This concept is inferred from quantum mechanics. According to quantum mechanics, electrons can absorb or emit energy by a discrete amount of energy called quanta. This follows from the two contradicting theory of wave-particle theory of light. It was widely accepted already that light behaves like a wave. However, questions are still unanswered on why electromagnetic waves emit or absorb light in specific frequencies. Until Planck proposed his equation: E = hν, where E is the energy, h is called the Planck's constant and ν is the frequency.
In this equation, it signifies that increase energy is progressing at discrete amounts of frequencies and this constant is denoted by h.
Answer:
3.9 seconds
Explanation:
Use constant acceleration equation:
y = y₀ + v₀ t + ½ at²
where y is the final position,
y₀ is the initial position,
v₀ is the initial velocity,
a is the acceleration,
and t is time.
Given:
y = 0 m
y₀ = 15 m
v₀ = 15 m/s
a = -9.8 m/s²
Substituting values:
0 = 15 + 15t + ½ (-9.8) t²
0 = 15 + 15t − 4.9t²
0 = 4.9t² − 15t − 15
Solve with quadratic formula:
t = [ -b ± √(b² − 4ac) ] / 2a
t = [ 15 ± √((-15)² − 4(4.9)(-15)) ] / 2(4.9)
t = [ 15 ± √(225 + 294) ] / 9.8
t = (15 ± √519) / 9.8
t = -0.79 or 3.9
It takes 3.9 seconds for the stone to reach the bottom of the well.
The negative answer is the time it takes the stone to travel from the bottom of the well up to the top of the well.
Answer:
λ = 5.434 x 10⁻⁷ m = 543.4 nm
Explanation:
To solve this problem we can use the formula provided by Young's Double Slit experiment:
where,
λ = wavelength of light = ?
Δx = distance between adjacent bright fringes = 1.6 cm = 0.016 m
d = slit separation = 0.18 mm = 0.00018 m
L = Distance between slits and screen = 5.3 m
Therefore,
<u>λ = 5.434 x 10⁻⁷ m = 543.4 nm</u>
