Calculate the energy of the green light emitted, per photon, by a mercury lamp with a frequency of 5.49 × 1014 hz.

1 answer:

8 0

The energy of a photon is given by
$E=hf$
where
$h=6.6 \cdot 10^{-34} Js$ is the Planck constant
f is the frequency of the photon

In our problem, the frequency of the light is
$f=5.49 \cdot 10^{14}Hz$
therefore we can use the previous equation to calculate the energy of each photon of the green light emitted by the lamp:
$E=hf=(6.6 \cdot 10^{-34}Js)(5.49 \cdot 10^{14} Hz)=3.62 \cdot 10^{-19} J$

What will change the velocity of a periodic wave?

Georgia [21]

If it's a mechanical wave, then its speed depends on the physical characteristics of the medium.

If it's an electromagnetic wave, then its speed depends on the
electrical characteristics of the medium.

Either way, the properties of the medium determine the wave speed.
You want to change the speed ? You have to change the properties
of the medium.

A student's life was saved in an automobile accident because an airbag expanded in front of his head. If the car had not been eq

dexar [7]

Answer:

Compared to windshield the airbag exerts much lesser force

Explanation:

Impulse is defined as change in momentum of the object when it is acted upon by a force during interval of time

Impulse = Impulsive force *time

I = F*Δt

If the object should be bought to rest from certain velocity there should be change in momentum. If the duration in which the momentum is increased then there would be less force applied and hence less damage.

Airbags are used to reduce the force experience by the people when they are met with accident by extending the time required to stop the momentum.

During the collision, the passenger is carried towards the windshield and if they are stopped by collision with wind shield the force will be larger and more damage.But if they are hit with airbag then the force will be less due to increased time.

The change is momentum will be the same with or without momentum but its the time that decides the impact of force.By making it longer the force become less.

Thus compared to the windshield the airbag exerts much lesser force.
