Answer:

  λ = 5940 Angstroms

Explanation:

This is an exercise of the relativistic Doppler effect

        f’= f  √((1- v / c) / (1 + v / c))

Where the speed in between the strr and the observer is positive if they move away

Let's use the relationship

         c = λ f

         f = c /λ

We replace

              c /λ’ = c /λ  √ ((1- v / c) / (1 + v / c))

              λ = λ’ √ ((1- v / c) / (1 + v / c))

Let's calculate

             v = 0.01 c

             v = 0.01 3 10⁸

             v=  3 10⁶ m / s

             λ = 6000 √ [(1- 3 10⁶/3 10⁸) / (1+ 3 10⁶/3 10⁸)]

             λ = 6000 √ [0.99 / 1.01]

             λ = 5940 Angstroms

Mila [183]
We’ve all noticed that science has been accelerating and a very fast rate resulting in what has been called information overload and more recently filter failure. There are now more researchers add more papers than ever which has led to the importance of bibliometric measures Bibliometric as a Field is a fairly new discipline but it has seen in impressive growth in years due to computation and data storage. Journal metrics can play an important role for editors. There are many different metrics

Two masses traveling at the same speed v₀ collide head on. Nothing is known about the collision other than that it is not comple
alex41 [277]

Answer:

false

Explanation:

Elastic collision: the collision is said to be elastic if the kinetic energy is conserved during the collision.

If the kinetic energy is not conserved, then the collision is not elastic.

So, here no information is given so we cant say about the type of collision.

So, it is False.

A point charge of 6.0 nC is placed at the center of a hollow spherical conductor (inner radius = 1.0 cm, outer radius = 2.0 cm)
egoroff_w [7]

Explanation:

The given data is as follows.

             q = 6.0 nC = 6 \times 10^{-9} C

         inner radius (r) = 1.0 cm = 0.01 m   (as 1 cm = 100 m)

So, there will be same charge on the inner surface as the charge enclosed with an opposite sign.

Formula to calculate the charge density is as follows.

            \sigma = \frac{q_{in}}{A} .......... (1)

Since, area of the sphere is as follows.

               A = 4 \pi r^{2} ........... (2)

Hence, substituting equation (2) in equation (1) as follows.

      \sigma = \frac{q_{in}}{4 \pi r^{2}}

                   = \frac{6 \times 10^{-9} C}{4 \times 3.14 \times (0.01)^{2}}            

                   = 0.477 \times 10^{-5}

or,               = 4.77 \mu C/m^{2}

Thus, we can conclude that the resulting charge density on the inner surface of the conducting sphere is 4.77 \mu C/m^{2}.
