Answer:

Explanation:

First we calculate the energy of the photon

E=(Planck constant × speed of light in vacuum)÷ wave length

E=\frac{6.626*10^{34}*2.998*10^{8}  }{638*10^{-9} } = 3.114*10^{49}

Next we find the total energy per second

total energy= 1*10^{-3}W *\frac{1JS^{-1} }{1W}  = 1*10^{-3} JS^{-1}

Next we calculate the number the photon per second

= total energy ÷ energy of 1 photon

= \frac{1*10^{-3} JS^{-1}  }{3.114*10^{49} } =  3.21*10^{-53}  \ photons/sec

Help with both questions I’ll mark brainliest
Evgen [1.6K]

Answer:

(1) A sound wave a mechanical wave because mechanical waves rely on particle interaction to transport their energy, they cannot travel through regions of space that are void of particles. Sound is a mechanical wave and cannot travel through a vacuum. These particle-to-particle, mechanical vibrations of sound conductance qualify sound waves as mechanical waves. Sound energy, or energy associated with the vibrations created by a vibrating source, requires a medium to travel, which makes sound energy a mechanical wave. The answer is(B) it travels in the medium.

(2) An ocean wave is an example of a mechanical transverse wave

The compression is the part of the compressional wave where the particles are crowded together. The rarefaction is the part of the compressional wave where the particles are spread apart. The answer is (C) Compression.
