V: velocity of wave
f: frequency
L: wavelenght

v = fL => L = v/f => L = (3x10^8)/(900x10^3) => L = 3.33 x 10^2m

Cobaltâ’60 is a radioactive isotope used to treat cancers of the brain and other tissues. A gamma ray emitted by an atom of this

Crank

Energy of gamma rays is given by equation

$E = h\nu$

here we know that

h = Planck's constant

$\nu = frequency$

now energy is given as

$E = 4.70 MeV = 4.70 \times 10^6 \times 1.6 \times 10^{-19}$

$E = 7.52 \times 10^{-13} J$

now by above equation

$E = h\nu$

$7.52 \times 10^{-13} = 6.6 \times 10^{-34} \nu$

$\nu = 1.14 \times 10^{21} Hz$

now for wavelength we can say

$\lambda = \frac{c}{\nu}$

$\lambda = \frac{3\times 10^8}{1.14 \times 10^{21}}$

$\lambda = 2.63 \times 10^{-13} m$

At noon on a clear day, sunlight reaches the earth\'s surface at Madison, Wisconsin, with an average power of approximately 3.00

alexira [117]

Energy of a wave:
E = nhc/λ
3000 = (n x 6.63 x 10⁻³⁴ x 3 x 10⁸)/(510 x 10⁻⁹)
n = 7.69 x 10 ²¹ photons per second per meter²
2.70 cm² = 2.70/10,000 m²
= 2.7 x 10⁻⁴
Photons per second = 7.69 x 10 ²¹ x 2.7 x 10⁻⁴
= 2.08 x 10¹⁸ photons per second
