Answer: The correct answer is " bounces off an object".

Explanation:

Reflection occurs when a wave bounces off an object.

For example, when a ray of light incidents on the surface of a plane mirror. The light gets reflected from the plane mirror because of the silver polishing on the backside of the mirror.

There are two laws of reflection:

(1) The reflected ray, the incident ray and the normal to the surface of the mirror are all lie in the same plane.

(2) The angle of reflection is equal to the angle of incidence.

What is the frequency of a microwave with a wavelength of 3.52 mm?

AlekseyPX

As per the question the wavelength of the microwave is given as 3.52 mm.

we are asked to calculate the frequency of the wave.

we know that microwave is a electromagnetic wave.

As per Clark Maxwell's electromagnetic theory ,every electromagnetic wave moves with a velocity equal to the velocity of light in vacuum and that is equal to 3×10^8 m/s.

From the equation of the wave,we know that velocity of wave is the product of frequency and wavelength.

Mathematically wave velocity $v=f*\lambda$ where f is the frequency of the wave and $\lambda$ is the wavelength.

As per the question $\lambda=3.52 mm$

$= 3.52*10^{-3} m$

Here $v=c=3*10^{8} m/s$

Hence frequency of the wave $f=\frac{v}{\lambda}$

$=\frac{3*10^{8} }{3.52*10^{-3} } s^{-1}$

$=0.852272727272*10^{11} Hz$

Here Hertz [Hz] is the unit of frequency.

An electron in a mercury atom drops

aksik [14]

Since the electron dropped from an energy level i to the ground state by emitting a single photon, this photon has an energy of 1.41 × 10⁻¹⁸ Joules.

<h3>How to calculate the photon energy?</h3>

In order to determine the photon energy of an electron, you should apply Planck-Einstein's equation.

Mathematically, the Planck-Einstein equation can be calculated by using this formula:

E = hf

<u>Where:</u>

h is Planck constant.

f is photon frequency.

In this scenario, this photon has an energy of 1.41 × 10⁻¹⁸ Joules because the electron dropped from an energy level i to the ground state by emitting a single photon.
