A light wave travels through air at a speed of 3.0x108 m/s. Green light has a wavelength of about 5.76x1014Hz. What is the wavel

solong [7]

Answer:

521 nm

Explanation:

Given the values and units we are given, I'm assuming 5.76*10^14 Hz is frequency.

The formula to use here is λ * υ = c, where λ is wavelength, υ is frequency, and c is the speed of light.

λ = $\frac{3*10^8\frac{m}{s} }{5.76*10^{14}Hz} = {5.20833*10^{-7} m}\approx{521 *10^{-9}m}={521 nm}$

The kinetic energy of an object is increased by a factor of 4 . By what factor is the magnitude of its momentum changed: 2.

<h3>What is kinetic energy?</h3>

A particle or an item that is in motion has a sort of energy called kinetic energy. An item accumulates kinetic energy when work, which involves the transfer of energy, is done on it by exerting a net force.
Kinetic energy comes in five forms: radiant, thermal, acoustic, electrical, and mechanical.
The energy of a body in motion, or kinetic energy (KE), is essentially the energy of all moving objects. Along with potential energy, which is the stored energy present in objects at rest, it is one of the two primary types of energy.
Explain that a moving object's mass and speed are two factors that impact the amount of kinetic energy it will possess.

The wavelength of red helium-neon laser light in air is 632.8 nm.(a) What is its frequency? Hz(b) What is its wavelength in glas

vekshin1

<h2>Answers:</h2>

The speed of a wave is given by:

$v=f.\lambda$ (1)

Where $f$ is the frequency and $\lambda$ the wavelength.

In the case of light, its speed is:

$c=f.\lambda$ (2)

On the other hand, the described situation is known as Refraction, a phenomenon in which the light changes its direction when passing through a medium with a refractive index different from the other medium.

In this context, the Refractive index $n$ is a number that describes how fast light propagates through a medium or material, and is defined as the relation between the speed of light in vacuum ( $c=3(10)^{8}m/s$ ) and the speed of light $v$ in the second medium:

$n=\frac{c}{v}$ (3)

In addition, as the light changes its direction, its wavelength changes as well:

$n=\frac{\lambda_{air}}{\lambda_{glass}}$ (4)

Knowing this, let's begin with the answers:

<h2>a) Frequency</h2>

From equation (2) we can find $f$ :

$f=\frac{c}{\lambda}$ (5)

Knowing that $1nm=(10)^{-9}m$ :

$f=\frac{3(10)^{8}m/s}{632.8(10)^{-9}m}$

$f=4.74(10)^{14}Hz}$ (6) >>>Frequency of the helium-neon laser light

<h2>b) Wavelength in glass</h2>

We already know the wavelength of the light in air $\lambda_{air}$ and the index of refraction of the glass.

So, we only have to find the wavelength in glass $\lambda_{glass}$ from equation (4):

$\lambda_{glass}=\frac{\lambda_{air}}{n}$

$\lambda_{glass}=\frac{632.8(10)^{-9}m}{1.48}$

$\lambda_{glass}=427(10)^{-9}m=427nm$ (7) >>>Wavelength of the helium-neon laser light in glass

<h2>c) Speed in glass</h2>

From equation (3) we can find the speed $v$ of this light in glass:

$v=\frac{c}{n}$

$v=\frac{3(10)^{8}m/s}{1.48}$

$v=2.027(10)^{8}m/s$ (8) >>>Speed of the helium-neon laser light in glass
