Which light packs the highest energy per photon? 1. infrared 2. red 3. blue 4. ultraviolet 5. green?

1 answer:

3 0

A single photon carries an energy equal to
$E=hf$
where h is the Planck's constant and f is the frequency of the photon.
This means that the higher the frequency of the light, the higher the energy. Among the 5 different options mentioned by the problem, the light with highest frequency is ultraviolet, which has frequencies in the range [3-30] PHz, while visible light (red, blue, green) and infrared have lower frequency, so ultraviolet light has the highest energy per photon.

Estimate the volume of a piece of molecular cloud that has the same amount of water as your body.

noname [10]

Question:

The water molecules now in your body were once part of a molecular cloud. Only about onemillionth of the mass of a molecular cloud is in the form of water molecules, and the mass density of such a cloud is roughly 2.0×10−21 g/cm^3.

Estimate the volume of a piece of molecular cloud that has the same amount of water as your body.

Answer:

The volume of cloud that has the same density as the amount of water in our body is 1.4×10²⁵ cm³

Explanation:

Here, we have mass density of cloud = 2.0×10⁻²¹ g/cm^3

Density = Mass/Volume

Volume = Mass/Density = If the mass is 40 kg and the body is made up of 70% by mass of water, we have

28 kg water = 28000 g

Therefore the Volume = 28 kg/ 2.0×10⁻²¹ g/cm^3 = 1.4×10¹⁹ m³ = 1.4×10²⁵ cm³.

Therefore, the volume of cloud that has the same density as the amount of water in our body = 1.4×10²⁵ cm³.

Approximately how many atoms are there along a 9.5 cm line

uranmaximum [27]

First convert 5.5 cm to meters.

(5.5 cm / 1) x (m / 100 cm) = 0.055 m

A typical atom is about 1.0E-10 m in diameter; thus:

0.055 m / 1.0E-10 m = 5.5E8 atoms or 550,000,000 end-to-end atoms in 5.5 cm

Calculate the current flowing if a charge of 36 kilocoulombs flows in 1 hour.

o-na [289]

Answer:

Current = 10 Amperes.

Explanation:

Given the following dat;

Quantity of charge, Q = 36 kilocoulombs (KC) = 36 * 1000 = 36000C

Time = 1 hour to seconds = 60*60 = 3600 seconds

To find the current;

Quantity of charge = current * time

Substituting in the equation

36000 = current * 3600

Current = 36000/3600

Current = 10 Amperes.

Albert presses a book against a wall with his hand. As Albert gets tired, he exerts less force, but the book remains in the same

marissa [1.9K]

Answer:

maximum static frictional force of the wall on the book (Increasing)

normal force of the wall on the book (Decreasing)

weight of the book (Not changing)

Explanation:

Now according to Newton's third law of motion

"Every action has equal but opposite reaction"

By the data given in question, Albert was pressing the book against the wall.Now, Albert started to reduce his force up against the wall.

First we have to consider all the forces applied on book in this scenario.

1. Weight of book acting downwards (y-axis)

2. Friction between book and wall acting upward (y-axis)

3. Albert's force on book against wall (x-axis)

4. Normal reaction of wall against Albert's force (x-axis)

Now, when Albert reduced his force, new scenario will be

1. Weight will be remain constant as it is W = mg

Neither mass nor acceleration due to gravity changed, so weight acting upon the book will remain same.

2. When Albert reduced force, normal reaction of wall reduced against it according to Newton's third law of motion

3. Now notice that friction is a force which acts in accordance with the applied force. For example if a box is placed at floor, no friction is applied, but when you drag the box, friction starts to act and increases until its limit comes. So, when Albert reduced his force, weight will try to pull the book and maximum static friction will increase to hinder the movement of book downwards.

Notice that maximum static friction will hinder the book from movement, since Albert reduced his force, but wight didn't pull the book, which means that maximum static friction increased to hinder downward motion.
