Calculate the wavelength (in nm) of the blue light emitted by a mercury lamp with a frequency of 6.88 × 1014 Hz. The speed of li
Nezavi [6.7K]

Answer: 430 nm.

Explanation:

The relation of wavelength and frequency is:

Formula used : \nu=\frac{c}{\lambda}

where,

\nu = frequency =6.88\times 10^{14}Hz

\lambda = wavelength  = ?

c = speed of light = 3.00\times 10^{8}m/s

Now put all the given values in this formula, we get

6.88\times 10^{14}=\frac{3.00\times 10^{8}m/s}{\lambda}

\lambda=\frac{3.00\times 10^{8}m/s}{6.88\times 10^{14}}=0.43\times 10^{-6}m=430m        (1nm=10^{-9}m)

Thus the wavelength (in nm) of the blue light emitted by a mercury lamp is 430 nm.

Famed stunt pilot, Cleonvia Thread, pulls out rapidly from a dive. He is traveling at 222 mi/h at the bottom of his trajectory,
Simora [160]

Answer:

0.39 m/s²

Explanation:

From the question,

a = v²/r.................... Equation 1

Where v = velocity, r = radius.

Given: v = 222 mi/h = (222×0.44704) m/s = 9.83 m/s, r = 820 ft = (820×0.3048) m = 249.94 m.

Substitute thses values into equation 1

a = 9.83²/249.94

a = 96.63/249.94

a = 0.39 m/s²

Hence the  acceleration is 0.39 m/s²
