What is the relationship between wavelength of light and the quantity of energy per photon?

Answer:

It is an inverse relationship

Explanation:

The energy of a photon is given by

e = hc/λ

Where e= energy of the photon, where c =velocity of light, h=Planck's constant and λ =wavelength of light

In this formula the energy is the numerator and the wavelength is the denominator. It can be written as

e= 1/λ .

This means for every increase in energy of photon there will be a decrease in wavelength and for every decrease in energy of the photon there will be an increase in the wavelength.

Answer:

The quantity of energy per photon is inversely proportional to the wavelength of the light.

Explanation:

Energy of light is given as

E = hf

where E = energy of the photons,

f = frequency of the light

If the number of photons = n

(E/n) = (h/n) f

Let (E/n) = E'

(h/n) = h'

But the frequency of light is related to wavelength through the relation

v = fλ

where v = speed of light = c

λ = wavelength of light

f = (c/λ)

E' = h' f

Substituting for f

E' = h' (c/λ)

h' and c are both constants, h'×c = K

E' = (K/λ)

So, the quantity of energy per photon is inversely proportional to the wavelength of the light.

Hope this Helps!!!

Two or more velocities add by ____?<br><br> Plz help

By vector addition.
In fact, velocity is a vector, with a magnitude intensity, a direction and a verse, so we can't simply do an algebraic sum of the two (or more velocities). 
First we need to decompose each velocity on both x- and y-axis (if we are on a 2D-plane), then we should do the algebraic sum of all the components on the x- axis and of all the components on the y-axis, to find the resultants on x- and y-axis. And finally, the magnitude of the resultant will be given by
R= \sqrt{(R_x)^2+(R_y)^2}
where Rx and Rx are the resultants on x- and y-axis. The direction of the resultant will be given by
\tan \alpha =  \frac{R_y}{R_x}
where \alpha is its direction with respect to the x-axis.

Inga [223]

Answer:

is in the earths orbit

Explanation:

for Suzie to hover in space beside the rotating space station, she and the center  of mass of the space station are at relative rest which happens when space station is in Earth orbit, hence she is  in the earths orbit.

A train starts at rest in a station and accelerates at a constant 0.987 m/s2 for 182 seconds. Then the train decelerates at a co
algol [13]

Answer:

\displaystyle X_T=66.6\ km

Explanation:

<u>Accelerated Motion </u>

When a body changes its speed at a constant rate, i.e. same changes take same times, then it has a constant acceleration. The acceleration can be positive or negative. In the first case, the speed increases, and in the second time, the speed lowers until it eventually stops. The equation for the speed vf at any time t is given by

\displaystyle V_f=V_o+a\ t

where a is the acceleration, and vo is the initial speed .

The train has two different types of motion. It first starts from rest and has a constant acceleration of 0.987 m/s^2 for 182 seconds. Then it brakes with a constant acceleration of -0.321 m/s^2 until it comes to a stop. We need to find the total distance traveled.

The equation for the distance is

\displaystyle X=V_o\ t+\frac{a\ t^2}{2}

Our data is

\displaystyle V_o=0,a=0.987m/s^2,\ t=182\ sec

Let's compute the first distance X1

\displaystyle X_1=0+\frac{0.987\times 182^2}{2}

\displaystyle X_1=16,346.7\ m

Now, we find the speed at the end of the first period of time

\displaystyle V_{f1}=0+0.987\times 182

\displaystyle V_{f1}=179.6\ m/s

That is the speed the train is at the moment it starts to brake. We need to compute the time needed to stop the train, that is, to make vf=0

\displaystyle V_o=179.6,a=-0.321\ m/s^2\ ,V_f=0

\displaystyle t=\frac{v_f-v_o}{a}=\frac{0-179.6}{-0.321}

\displaystyle t=559.5\ sec

Computing the second distance

\displaystyle X_2=179.6\times559.5\ \frac{-0.321\times 559.5^2}{2}

\displaystyle X_2=50,243.2\ m

The total distance is

\displaystyle X_t=x_1+x_2=16,346.7+50,243.2

\displaystyle X_t=66,589.9\ m

\displaystyle \boxed{X_T=66.6\ km}
