Explanation:

The energy of a wave is given by :

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

Where

h is Planck's constant

c is the speed of light

$\lambda$ is wavelength

Energy is inversely proportional to wavelength. Also, the relation between frequency and wavelength is inverse.

If the frequency is high, the wavelength will be shorter.

Hence, the correct options are :

Higher frequencies have shorter wavelengths.

Shorter wavelengths have lower energy.

Lower frequencies have lower energy.

A constant force of 12N is applied for 3.0s to a body initially at rest. The final velocity of the body is 6.0ms–1. What is the

sp2606 [1]

From the question,
$u = 0m {s}^{ - 1}$
$v = 6m {s}^{ - 1}$

$t = 3s$
$F=12N$

Using Impulse, the product of the constant force, F and time t equals the product of the mass of the body and change in velocity.

$Ft =m(v-u)$

$12(3.0)=m(6.0- \: 0)$
This implies that

$36.0 = 6m$
$m = \frac{36.0}{6.0}$
$\therefore \: m = 6.0kg$

You can also use the equation of linear motion,
$v = u + at$
$6 = 0 + a(3)$
$6 = 3a$
$a = \frac{6}{3}$

$a = 2 {ms}^{ - 2}$
But
$F=ma$
$12 = m(2)$
$12 = 2m$
$\frac{12}{2} = m$
$\therefore \: m = 6kg$

The spectra of most stars are dark-line spectra because ________.

pav-90 [236]

Because dark line spectra result from passing white light through ionized gasses and plasmas, which is what the atmosphere of stars are made of. These frequencies are scattered by the star's atmosphere as it leaves the surface (photosphere) of the star, and don't make it to earth.

If you had started with a larger mass, how would the half-life change?

iogann1982 [59]

Answer:

There is no change, unless your mass is somehow at the quantum level, at which the concept of half-life breaks down.

Half life is a property of the specific radioactive isotope...NOT of the initial sample's mass.

11 e) Can a conductor be given limitless charge? Obtain the equivalent resistance of several resistors if (a) they are in series

horsena [70]

Answer:

(e) no

(a) Rs = R' + R'' + R'''

(b) 1/Rp = 1/R' + 1/R'' + 1/R'''

Explanation:

11 e)

Practically it is not possible to give limitless charge to a conductor. It depends to the number of valence electrons.

(a) When the three resistances R'. R'' and R''' is in series combination.

Let they are connected to the voltage V and the current in each resistance is I.

According to Ohm's law

Voltage across R', V' = I R'

Voltage across R'', V'' = I R''

Voltage across R''', V''' = I R'''

So, let the equivalent resistance is Rs.

I Rs = I R' + I R'' + I R'''

Rs = R' + R'' + R'''

(b)

When the three resistances R'. R'' and R''' is in parallel combination.

Let they are connected to the voltage V and the current in each resistance is I', I''. I'''.

Current in R', I' = V/R'

Current in R'', I'' = V/R''

Current in R''', I''' = V/R'''

The equivalent resistance is Rp.

V/Rp = V/R' + V/ R'' + V/R'''

1/Rp = 1/R' + 1/R'' + 1/R'''
