The energy of a wave will remain constant if the wavelength is doubled and the speed is also doubled.

Option D

<u>Explanation:</u>

Based on the dual nature of waves, Planck's equation states that the energy of the wave is directly proportional to the frequency of the wave. The Planck constant is termed as the proportionality constant.

So, E = hv

It is known that frequency is the ratio of speed of light to wavelength of wave, so the energy equation can be written as

E = \frac{hc}{lambda}

Thus, energy is inversely proportional to the wavelength of wave and directly proportional to the speed of wave. So in order to keep the energy constant, both the wavelength and the speed should be doubled as shown below.

Let  c = 2c and λ = 2λ, then the new energy will be

E'=\frac{hc}{lambda}

Since, c = 2c and lambda = 2 lambda, E' = 2hc/2lambda = E

So the wavelength is doubled and the speed is also doubled to keep the energy of the wave constant.

A sample of gas (1.9 mol) is in a flask at 21 °c and 697 mm hg. the flask is opened and more gas is added to the flask. the new
garik1379 [7]

To solve this problem, we assume ideal gas so that we can use the formula:

PV = nRT

since the volume of the flask is constant and R is universal gas constant, so we can say:

n1 T1 / P1 = n2 T2 / P2

 

1.9 mol * (21 + 273 K) / 697 mm Hg = n2 * (26 + 273 K) / 841 mm Hg
