If the light wave has a wavelength of 10m what would be its velocity

Physics

s2008m [1.1K]3 years ago

If this case could ever happen, the speed would follow from this formula:

v = f \cdot \lambda

with f the frequency and lambda the wavelength. We are give a wavelength of 10m. The frequencies of the visible light can range between 400 to about 790 Terahertz, so let us pick a middle point of 600 THz ("green-ish") as a "representative."

v = 600THz\cdot 10m = 6\cdot 10^{14} \frac{1}{s}\cdot 10 m = 6\cdot10^{15}\frac{m}{s}

The speed of such a wave would have to be 6e+15 m/s (which would be 7 orders of magnitude higher than the universal speed of light constant)

The speed of light ... and all other forms of electromagnetic radiation ... depends only on the electrical properties of the medium, and not on wavelength.

The speed of light is

(299,792,458 m/s) / (index of refraction of the medium)

(The index of refraction of vacuum is 1.00 .  It's greater than 1.00 in any material stuff, and different in every material.)

= = = = =

By the way, an electromagnetic wave 10 meters long is no light wave.  It's a radio wave whose frequency is 30 MHz.

When does a circuit is said to be over loaded?​
Vlad [161]

Answer:

Every electric circuit in a wiring system must be protected against overloads. A circuit overload occurs when the amount of current flowing through the circuit exceeds the rating of the protective devices. The amount of current flowing in a circuit is determined by the load -- or the "demand" -- for current.

Explanation:

Hope this helps :)

When the spacecraft is at the halfway point, how does the strength of the gravitional force on the spaceprobe by Earth compre wi
mixer [17]

Solution :

When the spacecraft is at halfway point, the distance from the Earth as well as Mars are same. We have to account the masses of the planets. The gravitational force that is exerted by the Earth is greater because of its combined mass with the space probe.

The mass of Earth is greater than the mass of Mars. Therefore, the force of Earth is more than Mars.

If C is 1kg and D is 100kg, and the initial velocities of both balls are 5m/s, how would the magnitude of the forces exerted by
kupik [55]

Answer:

Explanation:

The forces exerted by each mass is best understood in terms of their momentum.

Momentum is a sort of compelling force or impulse. It is given as:

                  Momentum  =  mass x velocity

Let us consider the momentum of the balls;

Substance C;

    Mass  = 1kg

     Velocity  = 5m/s

    Momentum of C = 1 x 5  = 5kgm/s

Substance D:

      Mass  = 100kg

      Velocity  = 5m/s

     Momentum of D  = 100kg x 5m/s  = 500kgm/s

Body D has a higher momentum compared to Body C. This suggests that body D will exert a higher force than C when they collide.

The higher the momentum, the more the force of impact it has.
