Answer:

Length of longer pendulum = 99.3 cm

Length of shorter pendulum = 82.2 cm

Explanation:

Since the longer pendulum undergoes 10 oscillations in 20 s, its period T = 20 s/10 = 2 s.

From T = 2π√(l/g), the length of the pendulum. l = T²g/4π²

substituting T = 2s and g = 9.8 m/s² we have

l = T²g/4π²

= (2 s)² × 9.8 m/s² ÷ 4π²

= 39.2 m ÷ 4π²

= 0.993 m

= 99.3 cm

Now, for the shorter pendulum to be in step with the longer pendulum, it must have completed some oscillations more than the longer pendulum. Let x be the number of oscillations more in t = 20 s. Let n₁ = number of oscillations of longer pendulum and n₂ = number of oscillations of longer pendulum.

So, n₂ = n₁ + x. Also n₁ = t/T₁ and n₂ = t/T₂ where T₂ = period of shorter pendulum.

t/T₂ = t/T₁ + x

1/T₂ = 1/T₁ + x  (1)

Also, the T₂ = t/n₂ = t/(n₁ + x)  (2)

From (1) T₂ = T₁/(T₁ + x) (3)

equating (2) and (3) we have

t/(n₁ + x) = T₁/(T₁ + x)

substituting t = 20 s and n₁ = 10 and T₁ = 2s, we have

20 s/(10 + x) = 2/(2 + x)

10/(10 + x) = 1/(2 + x)

(10 + x)/10 = (2 + x)

(10 + x) = 10(2 + x)

10 + x = 20 + 10x

collecting like terms

10x - x = 20 - 10

9x = 10

x = 10/9

x = 1.11

x ≅ 1 oscillation

substituting x into (2)

T₂ = t/n₂ = t/(n₁ + x)

= 20/(10 + 1)

= 20/11

= 1.82 s

Since length l = T²g/4π²

substituting T = 1.82 s and g = 9.8 m/s² we have

l = T²g/4π²

= (1.82 s)² × 9.8 m/s² ÷ 4π²

= 32.46 m ÷ 4π²

= 0.822 m

= 82.2 cm

Which describes the relationship between photon energy and the color of light?
Andrew [12]
Photon energy is directly proportional to the frequency of electromagnetic radiation.
(That would also mean that it's inversely proportional to the wavelength.)

So the photon energy increases as you scan the chart of visible colors
moving from the red end of the rainbow to the blue end.
