Humans have three types of cone cells in their eyes, which are responsible for color vision. Each type absorbs a certain part of

the visible spectrum. Suppose a particular cone cell absorbs light with a wavelength of 430 nm. Calculate the frequency of this light. Be sure your answer has the correct number of significant digits.

Answer:

Frequency of the light will be equal to 6.97\times 10^{1}Hz

Explanation:

We have given wavelength of the light \lambda =430nm=430\times 10^{-9}m

Velocity of light is equal to v=3\times 10^8m/sec

We have to find the frequency of light

We know that velocity is equal to v=\lambda f, here \lambda is wavelength and f is frequency of light

So frequency of light will be equal to f=\frac{v}{\lambda }=\frac{3\times 10^8}{430\times 10^{-9}}=6.97\times 10^{1}Hz

So frequency of the light will be equal to 6.97\times 10^{1}Hz

A plane electromagnetic wave travels northward. At one instant, its electric field has a magnitude of 9.6 V/m and points eastwar
lara31 [8.8K]

Answer:

The values is  B  = 3.2 *10^{-8} \  T

The  direction is out of the plane

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

  The  magnitude of the electric field is  E  =  9.6 \  V/m

 

The  magnitude of the magnetic field is mathematically represented as

       B  = \frac{E}{c}

where c is the speed of light with value

      B  = \frac{ 9.6}{3.0 *10^{8}}

     B  = 3.2 *10^{-8} \  T

Given that the direction off the electromagnetic wave( c ) is  northward(y-plane ) and  the electric field(E) is eastward(x-plane ) then the magnetic field will be acting in the out of the page  (z-plane  )

When reaching a boundary between two media (1 and 2), an incident ray is partially reflected and partially refracted. The ray is
lukranit [14]

Answer:

The angle of incidence when the reflected ray is perpendicular to the incident ray = 45°

Explanation:

According to Snell's Law,

n₁ sin θ₁ = n₂ sin θ₂

When the angle between the incident ray and reflected ray is 90°, the angle of incidence is θ₁ and the angle of reflection, θ₂ = 90° - θ₁ and the index of refraction in the Snell's Law for both media would be the same, n₁ = n₂ = n

n sin θ₁ = n sin (90° - θ₁)

Note that from trigonometric relations,

Sin (90° - θ₁) = cos θ₁

n sin θ₁ = n cos θ₁

(sin θ₁)/(cos θ₁) = 1

tan θ₁ = 1

θ₁ = arctan 1 = 45°

Hope this Helps!!!

A 3.0-kg mass and a 5.0-kg mass hang vertically at the opposite ends of a rope that goes over an ideal pulley. If the masses are
irga5000 [103]

Answer:

The time taken will be 0.553 seconds.

Explanation:

We should start off by finding the force exerted by the rope on the 3kg weight in this case.

Weight of 5kg mass = 5 * 9.81 = 49.05 N

Weight of 3kg mass = 3 * 9.81 = 29.43 N

The force acting upward on the 3kg mass will equal the weight of the 5kg mass. Thus the resultant force acting on the 3kg mass is:

Total force = 49.05 - 29.43 = 19.62 N (upwards)

We can now find the acceleration:

F = m * a

19.62 = 3 * a

a = 6.54 m/s^2

We now use the following equation of motion to get the time taken to travel 1 meter:

s=u*t+\frac{1}{2} (a*t^2)

1=0*t+\frac{1}{2} (6.54*t^2)

t = 0.553 seconds

A 3.06kg stone is dropped from a height of 10.0m and strikes the ground with a velocity of 7.00m/s. What average force of air fr
xxTIMURxx [149]
<span>22.5 newtons. First, let's determine how much energy the stone had at the moment of impact. Kinetic energy is expressed as: E = 0.5mv^2 where E = Energy m = mass v = velocity Substituting known values and solving gives: E = 0.5 3.06 kg (7 m/s)^2 E = 1.53 kg 49 m^2/s^2 E = 74.97 kg*m^2/s^2 Now ignoring air resistance, how much energy should the rock have had? We have a 3.06 kg moving over a distance of 10.0 m under a force of 9.8 m/s^2. So 3.06 kg * 10.0 m * 9.8 m/s^2 = 299.88 kg*m^2/s^2 So without air friction, we would have had 299.88 Joules of energy, but due to air friction we only have 74.97 Joules. The loss of energy is 299.88 J - 74.97 J = 224.91 J So we can claim that 224.91 Joules of work was performed over a distance of 10 meters. So let's do the division. 224.91 J / 10 m = 224.91 kg*m^2/s^2 / 10 m = 22.491 kg*m/s^2 = 22.491 N Rounding to 3 significant figures gives an average force of 22.5 newtons.</span>
