Answer:

a

    n =  1.119 *10^{18} \ photons

b

  P  =  1.6 \ W

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

    The wavelength is  \lambda  =  2780 nm =  2780 *10^{-9} \ m

     The  energy  is  E =  80 mJ  =  80 *10^{-3} \ J

This energy is mathematically represented as

     E   = \frac{n  *  h *  c }{\lambda }

Where  c is the speed of light with a value  c =  3.0 *10^{8} \ m/s

             h is the Planck's  constant with the value  h  =  6.626 *10^{-34} \ J \cdot s

             n is the number of pulses

So

      n =  \frac{E * \lambda }{h * c }

substituting values

       n =  \frac{80 *10^{-3} *  2780 *10^{-9}}{6.626 *10^{-34} * 3.0 *10^{8} }

       n =  1.119 *10^{18} \ photons

Given that the pulses where emitted 20 times in one second then the period of the pulse is

       T  =  \frac{1}{20}

      T = 0.05 \ s

Hence the average power of photons in one 80-mJ pulse during 1 s is mathematically represented as

       P  =  \frac{E}{T}

substituting values

       P  =  \frac{ 80 *10^{-3}}{0.05}

        P  =  1.6 \ W

What is the wavelength of a radio wave with a frequency of 2.00 x 10^4 Hz? (hint: what is the speed of all electromagnetic radia
patriot [66]

Answer: Option B

The wavelength for a radio wave with a frequency of  2 × 10⁴ Hz is

1.5 × 10⁴ m.

Explanation:

Wavelength is the measure of distance between two successive crests or troughs in a standing wave. Also wavelength can be measured as the ratio of velocity of light to frequency. It is like this because wavelength is inversely proportional to the frequency.

Wavelength =\frac{c}{frequency}

As c = 3 × 10⁸ m/s and the frequency is 2 × 10⁴ Hz, then the wavelength will be

Wavelength =\frac{3*10^{8} }{2*10^{4} } =1.5*10^{4} m

So, the wavelength for a radio wave with a frequency of  2 × 10⁴ Hz is

1.5 × 10⁴ m.

A sling is used to give a stone an initial velocity of 20 at an angle of 30 above the horizontal. The stone travels through the
Luba_88 [7]

Answer:

Option E is correct.

There must be a horizontal wind opposite the direction of the stone's motion, because ignoring air resistance when calculating the horizontal range would yield a value greater than 32 m.

Explanation:

Normally, ignoring air resistance, for projectile motion, the range (horizontal distance teavelled) of the motion is given as

R = (u² sin 2θ)/g

where

u = initial velocity of the projectile = 20 m/s

θ = angle above the horizontal at which the projectile was launched = 30°

g = acceleration due to gravity = 9.8 m/s²

R = (30² sin 60°) ÷ 9.8

R = 78.53 m

So, Normally, the stone should travel a horizontal distance of 78.53 m. So, travelling a horizontal distance of 32 m (less than half of what the range should be without air resistance) means that, the motion of the stone was impeded, hence, option E is correct.

There must be a horizontal wind opposite the direction of the stone's motion, because ignoring air resistance when calculating the horizontal range would yield a value greater than 32 m.

Hope this Helps!!!
