Answer:

b) twice the energy of each photon of the red light.

Explanation:

\lambda = Wavelength

h = Planck's constant = 6.626\times 10^{-34}\ m^2kg/s

c = Speed of light = 3\times 10^8\ m/s

Energy of a photon is given by

E=h\nu\\\Rightarrow E=h\dfrac{c}{\lambda}

Let \lambda_1 = 700 nm

\lambda_2=350\\\Rightarrow \lambda_2=\dfrac{\lambda_1}{2}

For red light

E_1=\dfrac{hc}{\lambda_1}

For UV light

E_2=\dfrac{hc}{\dfrac{\lambda_1}{2}}

Dividing the equations

\dfrac{E_1}{E_2}=\dfrac{\dfrac{hc}{\lambda_1}}{\dfrac{hc}{\dfrac{\lambda_1}{2}}}\\\Rightarrow \dfrac{E_1}{E_2}=\dfrac{1}{2}\\\Rightarrow E_2=2E_1

Hence, the answer is  b) twice the energy of each photon of the red light.

Answer:

b) twice the energy of each photon of the red light.

Explanation:

Given:

wavelength of red light, \lambda_r=7\times 10^{-7}\ m

wavelength of ultraviolet light, \lambda_{uv}=3.5\times 10^{-7}\ m

We know that the energy of a photon is given as:

E=h.\nu ..............(1)

where:

h = plank's constant =6.626\times 10^{-34}\ J.s

\nu=  frequency of the wave

we have the relation:

\nu=\frac{c}{\lambda} ...................(2)

From (1) and (2) we have:

E=\frac{h.c}{\lambda}

<u>Energy of photons for ultraviolet light:</u>

E_{uv}=\frac{6.626\times 10^{-34}\times 3\times 10^8}{3.5\times 10^{-7}}

E_{uv}=5.6794\times 10^{-19}\ J

Since the energy of photons is inversely proportional to the wavelength of the light hence the photon-energy of ultraviolet light is double of the photon-energy of the red light as the wavelength of the red light is twice to that of ultraviolet light.

slader the cross section of a 5-ft long trough is an isosceles trapezoid with a 2 foot lower base, a 3-foot upper base, and an a
Ostrovityanka [42]

Answer:

0.08 ft/min

Explanation:

To get the speed at witch the water raising at a given point we need to know the area it needs to fill at that point in the trough (the longitudinal section), which is given by the height at that point.

So we need to get the lenght of the sides for a height of 1 foot. Given the geometry of the trough, one side is the depth <em>d</em> and the other (lets call it <em>l</em>) is given by:

l=\frac{3-2}{2}\,ft+2\,ft\\l=2.5\,ft

since the difference between the upper and lower base is the increase in the base and we are only at halft the height.

Now we can calculate the longitudinal section <em>A</em> at that point:

A=d\times l\\A=5\,ft \times 2.5\, ft\\A=12.5\, ft^{2}

And the raising speed <em>v </em>of the water is given by:

v=\frac{q}{A}\\v=\frac{1\, \frac{ft^3}{min}}{12.5\, ft^2}\\v=0.08\, \frac{ft}{min}

where <em>q</em> is the water flow (1 cubic foot per minute).

The magnitude of the magnetic flux through the surface of a circular plate is 5.90 10-5 T · m2 when it is placed in a region of
valkas [14]

Answer:

The strength of the magnetic field is 3.5 x 10⁻³ T

Explanation:

Given;

magnitude of the magnetic flux , Φ = 5.90 x 10⁻⁵ T·m²

angle of inclination of the field, θ = 42.0°

radius of the circular plate, r = 8.50 cm = 0.085 m

Generally magnetic flux in a uniform magnetic field is given as;

Φ = BACosθ

where;

B is the strength of the magnetic field

A is the area of the circular plate

Area of the circular plate:

A = πr²

A = π (0.085)² = 0.0227 m²

The strength of the magnetic field:

B = Φ / ACosθ

B = ( 5.90 x 10⁻⁵) / ( 0.0227 x Cos42)

B = 3.5 x 10⁻³ T

Therefore, the strength of the magnetic field is 3.5 x 10⁻³ T

A 12.0 cm object is 9.0 cm from a convex mirror that has a focal length of -4.5 cm. What is the distance of the image from the m
Rasek [7]

Answer:

- 3 cm

Explanation:

From the mirror formula;

1/f = 1/v + 1/u ; where f is the focal length, v is the image distance, and u is the object distance.

1/-4.5 = 1/9 + 1/v

1/v = -1/4.5 - 1/9

    = -1/3

Therefore;

v = -3 cm

Hence;

Image distance is - 3cm
