Answer:

After refraction at two parallel faces of a glass slab, a ray of light emerges in a direction parallel to the direction of incidence of white light on the slab. As rays of all colours emerge in the same direction (of incidence of white light), hence there is no dispersion, but only lateral displacement.

What are (a) the energy of a photon corresponding to wavelength 6.0 nm, (b) the kinetic energy of an electron with de Broglie wa

dlinn [17]

Explanation:

Given that,

Wavelength = 6.0 nm

de Broglie wavelength = 6.0 nm

(a). We need to calculate the energy of photon

Using formula of energy

$E = \dfrac{hc}{\lambda}$

$E=\dfrac{6.63\times10^{-34}\times3\times10^{8}}{6.0\times10^{-9}}$

$E=3.315\times10^{-17}\ J$

(b). We need to calculate the kinetic energy of an electron

Using formula of kinetic energy

$\lambda=\dfrac{h}{\sqrt{2mE}}$

$E=\dfrac{h^2}{2m\lambda^2}$

Put the value into the formula

$E=\dfrac{(6.63\times10^{-34})^2}{2\times9.1\times10^{-31}\times(6.0\times10^{-9})^2}$

$E=6.709\times10^{-21}\ J$

(c). We need to calculate the energy of photon

Using formula of energy

$E = \dfrac{hc}{\lambda}$

$E=\dfrac{6.63\times10^{-34}\times3\times10^{8}}{6.0\times10^{-15}}$

$E=3.315\times10^{-11}\ J$

(d). We need to calculate the kinetic energy of an electron

Using formula of kinetic energy

$\lambda=\dfrac{h}{\sqrt{2mE}}$

$E=\dfrac{h^2}{2m\lambda^2}$

Put the value into the formula

$E=\dfrac{(6.63\times10^{-34})^2}{2\times9.1\times10^{-31}\times(6.0\times10^{-15})^2}$

$E=6.709\times10^{-9}\ J$

Hence, This is the required solution.

A sound wave with a frequency of 400 Hz is moving through a solid object. If the wavelength of the sound wave is 8 m, what is th

Paraphin [41]

Answer:

v = 3200 m/s

Explanation:

As we know that the frequency of the sound wave is given as

$f = 400 Hz$

wavelength of the sound wave is given as

$\lambda = 8 m$

so now we have

$speed = wavelength \times frequency$

so we will have

$v = (8m) \times (400 Hz)$

$v = 3200 m/s$

In an LC circuit containing a 40-mH ideal inductor and a 1.2-mF capacitor, the maximum charge on the capacitor is 45mC during os

GalinKa [24]

Answer:

E) 6.5 A

Explanation:

Given that

L = 40 m H

C= 1.2 m F

Maximum charge on capacitor ,Q= 45 m C

The maximum current I given as

I = Q.ω

ω =angular frequency

$\omega=\dfrac{1}{\sqrt{CL}}$

By putting the values

$\omega=\dfrac{1}{\sqrt{CL}}$

$\omega=\dfrac{1}{\sqrt{40\times 10^{-3}\times 1.2 \times 10^{-3}}}$

ω = 144.33 rad⁻¹

Maximum current

I = 45 x 10⁻³ x 144.33 A

I= 6.49 A

I = 6.5 A

E) 6.5 A

A large solar panel on a spacecraft in Earth orbit produces 1.0 kW of power when the panel is turned toward the sun. What power

Mandarinka [93]

Answer:

e*P_s = 11 W

Explanation:

Given:

- e*P = 1.0 KW

- r_s = 9.5*r_e

- e is the efficiency of the panels

Find:

What power would the solar cell produce if the spacecraft were in orbit around Saturn

Solution:

- We use the relation between the intensity I and distance of light:

I_1 / I_2 = ( r_2 / r_1 ) ^2

- The intensity of sun light at Saturn's orbit can be expressed as:

I_s = I_e * ( r_e / r_s ) ^2

I_s = ( 1.0 KW / e*a) * ( 1 / 9.5 )^2

I_s = 11 W / e*a

- We know that P = I*a, hence we have:

P_s = I_s*a

P_s = 11 W / e

Hence, e*P_s = 11 W

Which of these statements is correct about Newton's first law of motion?

nexus9112 [7]

Answer:

Answer D: It describes the relationship between motion and force.

Explanation:

The answer is D because a law is something that describes something in nature, but does not try to explain how or why is occurs (that is a theory). Options B and C sound more like theories, while option A sounds like a definition. Option D is correct because a law describes without explaining.
