What is the frequency of an ocean wave that is traveling at a speed of 45 m/s if it has a wavelength of 3 meters.

Physics

vaieri [72.5K]3 years ago

Answer:

Frequency, f = 15 Hz      

Explanation:

We have,

Speed of an ocean wave is 45 m/s

Wavelength of a wave is 3 m

It is required to find the frequency of an ocean wave.

Speed of a wave, v=f\lambda, f = frequency of ocean wave

f=\dfrac{v}{\lambda}\\\\f=\dfrac{45}{3}\\\\f=15\ Hz

So, the frequency of an ocean wave is 15 Hz.

Ejection of Electrons from Hydrogen by Incident Photons Light of wavelength 80 nm is incident on a sample of hydrogen gas, resul
timofeeve [1]

Answer:

a)   K_{max} = 1.9 eV = 3.04 10⁻¹⁹ J,b ) This means that some electrons are at the first excited level of the hydrogen atom, which is highly likely as the temperature rises.

Explanation:

a) To calculate the maximum kinetic energy of the expelled electrons let's use the relationships of the photoelectric effect

      K_{max}= h f - Φ

Where K is the kinetic energy, h the Planck constant that is worth 6.63 10⁻³⁴ Js, f the frequency and Φ the work function

The speed of light is related to wavelength and frequency

     c = λ f

Let's analyze the work function, it is the energy needed to start an electron from a metal, in this case to start an electron from a hydrogen atom its fundamental energy is needed, so

     Φ= E₀ = 13.6 eV

let's replace and calculate the energy of the incident photon

     E = h c / λ

     E = 6.63 10⁻³⁴ 3 10⁸/80 10⁻⁹

     E = 2,486 10⁻¹⁸ J

Let's reduce to eV

     E = 2,486 10⁻¹⁸ (1 eV / 1.6 10⁻¹⁹)

     E = 15.5 eV

Now we can calculate the kinetic energy

     K_{max}= h c / f - fi

      K_{max} = 15.5 -13.6

     K_{max} = 1.9 eV

b)     Extra energy = 10.2 eV

The total kinetic energy of electrons is

       Total kinetic energy = 1.9 +10.2 = 12.1 eV

For the calculation we are assuming that all the electors are in the hydrogen base state, but for temperatures greater than 0K some electors may be in some excited state, so less energy is needed to tear them out of hydrogen atom.

Let's analyze this possibility

      ΔE = E photon - Total kinetic energy electron

      ΔE = 15.5 - 12.1

      ΔE = 3.4 eV

If we use the Bohr ratio for the hydrogen atom

     E_{n} = 13.606 / n2

     n = √ 13.606 / En

     n = √ (13606 / 3.4)

     n = 2

This means that some electrons are at the first excited level of the hydrogen atom, which is highly likely as the temperature rises.

Gravitational force is determined by which of the following
hram777 [196]

Gravitational force is determined by mass

Answer: Option B

<u>Explanation:</u>

According to Universal law of gravity, the gravitational force is directly proportional to the product of the masses of the objects and inversely proportional to the square of the distance between the objects.

            F=G \times \frac{m_{1} \times m_{2}}{r^{2}}

Where,

G – gravitational constant = \text { 6. } 67 \times 10^{-11} \mathrm{Nm}^{2} / \mathrm{kg}^{2}

\boldsymbol{m}_{1}, \boldsymbol{m}_{2} = masses of two objects

r – distance between the objects

So, as per this law, the gravitational force is found by mass.

Which statement correctly compares ultraviolet light to visible light? Ultraviolet light has both a lower frequency and longer w
Effectus [21]

The correct statement is

Ultraviolet light has both a higher frequency and a higher radiant energy than visible light.

because ultraviolet light has wavelength smaller than the visible light hence has a greater frequency as compared to visible light. (frequency is inversely related to wavelength. hence smaller the wavelength , greater will be the frequency)

we also know that the radiant energy is directly proportional to the frequency. hence greater the frequency , greater will be the radiant energy.

Since the frequency is greater for ultraviolet light , it radiant energy is also greater

Vector sum of 15 m, East and 9 m, West is 24 m, East. True False
Firlakuza [10]

Answer:

False

Explanation:

Because when you go through east

( +x axis ) then you go to west ( -x axis )

You will subtract -9 from +15

it's become +6

( I talk about the displacement not distance) ( West = - East )

I hope that it's a clear ") .
