Answer:

The value is E =  1.35 *10^{14} \ J

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

    The mass of matter converted to energy on first test is  m  =  1 \  g  = 0.001 \  kg

    The mass of matter converted to energy on second test m_1 =  1.5 \  g = 1.5 *10^{-3} \ kg

    Generally the amount of energy that was released by  the explosion is  mathematically  represented as  

         E =  m * c^2

=>       E =  1.5 *10^{-3}  * [ 3.0 *10^{8}]^2

=>       E =  1.35 *10^{14} \ J

What is the energy in joules of a photon with a frequency of 3.16e 12 s-1?
erica [24]
We have: Energy(E) = Planck's constant(h) × Frequency(∨)
Here, Planck's constant(h) = 6.626 × 10⁻³⁴ J/s
Frequency (∨) = 3.16 × 10¹² /s

Substitute the values into the expression:
E = (6.626 × 10⁻³⁴)(3.16 × 10¹²) J
E = 2.093 × 10⁻²¹ Joules

In short, Your Final answer would be 2.093 × 10⁻²¹ J

Hope this helps!

For two traveling waves, if the crest of one wave coincides with a trough of another, what type of interference occurs?
kogti [31]
When crest of one wave interferes with the trough of other wave, the amplitude of the resultant wave formed is less. Hence the type of interference is destructive interference.
