Answer:

There is a decrease in the potential energy and a relative increase in the kinetic energy of the charge.

Explanation:

The direction of the electric field and that of the force acting on a positively charge particle is same while in case of a negative charge the force acts in the opposite to that of the electric field field.

When the negative charge moves in the direction opposite to that of the electric field then work is done on the charge and is thus positive which means the potential energy associated with the charge reduces and is stored in the vicinity of the field while there is a relative increase in the kinetic energy of the charge.

When no other force is present like that of gravity, etc, the energy remains constant thus a decrease in one form is compensated by a relative increase in the other form of energy.

Visible light falls into wavelength ranges of 400-700 nm, for which 1 m = 1 × 10 9 nm . The energy and wavelength of light are r
Paul [167]

Answer:

E = 3.54 x 10⁻¹⁹ J

Explanation:

The energy of the photon can be given in terms of its wavelength by the use of the following formula:

E = \frac{hc}{\lambda}

where,

E = energy = ?

h = Plank's Constant = 6.626 x 10⁻³⁴ Js

c = speed of light = 2.998 x 10⁸ m/s

λ =  wavelength of light = 560.6 nm = 5.606 x 10⁻⁷ m

Therefore,

E = \frac{(6.626\ x\ 10^{-34}\ Js)(3\ x\ 10^8\ m/s)}{5.606\ x\ 10^{-7}\ m}\\

<u>E = 3.54 x 10⁻¹⁹ J</u>

Using monochromatic light of 410 nm wavelength, a single thin slit forms a diffraction pattern, with the first minimum at an ang
VLD [36.1K]

Answer:

c. 307 nm

Explanation:

angular position of first dark fringe =  λ / d ,   λ is wavelength and  d is width of slit .

(40 x π ) / 180 = 410 / d

angular position of second  dark fringe =  2 x λ / d ,   λ is wavelength and  d is width of slit .

(60 x π ) / 180 = 2 x λ / d

Dividing these equations

60 / 40 =  2 x λ / 410

λ = 307.5 nm.

If the second harmonic of a certain string is 42 Hz, what is the fundamental frequency of the string?
sdas [7]
Data:
f_{2} = 42 Hz
n (Wave node)
V (Wave belly) 
L (Wave length)
<span>The number of bells is equal to the number of the harmonic emitted by the string.
</span>
f_{n} =  \frac{nV}{2L}

Wire 2 → 2º Harmonic → n = 2

f_{n} = \frac{nV}{2L}
f_{2} = \frac{2V}{2L} &#10;
2V =  f_{2} *2L
V =  \frac{ f_{2}*2L }{2}
V =  \frac{42*2L}{2}
V =  \frac{84L}{2}
V = 42L

Wire 1 → 1º Harmonic or Fundamental rope → n = 1


f_{n} = \frac{nV}{2L}
f_{1} = \frac{1V}{2L}
f_{1} =  \frac{V}{2L}

If, We have:
V = 42L
Soon:
f_{1} = \frac{V}{2L}
f_{1} = \frac{42L}{2L}
\boxed{f_{1} = 21 Hz}

Answer:

<span>The fundamental frequency of the string:
</span>21 Hz
