=206.67\ eV is the photon energy of an x-ray

Explanation:

Given:

Energy of photon, E_p=2\ eV

Then according to given:

E_p=\frac{1240}{\lambda}

2=\frac{1240}{\lambda}

\lambda=620\ nm is the wavelength

Again,

Energy of photon, E_p=?

wavelength of the light, \lambda=630\ nm

E_p=\frac{1240}{630}

E_p=1.9682\ eV

<u>Now, photon energy for an x-ray:</u>

wavelength, \lambda=6\ nm

E_p=\frac{1240}{6}

E_p=206.67\ eV is the photon energy of an x-ray

10 N pushes a 10 kg crate to the right. Determine the acceleration of the crate.
oksano4ka [1.4K]
The rate of acceleration of the crate would be 1 m/s^2 because the equation for force is F=ma and when you plug in your numbers you get 10=10a so a=1

A 1200 kg car reaches the top of a 100 m high hill at A with a speed vA. What is the value of vA that will allow the car to coas
Pavel [41]

Complete question is:

A 1200 kg car reaches the top of a 100 m high hill at A with a speed vA. What is the value of vA that will allow the car to coast in neutral so as to just reach the top of the 150 m high hill at B with vB = 0 m/s. Neglect friction.

Answer:

(V_A) = 31.32 m/s

Explanation:

We are given;

car's mass, m = 1200 kg

h_A = 100 m

h_B = 150 m

v_B = 0 m/s

From law of conservation of energy,

the distance from point A to B is;

h = 150m - 100 m = 50 m

From Newton's equations of motion;

v² = u² + 2gh

Thus;

(V_B)² = (V_A)² + (-2gh)

(negative next to g because it's going against gravity)

Thus;

(V_B)² = (V_A)² - (2gh)

Plugging in the relevant values;

0² = (V_A)² - 2(9.81 × 50)

(V_A) = √981

(V_A) = 31.32 m/s

Where is there potential energy throughout the loading, cocking, and releasing if the trebuchet?
pshichka [43]

Answer:

adapted from NOVA, a team of historians, engineers, and trade experts recreate a medieval throwing machine called a trebuchet. To launch a projectile, a trebuchet utilizes the transfer of gravitational potential energy into kinetic energy. A massive counterweight at one end of a lever falls because of gravity, causing the other end of the lever to rise and release a projectile from a sling. As part of their design process, the engineers use models to help evaluate how well their designs will work.
