Consider the following waves representing electromagnetic radiation: An illustration shows two waves representing electromagneti

Murljashka [212]

Answer:

a) red wave hs a longer wavelength than the green wave

b)f = 1.875 10¹¹ Hz , f_green = 5.45 10¹⁴Hz

c) E = 1.24 10⁻²² J , E_green = 3.6 10⁻¹⁹ J

d) The red wave is in the infrared range, heat waves

The green wave is in the visible wavelength

Explanation:

a) The green wave are on the left in the electromagnetic spectrum so the red wave has a longer wavelength than the green wave

The green wavelength is in the range of 550 10⁻⁹ m

The speed of the wave is

c = λ f

f = c /λ

b) The frequency of the red wave is

f = 3 10⁸ / 1.6 10⁻³

f = 1.875 10¹¹ Hz

For the green wave

f_green = 3 10⁸/550 10⁻⁹

f_green = 5.45 10¹⁴Hz

c) The photon energy is given by the Planck equation

E = h f

E = 6.63 10⁻³⁴ 1.875 10¹¹

E = 1.24 10⁻²² J

For the green wave

E_green = 6.63 10⁻³⁴ 5.45 10¹⁴

E_green = 3.6 10⁻¹⁹ J

d) The speed of electromagnetic waves is constant and has a value of 3 108 m / s

The red wave is in the infrared range, heat waves

The green wave is in the visible wavelength

A snowball with a mass of 85 g hits the top hat of a 1.5 m tall snowman and sticks to it. the hat and the snowball, with a combi

LenaWriter [7]

Part (a): Velocity of the snowball
By conservation of momentu;
m1v1 + m2v2 = m3v3,

Where, m1 = mass of snowball, v1, velocity of snowball, m2 = mass of the hat, v2 = velocity of the hat, m3 = mass of snowball and the hat, v3 = velocity of snowball and the hut.

v2 = 0, and therefore,
85*v1 + 0 = 220*8 => v1 = 220*8/85 = 20.71 m/s

Part (b): Horizontal range
x = v3*t
But,
y = vy -1/2gt^2, but y = -1.5 m (moving down), vy =0 (no vertical velocity), g = 9.81 m/s^2

Substituting;
-1.5 = 0 - 1/2*9.81*t^2
1.5 = 4.905*t^2
t = Sqrt (1.5/4.905) = 0.553 seconds

Then,
x = 8*0.553 = 4.424 m

Explain how do winds cause surface currents?

igor_vitrenko [27]

Answer:

As wind or an ocean current moves, the Earth spins underneath it. ... The Coriolis effect bends the direction of surface currents to the right in the Northern Hemisphere and left in the Southern Hemisphere.

Explanation:

The Coriolis effect causes winds and currents to form circular patterns.

You drive 6.00 km at 50.0 km/h and then another 6.00kmat 900 km/h Your average speed over

Cerrena [4.2K]

Explanation:

average speed = total distance travelled / total time travelled

time to travel the first 6km: 6 / 50 = 3/25 (h)

time to travel the next 6km: 6 / 90 = 1/15 (h)

[I think there's problem in the question 'cause 900km/h sounds impossible for normal person to travel in normal condition]

The total time: 3/25 + 1/15 = 14/75 (h)

Average speed over the 12 km drive will be:

$\frac{12}{ \frac{14}{75} } = \frac{450}{7} = 64.3 \: km{h}^{ - 1}$

If the man on the left pulls on the object with a force of 500 N and the man on the right pulls on the object with a force of 75

Igoryamba

Force is a vector quantity
so pulling from opposite side will be negative
so
750+(-500)= 250N
C is the right answer
becauseause the man on the right applies greater force.
