How does the amount of energy in light change as the wavelength increases

Physics
1 answer:
Phoenix [80]3 years ago
5 0

Answer

we know,

E= \dfrac{hc}{\lambda}

where

E = energy  

h = planks constant

λ = wavelength

from the above equation, we can see that energy is inversely proportional to wavelength.

E\ \alpha\ \dfrac{1}{\lambda}

that is why  

Violet color light has low wavelength but the energy of  Violet light is very high whereas red light has low energy and high wavelength.

A point charge is placed at each corner of square with side leanth a. The charges all have same magnitude q. My question, What i
nexus9112 [7]

Answer:

 E = k q / a²   (1.3535) (- i ^ + j ^)

  E = k q / a²  1.914  ,      θ’= 135

Explanation:

For this exercise we will use Newton's second law where we must add as vectors

        E_total = E₁₂ i ^ + E₁₄ j ^ + E₁₃

Let's look for the value of each term

On the x axis

       E₁₂ = k q / a²

On the y axis

       E₁₄ = k q / a²

For the charge in the opposite corner we look for the distance

        d = √ (a² + a²) = a √2

let's look for the field

      E₁₃ = k q / d²

      E₁₃ = k q / 2a²

let's use trigonometry to find the two components of this field

       cos 45 = E₁₃ₓ / E₁₃

       E₁₃ₓ = E₁₃ cos 45

       

       sin 45 = E_{13y} / E₁₃

       E_{13y} = E₁₃ sin 45

       E₁₃ₓ = k q / 2a²  cos 45

       E_{13y} = k q / 2a²  sin 45

let's find each component of the electric field

X axis

      Eₓ = -E₁₂ - E₁₃ₓ

      Eₓ = - k q / a² - k q / 2a² cos 45

      Eₓ = - k q / a² (1 + cos 45/2)

      cos 45 = sin 45 = 0.707

      Eₓ = - k q / a²   (1 + 0.707 / 2)

      Eₓ = - k q / a²    (1.3535)

Y axis  

      E_y = E₁₄ + E_{13y}

       E_y = k q / a² + k q / 2a²     sin 45

       E_y = k q / a² (1 + sin 45/2)

       E_y = k q / a²       (1.3535)

we can give the results in two ways

       E = k q / a²   (1.3535) (- i ^ + j ^)

In modulus and angle form, let's use Pythagoras' theorem for the angle

       E = √ (Eₓ² + E_y²)

        E = k q / a²    1.3535 √2

        E = k q / a²     1.914

we use trigonometry for the angle

        tan θ = E_y / Eₓ

         θ = tan⁻¹  (E_y / Eₓ)

         θ = tan⁻¹ (1 / -1)

         θ = 45

in the third quadrant, if we measure the angle of the positive side of the x-axis

           θ‘= 90 + 45

           θ’= 135

The refractive index n of transparent acrylic plastic (full name Poly(methyl methacrylate)) depends on the color (wavelength) of
Novosadov [1.4K]

Answer:

The angle between the blue beam and the red beam in the acrylic block is  

 \theta _d  =0.19 ^o

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

     The  refractive index of the transparent acrylic plastic for blue light is  n_F  =  1.497

     The  wavelength of the blue light is F  =  486.1 nm  =  486.1 *10^{-9} \ m

    The  refractive index of the transparent acrylic plastic for red light is  n_C  =  1.488

       The  wavelength of the red light is C =  656.3 nm  = 656.3 *10^{-9} \  m

    The incidence angle is  i  =  45^o

Generally from Snell's law the angle of refraction of the blue light  in the acrylic block  is mathematically represented as

       r_F =  sin ^{-1}[\frac{sin(i) *  n_a }{n_F} ]

Where  n_a is the refractive index of air which have a value ofn_a =  1

So

     r_F =  sin ^{-1}[\frac{sin(45) *  1 }{ 1.497} ]

      r_F  =  28.18^o

Generally from Snell's law the angle of refraction of the red light in the acrylic block is mathematically represented as

       r_C =  sin ^{-1}[\frac{sin(i) *  n_a }{n_C} ]

Where  n_a is the refractive index of air which have a value ofn_a =  1

So

     r_C =  sin ^{-1}[\frac{sin(45) *  1 }{ 1.488} ]

      r_F  =  28.37^o

The angle between the blue beam and the red beam in the acrylic block

     \theta _d  =  r_C  - r_F

substituting values

       \theta _d  = 28.37 -  28.18

       \theta _d  =0.19 ^o

The speed of sound is 346 m/s. If a sound wave travels at a frequency of 55 Hz, what would its wavelength be?​
Korvikt [17]

Answer:

6.29 meters.

Explanation:

, where v is the speed of wave and f is the frequency of wave.

We are given that ,

The speed of sound is 346 m/s.

i..e v=346 m/s

A sound wave travels at a frequency of 55 H.

i..e f=55

the wavelength would be 6.29 meters.
