${ \boxed {\red {\boxed {\green {\boxed {\blue {\boxed{ \bold{frequency = \frac{velocity(v)}{wavelength(λ)} }}}}}}}}}$

$\mathsf{frequency = \frac{330ms {}^{ - 1} }{15m} }$

$\purple{ \sf{frequency \: = \: 22m {}^{ - 2} } {s}^{ - 1} }$

RUDIKE [14]

Answer:

<em>d. The sail should be reflective because in this case the momentum transferred to the sail per unit area per unit time is larger than for absorbing sail, therefore the radiation pressure is larger for the reflective sail.</em>

Explanation:

Let us take the momentum of a photon unit as u

we know that the rate of change of momentum is proportional to the force exerted.

For a absorbing surface, the photon is absorbed, therefore the final momentum is zero. From this we can say that

F = (u - 0)/t = u/t

for a unit time, the force is proportional to the momentum of the wave due to its energy density. Therefore,

F = u

For a reflecting surface, the momentum of the wave strikes the sail and changes direction. Since we know that the speed of light does not change, then the force is proportional to

F = (u - (-u))/t = 2u/t

just as the we did above, it becomes

F = 2u.

From this we can see that the force for a reflective sail is twice of that for an absorbing sail, and we know that the pressure is proportional to the force for a given area. From these, we conclude that <em>the sail should be reflective because in this case the momentum transferred to the sail per unit area per unit time is larger than for absorbing sail, therefore the radiation pressure is larger for the reflective sail.</em>

Answer:

r = 0.0548 m

Explanation:

Given that,

Singly charged uranium-238 ions are accelerated through a potential difference of 2.20 kV and enter a uniform magnetic field of 1.90 T directed perpendicular to their velocities.

We need to find the radius of their circular path. The formula for the radius of path is given by :

$r=\dfrac{1}{B}\sqrt{\dfrac{2mV}{q}}$
