Answer:

the light emitting must be of greater wavelength

Explanation:

For this exercise we must use the Planck equation

             E = h f

And the speed of light

            c = λ f

            f = c / λ

We replace

            E = h c / λ

The wavelength of the green light is of the order of 500 nm, let's calculate the energy

          E = 6.63 10⁻³⁴  3 10⁸ /λ

          E = 1,989 10⁻²⁵ /λ

          λ = 500 nm = 500 10⁻⁹ m

          E = 1,989 10⁻²⁵ / 500 10⁻⁹

          E = 3,978 10⁻¹⁹ J

That is the energy of the transition for a transition is an intermediate state the energy must be less, this implies that the wavelength must increase. For the explicit case of a state with half of this energy

            E_{int} = E / 2

             E_{int} = 3,978 10⁻¹⁹ / 2 = 1,989 10⁻¹⁹

Let's clear and calculate

           λ = h c / E

           λ = 1,989 10⁻²⁵ / 1,989 10⁻¹⁹

           λ = 1 10⁻⁶ m

Let's reduce to nm

          λ = 1000 nm

This wavelength is in the infrared region

the light emitting must be of greater wavelength

A rug sits in a sunny place on the floor for a long time. Kiara thinks that light from the sun can cause the rug's color to fade
geniusboy [140]

Answer:

Yes! Light from the sun can affect the materials certain carpets are made out of. The usual effect being the dye in the carpet being "washed out" or "dried out" as the sun beams down on it. When this happens, the carpet will usually lose its color, causing it to fade.

Can you explain hooks law in simple words?
dedylja [7]

Answer:

The extension of a material or a spring is its increase in length when pulled. Hooke’s Law says that the extension of an elastic object is directly proportional to the force applied to it. In other words:

Temperature is a measure of how much the atoms in a substance are moving. Why is a substance hotter in the gas state than in the
dolphi86 [110]
Hey there!
In a gas state, particles have lots of energy, so they move around very rapidly, hitting each other and flowing around, that's why you see them moving so freely. Because they have so much energy, the substance is likely to be harder, as it can obtain more thermal energy, or heat.
Hope this helps!

Dafna1 [17]

The mechanical energy is lost due to friction between the two peak is 78,458.688 J

<h3>What is mechanical energy?</h3>

The mechanical energy is the sum of kinetic energy and the potential energy of an object at any instant of time.

M.E = KE +PE

Given is a roller coaster ride the total mass of a cart - with two passengers included - is 319 kg. Peak K is at 43.6 m above the ground and peak L is at 24.4 m. At location K the speed of the cart is 16.4 m/s, and at location L it is 12.4 m/s.

Total energy at peak K,

TE₁ = 1/2 mv₁² +mgh₁

Substitute the values, we get

TE₁ =  1/2 x319 x 16.4² +319 x 9.81 x 43.6

TE₁ = 179,340. 524 J

Total energy at peak L,

TE₂ = 1/2 mv₂² +mgh₂

Substitute the values, we get

TE₂ =  1/2 x319 x 12.4² +319 x 9.81 x 24.4

TE₂ = 100,881. 836 J

The mechanical energy lost is

M.E =  TE₁ -TE₂

M.E =  179,340. 524 J -  100,881. 836 J

M.E = 78,458.688 J

Thus, the mechanical energy is lost due to friction between the two peak i
