A beam of light has a wavelength of 4.5 x10^-7 meter in a vacuum. the frequency of this light is

1 answer:

3 0

The basic relationship between frequency and wavelength for light (which is an electromagnetic wave) is
$c= f \lambda$
where c is the speed of light, f the frequency and $\lambda$ the wavelength of the wave.
Using $\lambda=4.5 \cdot 10^{-7} m$ and $c=3 \cdot 10^8 m/s$ , we can find the value of the frequency:
$f= \frac{c}{\lambda}= \frac{3 \cdot 10^8 m/s}{4.5 \cdot 10^{-7} m}=6.7 \cdot 10^{14} Hz$

As a laudably skeptical physics student, you want to test Coulomb's law. For this purpose, you set up a measurement in which a p

Explanation:

The Coulomb's law states that the magnitude of each of the electric forces between two point-at-rest charges is directly proportional to the product of the magnitude of both charges and inversely proportional to the square of the distance that separates them:

$F=\frac{kq_1q_2}{d^2}$

In this case we have an electron (-e) and a proton (e), so:

$F=-\frac{ke^2}{d^2}\\F=-\frac{8.99*10^9\frac{N\cdot m^2}{s^2}(1.6*10^{-19}C)^2}{(933*10^{-9}m)^2}\\F=-2.64*10^{-16}N$

In this case, the electric force is negative, therefore, the force is repulsive and its magnitude is:

$F=2.64*10^{-16}N$

A 69 kg zebra is traveling 7 m/s east. What is the zebra’s momentum? kg-m/s

Hitman42 [59]

Linear momentum is the product of mass and velocity. In this case, it is simply:
$69\times 7 = 483 kg\cdot m/s$

Answer: unspecific

Explanation:

you should always be specific with your goals, say someones goal is to make it to state for swimming, he/she should be specific to the event in which they want to go to state in.
