6 0

Answer:

Explanation:

Formula and givens

  • λ = c / f
  • λ is the wavelength
  • c = the speed of light
  • f = the frequency
  • c = 3*10^8
  • f = 7.89 * 10^14

λ = ?

Solution

λ = 3*10^8 / 7.89*10^14

λ = 3*10^8/7.89*10^14

λ = 2.36 * 10^7

λ = 236 nanometers. What you use as your solution depends on what what you have been taught.

Which correctly describes electric potential, electric field, and electric (or electrostatic) force?
vlabodo [156]

Answer:

E

Explanation:

A vector is a physical quantity that has magnitude and direction while a scalar is a physical quantity that has magnitude only

*electric potential is a scalar quantity because it only has magnitude

*electric field and electric force are vector quantities because they have magnitude and direction

1. A boy walk 140 m due north, 85 m due east, 35 m due southeast, 38 m due west and then 19 m due northwest. Calculate the displ
Dima020 [189]

Answer:

141 m at 65.6° N of E

Explanation:

Let E be along the positive x axis of a unit circle

N = 90°

E = 0°

SE = -45°

W = 180°

NW = 135°

east displacement

x = 140cos90 + 85cos0 + 35cos-45 + 38cos180 + 19cos135 = 58.313708... m

north displacement

y = 140sin90 + 85sin0 + 35sin-45 + 38sin180 + 19sin135 = 128.6862915... m

d = √(128.6862915² + 58.313708²) = 141.28216525... m

tanθ = 128.6862915 / 58.313708

θ = 65.622521...

A wedge shaped air film is made between two sheets of glass using a spacer at one end of the glass sheets. If light of wavelengt
pychu [463]

Answer:

1178 nm

Explanation:

We are given that

Wavelength of light=\lambda=589nm=589\times 10^{-9} m

1nm=10^{-9} m

We have to find the thickness of spacer if five dark fringes are observed between the edges of the glass.

Suppose that first dark fringe and fifth dark fringe near spacer, then the path length of light is 4 times the wavelength of light.

The light passes through air film is two times  then the change in air film thickness  from one edge to other is two times the wavelength of light.

Change in air film thickness  from one edge to other edge  is same as the thickness of spacer.

Therefore, thickness of spacer=2\lambda

Thickness of spacer=2\times 589\times 10^{-9}m

Thickness of spacer=1178 nm

Hence, the thickness of spacer=1178 nm
