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.

xConsider the following reduction potentials: Cu2+ + 2e– Cu E° = 0.339 V Pb2+ + 2e– Pb E° = –0.130 V For a galvanic cell employi
slega [8]

Answer:

Approximately \rm 90\; kJ.

Explanation:

Cathode is where reduction takes place and anode is where oxidation takes place. The potential of a electrochemical reaction (E^{\circ}(\text{cell})) is equal to

E^{\circ}(\text{cell}) = E^{\circ}(\text{cathode}) - E^{\circ}(\text{anode}).

There are two half-reactions in this question. \rm Cu^{2+} + 2\,e^{-} \rightleftharpoons Cu and \rm Pb^{2+} + 2\,e^{-} \rightleftharpoons Pb. Either could be the cathode (while the other acts as the anode.) However, for the reaction to be spontaneous, the value of E^{\circ}(\text{cell}) should be positive.

In this case, E^{\circ}(\text{cell}) is positive only if \rm Cu^{2+} + 2\,e^{-} \rightleftharpoons Cu is the reaction takes place at the cathode. The net reaction would be

\rm Cu^{2+} + Pb \to Cu + Pb^{2+}.

Its cell potential would be equal to 0.339 - (-0.130) = \rm 0.469\; V.

The maximum amount of electrical energy possible (under standard conditions) is equal to the free energy of this reaction:

\Delta G^{\circ} = n \cdot F \cdot E^{\circ} (\text{cell}),

where

  • n is the number moles of electrons transferred for each mole of the reaction. In this case the value of n is 2 as in the half-reactions.
  • F is Faraday's Constant (approximately 96485.33212\; \rm C \cdot mol^{-1}.)

\begin{aligned}\Delta G^{\circ} &= n \cdot F \cdot E^{\circ} (\text{cell})\cr &= 2\times 96485.33212 \times (0.339 - (-0.130)) \cr &\approx 9.0 \times 10^{4} \; \rm J \cr &= 90\; \rm kJ\end{aligned}.

Starting from one oasis, a camel walks 25 km in a direction 30° south of west and then walks 30 km toward the north to a second
shepuryov [24]

Answer:

distance between both oasis ( 1 and 2) is  27.83 Km

Explanation:

let d is the distance between oasis1 and oasis 2

from figure

OC  = 25cos 30

OE = 25sin30

OE = CD

Therefore BC =  30-25sin30

distance between both oasis ( 1 and 2) is calculated by using phytogoras theorem

in\Delta BCO

OB^2 = BC^2 + OC^2

PUTTING ALL VALUE IN ABOVE EQUATION

d^2 = 930-25sin30)^2 + (25cos30)^2

d^2 = 775

d = 27.83 Km

distance between both oasis ( 1 and 2) is  27.83 Km
