The wavelength of light (ʎ) and the frequency (f) has the following relationship:

ʎ = c / f

where c is the speed of light, therefore:

ʎ = (3 x 10^8 m/s ) / 6.44 × 10^13 s-1

ʎ = 4.66 x 10^-6 m = 4.66 x 10^3 nm

The wavelength of the light having a frequency of $6.44\times{10^{13}}\,{\text{Hz}}$ is $\boxed{4.66\times{{10}^{-6}}\,{\text{m}}}$ or $\boxed{466\,{\text{nm}}}$ .

Further Explanation:

The light waves are the electromagnetic waves which can travel either in space or in medium. The electromagnetic waves are the transverse waves.

In transverse waves, the oscillation of the medium particle is perpendicular to the direction of propagation of the wave.

All the electromagnetic waves having different frequencies and wavelength are considered to move at the speed of light. The speed of the light moving through the space or air is $3\times{10^8}\,{{\text{m}}\mathord{\left/{\vphantom{{\text{m}}{\text{s}}}}\right.\kern-\nulldelimiterspace}{\text{s}}}$ .

The relation between the wavelength of a wave with the speed of the light and the frequency of the wave is given as:

$\boxed{\lambda =\frac{c}{f}}$

Substitute the value of $c$ and $f$ in above expression.

$\begin{aligned}\lambda&=\frac{{3\times{{10}^8}}}{{6.44\times{{10}^{13}}}}\\&=4.658\times{10^{-6}}\,{\text{m}}\\&\approx{\text{4}}{\text{.66}}\times{\text{1}}{{\text{0}}^{-6}}\,{\text{m}}\\&\approx{\text{466}}\,{\text{nm}}\\\end{aligned}$

Thus, the wavelength of the light having a frequency of $6.44\times{10^{13}}\,{\text{Hz}}$ is $\boxed{4.66\times{{10}^{-6}}\,{\text{m}}}$ or $\boxed{466\,{\text{nm}}}$ .

A wheel rotates with a constant angular acceleration of  rad/s2. During a certain time interval its angular displacement is  r

Hatshy [7]

Answer:

The angular velocity at the beginning of the interval is $\pi\sqrt{2}\ rad/s$ .

Explanation:

Given that,

Angular acceleration $\alpha=\pi\ rad/s^2$

Angular displacement $\theta=\pi\ rad$

Angular velocity $\omega =2\pi\ rad/s$

We need to calculate the angular velocity at the beginning

Using formula of angular velocity

$\alpha =\dfrac{\omega^2-\omega_{0}^2}{2\theta}$

$\omega_{0}^2=\omega^2-2\alpha\theta$

Where, $\alpha$ = angular acceleration

$\omega$ = angular velocity

Put the value into the formula

$\omega_{0}^2=(2\pi)^2-2\times\pi\times\pi$

$\omega=\sqrt{2\pi^2}$

$\omega_{0}=\pi\sqrt{2}\ rad/s$

Hence, The angular velocity at the beginning of the interval is $\pi\sqrt{2}\ rad/s$ .

According to the Guinness Book of World Records, the longest home run ever measured was hit by Roy "Dizzy" Carlyle in a minor-le

Alina [70]

Range of a projectile motion is given by
R = v cos θ / g (v sin θ + sqrt(v^2 sin^2 θ + 2gy_0)); where R = 188m, θ = 41°, g = 9.8m/s^2, y_0 = 0.9

188 = v cos 41° / 9.8 (v sin 41° + sqrt(v^2 sin^2 41° + 2 x 9.8 x 0.9)) = 0.07701(0.6561v + sqrt(0.4304 v^2 + 17.64)) = 0.05053v + 0.07701sqrt(0.4304v^2 + 17.64)
0.07701sqrt(0.4304v^2 + 17.64) = 188 - 0.05053v
0.005931(0.4304v^2 + 17.64) = 35344 - 19v + 0.002553v^2
0.002553v^2 + 0.1046 = 35344 - 19v + 0.002553v^2
19v = 35344 - 0.1046 = 35343.8954
v = 35343.8954/19 = 1860 m/s

Our milky way galaxy is 100000 lyly in diameter. a spaceship crossing the galaxy measures the galaxy's diameter to be a mere 1.

Sidana [21]

The speed of the spaceship relative to the galaxy is 0.99999995c.

A light-year measures distance rather than time (as the name might imply). A light-year is a distance a light beam travels in one year on Earth, which is roughly 6 trillion miles (9.7 trillion kilometers). One light-year equals 5,878,625,370,000 miles. Light moves at a speed of 670,616,629 mph (1,079,252,849 km/h) in a vacuum.We multiply this speed by the number of hours in a year to calculate the distance of a light-year (8,766).

The Milky way galaxy is 100,000 light years in diameter.

The galaxy's diameter is a mere 1. 0 ly.

We know that ;

$L = L_0 \sqrt{1-\frac{v^2}{c^2} }$
