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.

How many photons with 10 ev are required to produce 20 joules of energy?
oee [108]
One electron Volt (eV) is equal to 1.6 x 10^-19 Joules. Therefore, 10 eV is equal to 1.6 x 10^-18 Joules. In order to produce 20 Joules of energy from 10 eV photons, we would require 20 x 1/(1.6  x 10^-18) = 1.25 x 10^19 particles. This demonstrates that in the world of particle physics, the Joule is a massive energy unit relative to the commonly used electron Volt.

Explain what happens to the energy in a group in a system if one object loses energy according to the Law of Conservation of Ene
konstantin123 [22]

energy never disappears, for example, if you give some kinetic energy to a ball and it stops few seconds later, friction steals this energy to ground which ball was going on. "Law of Conservation of Energy" tell us that energy can't disappear

A bullet with a mass 2.25g is fired up into the air with a velocity of 187.5 m/s. What is the maximum height of the bullet
Ksivusya [100]

Answer:

1793.7m

Explanation:

From the principle of conservation of energy; the kinetic energy substended by the object equals the potential energy sustain by the object when it gets to its maximum position.

Now the kinetic energy; is

K.E = 1/2 × m × v2

Where m is mass

v is velocity

Hence.

K.E = 1/2 × 2.25 × (187.5)^2

Now this should be same with the potential energy which is given as;

P.E = m× g× h

Where m is mass of object

g is acceleration of free fall due to gravity = 9.8m/S2

h is maximum height substain by the object.

Hence P.E = 2.25 × 9.8 × h

From the foregoing analysis of energy conversation it implies;

1/2 × 2.25 × (187.5)^2 =2.25 × 9.8 × h

=> 1/2 × (187.5)^2 = 9.8 × h

=>1/2 × (187.5)^2 / 9.8 = h

=> 1793.69m = h

h= 1793.69m

h =1793.7m to 1 decimal place

Frequency is measured in units called?
irina1246 [14]
The frequency, f, of a wave is the number of waves passing a point in a certain time. We normally use a time of one second, so this gives frequency the unit hertz (Hz), since one hertz is equal to one wave per second.
