12. When the sun is farthest north or south of the equator, the even is called solstice. When it is farthest to the north, it is called summer solstice and when it farthest to the south it is called winter solstice .

13. When neither hemisphere is tilted toward nor away form the sun, it is called equinox. At this time, daylight and night time is as long as each other, or they are both 12 hours long in both hemisphere.

What is the frequency and energy per quantum (in Joules) of :

viktelen [127]

(a) f = 5.00 × 10²⁰ Hz, E = 3.32 × 10⁻¹³ J;

(b) f = 1.20 × 10¹⁰ Hz, E = 7.96 × 10⁻²⁴J.

What's the similarity between a gamma ray and a microwave?

Both gamma rays and microwave rays are electromagnetic radiations. Both travel at the speed of light at $3.00 \times 10^{8}\;\text{m}\cdot\text{s}^{-1}$ in vacuum.

$f = \dfrac{c}{\lambda}$

where

f is the frequency of the electromagnetic radiation,
c is the speed of light, and
$\lambda$ is the wavelength of the radiation.

(a)

Convert all units to standard ones.

$\lambda = 0.600\;\text{pm} = 0.600 \times 10^{-12} \;\text{m}$ .

The unit of $f$ shall also be standard.

$f = \dfrac{c}{\lambda} = \dfrac{3.00\times 10^{8}\;\text{m}\cdot\text{s}^{-1}}{0.600\times 10^{12}\;\text{m}} = 5.00 \times 10^{20}\;\text{s}^{-1}= 5.00\times 10^{20}\;\text{Hz}$ .

For each particle,

$E = h\cdot f$ ,

where

$E$ is the energy of the particle,
$h$ is the planck's constant where $h = 6.63\times 10^{-34}\;\text{J}\cdot\text{s}^{-1}$ , and
$f$ is the frequency of the particle.
