Is the energy of a wave is calculated by squaring the frequency of the wave?

1 answer:

5 0

Nope.
Energy is directly proportional to frequency. and when you calculate energy, you multiply frequency with a constant number called "Planck's Constant"

E = hf

Hope this helps!

The speed of an electromagnetic wave traveling in a transparent nonmagnetic substance is v = 1/ κμ0ε0 , where κ is the dielectri

vladimir1956 [14]

Answer:

$v=2.24\times 10^{8}\ m/s$

Explanation:

Given that,

The speed of an electromagnetic wave traveling in a transparent nonmagnetic substance is given by :

$v=\dfrac{1}{\sqrt{k\mu_o\epsilon_o}}$

Where

k is the dielectric constant of the substance.

v is the speed of light in water

$c=\dfrac{1}{\sqrt{1.78\times 4\pi \times 10^{-7}\times 8.85\times 10^{-12}}}$

$v=2.24\times 10^{8}\ m/s$

So, the speed of light in water is $2.24\times 10^{8}\ m/s$

A 4-kg toy car with a speed of 5 m/s collides head-on with a stationary 1-kg car. After the collision, the cars are locked toget

mihalych1998 [28]

Kinetic energy lost in collision is 10 J.

<u>Explanation:</u>

Given,

Mass, $m_{1}$ = 4 kg

Speed, $v_{1}$ = 5 m/s

$m_{2}$ = 1 kg

$v_{2}$ = 0

Speed after collision = 4 m/s

Kinetic energy lost, K×E = ?

During collision, momentum is conserved.

Before collision, the kinetic energy is

$\frac{1}{2} m1 (v1)^2 + \frac{1}{2} m2(v2)^2$

By plugging in the values we get,

$KE = \frac{1}{2} * 4 * (5)^2 + \frac{1}{2} * 1 * (0)^2\\\\KE = \frac{1}{2} * 4 * 25 + 0\\\\$

K×E = 50 J

Therefore, kinetic energy before collision is 50 J

Kinetic energy after collision:

$KE = \frac{1}{2} (4 + 1) * (4)^2 + KE(lost)$

$KE = 40J + KE(lost)$

Since,

Initial Kinetic energy = Final kinetic energy

50 J = 40 J + K×E(lost)

K×E(lost) = 50 J - 40 J

K×E(lost) = 10 J

Therefore, kinetic energy lost in collision is 10 J.
