Which type of light has a shorter wavelength and higher energy than visible light?

1 answer:

8 0

In addition to visible light, radio, some infrared and a very small amount of ultraviolet radiation also reaches the Earth's surface from space. ... Infrared waves have wavelengths longer than visible and shorter than microwaves, and have frequencies which are lower than visible and higher than microwaves.

An oil film with refractive index 1.48 and thickness 290 nm is floating on water and illuminated with white light at normal inci

VikaD [51]

Answer:

572.3 nm

Explanation:

$n_{oil}$ = refractive index of the oil film = 1.48

$t_{oil}$ = thickness of the oil film = 290 nm

$\lambda$ = wavelength of the dominant color

m = order

Using the equation

$2 n_{oil} t_{oil} = (m + 0.5) \lambda$

For m = 0

$2 (1.48) (290) = (0 + 0.5) \lambda$

$\lambda$ = 1716.8 nm

For m = 1

$2 (1.48) (290) = (1 + 0.5) \lambda$

$\lambda$ = 572.3 nm

For m = 2

$2 (1.48) (290) = (2 + 0.5) \lambda$

$\lambda$ = 343.4 nm

Hence the dominant color wavelength is 572.3 nm

A 50.0 kg driver is riding at 35.0 m/s in her red sports car when she must suddenly slam on the brakes to avoid

egoroff_w [7]

Answer:

3500N

Explanation:

Given parameters:

Mass of driver = 50kg

Speed = 35m/s

Time = 0.5s

Unknown:

Average force the seat belt exerts on her = ?

Solution:

The average force the seat belt exerts on her can be deduced from Newton's second law of motion.

F = mass x acceleration

So;

F = mass x $\frac{change in velocity }{time}$

F = 50 x $\frac{35}{0.5}$ = 3500N

<span>Radio waves just like light waves can be reflected refracted and diffracted and polarized. The answer is True. </span>These characteristics are the common phenomena for electromagnetic (EM) waves, and Radio Waves are electromagnetic Waves so much so that they obey reflection, refraction, and diffraction.

Consider a container of oxygen gas at a temperature of 23°C that is 1.00 m tall. Compare the gravitational potential energy of a

Sergio039 [100]

Answer:

Yes, it is reasonable to neglect it.

Explanation:

Hello,

In this case, a single molecule of oxygen weights 32 g (diatomic oxygen) thus, the mass of kilograms is (consider Avogadro's number):

$m=1molec*\frac{1mol}{6.022x10^{23}molec} *\frac{32g}{1mol}*\frac{1kg}{1000g}=5.31x10^{-26}kg$

After that, we compute the potential energy 1.00 m above the reference point:

$U=mhg=5.31x10^{-26}kg*1.00m*9.8\frac{m}{s^2}=5.2x10^{-25}J$

Then, we compute the average kinetic energy at the specified temperature:

$K=\frac{3}{2}\frac{R}{Na}T$

Whereas $N_A$ stands for the Avogadro's number for which we have:

$K=\frac{3}{2} \frac{8.314\frac{J}{mol*K}}{6.022x10^{23}/mol}*(23+273)K\\ \\K=6.13x10^{-21}J$

In such a way, since the average kinetic energy energy is about 12000 times higher than the potential energy, it turns out reasonable to neglect the potential energy.

Regards.
