Answer:

Distance between two adjacent wave crests = 24m

Explanation:

Distance= speed × time

Distance traveled by waves in 60 seconds (15 crests)= 15 × distance

15 × distance = 6,0 (meters/second) × 60 seconds

distance = (360 meters) / 15 = 24 meters (between two adyacent waves)

Wavelength of blue photons 495 nm, what is the frequency? and what is the energy?
inessss [21]

Answer:

1.F: About 6*10^14 Hz

2.E: About 4*10^ -19 J

Explanation:

Frequency: We knew that the speed of a wave is its wavelength(λ)* frequency(f, in Hz).  By the wave-particle duality we know we can calculate the frequency of light in the same way. So, c=495nm *f, f=c/495nm=> (299,792,458 m/s) / (4.95*10^-7 m)

=6.05*10^14 /s

Energy: The energy photon contains can be calculate by this formula-- E=hf

f is the frequency and h is Planck's constant which is about 6.62 ×10^-34 *m^2*kg/s (after dimensional analysis ) =6.62*10^ -34 J*s.

So, the energy of a blue photon is (6.05*10^14)*(6.62*10^-34)=40.051*10^-20=  4.051*10^-19 J

The gap between electrodes in a spark plug is 0.060 cm. Producing an electric spark in a gasoline-air mixture requires an electr
Mandarinka [93]

Answer:

The magnitude of minimum potential difference is 1800 V

Explanation:

Given:

Electric field E = 3 \times 10^{6} \frac{V}{m}

Gap between electrodes d = 0.060 \times 10^{-2} m

For finding the minimum potential difference,

  \Delta V = E \times d

  \Delta V = 3 \times 10^{6} \times 0.060 \times 10^{-2}

  \Delta V = 1800 V

Therefore, the magnitude of minimum potential difference is 1800 V

When current is flowing through a car’s rear defroster (Exercise 33), the voltage at each end of the metal strips is different.
Yanka [14]

The voltage released because the charges in the current dropped electric potential energy; this energy loss occured due to the resistance of the metal strips.

<u>Explanation:</u>

  • Current flows from huge voltage (high potential) to base voltage (low potential).
  • So the end of the strip wherever the current goes at a higher voltage than the end of the strip where the current leaves.
  • The voltage released because the charges in the current dropped electric potential energy; this energy loss occured due to the resistance of the metal strips.
  • The electric potential energy converted into thermal energy, heating the strips.
