What is the frequency of microwaves of wavelength 3 cm?

Physics
1 answer:
tiny-mole [99]3 years ago
4 0

Answer:

10 GHz

Explanation:

Applying,

v = λf.................... Equation 1

Where v = speed of microwave, λ = wavelength, f = frequency.

make f the subject of the equation

f = v/λ................ Equation 2

Note: Microwave is an electromagnetic wave, and all electromagnetic wave have the same speed, which is 3×10⁸ m/s

From the question,

Given: λ = 3 cm = 0.03 m

Constant; v = 3×10⁸ m/s

Substitute these values into equation 2

f = 3×10⁸/(0.03)

f = 10¹⁰ Hz

f = (10¹⁰/10⁹) GHz

f = 10 GHz

How is the energy of a photon related to its wavelength?
Delicious77 [7]

Answer:

Photons have no mass, but they have energy E = hf = hc/λ. ... The energy of each photon is inversely proportional to the wavelength of the associated EM wave. The shorter the wavelength, the more energetic is the photon, the longer the wavelength, the less energetic is the photon.

A 600kg car is at rest, and then it accelerates to 5 m/s.
uranmaximum [27]

Answer:

1. 0 J

2. 7500 J

3. 7500 J

Explanation:

From the question given above, the following data were obtained:

Mass (m) of car = 600 Kg

Initial velocity (v₁) of car = 0 m/s

Final velocity (v₂) of car = 5 m/s

Original kinetic energy (KE₁) =?

Final kinetic energy (KE₂) =?

Work used =?

1. Determination of the original kinetic energy.

Mass (m) of car = 600 Kg

Initial velocity (v₁) of car = 0 m/s

Original kinetic energy (KE₁) =?

KE₁ = ½mv₁²

KE₁ = ½ × 600 × 0²

KE₁ = 0 J

Thus, the original kinetic energy of the car is 0 J.

2. Determination of the final kinetic energy.

Mass (m) of car = 600 Kg

Final velocity (v₂) of car = 5 m/s

Final kinetic energy (KE₂) =?

KE₂ = ½mv₂²

KE₂ = ½ × 600 × 5²

KE₂ = 300 × 25

KE₂ = 7500 J

Thus, the final kinetic energy of the car is 7500 J

3. Determination of the work used.

Original kinetic energy (KE₁) = 0

Final kinetic energy (KE₂) = 7500 J

Work used =?

Work used = KE₂ – KE₁

Work used = 7500 – 0

Work used = 7500 J

A ball is thrown into the air with 100 J of kinetic energy, which is transformed to gravitational potential energy
goblinko [34]

Answer:

Air resistance

Explanation:

Despite the law of conservation of energy stating that energy can neither be created nor destroyed but can only be transformed from one state to another, some energy is usually lost in the process of transformation and its majorly attributed to frictional loss. Friction opposes normal movement hence in air, air resistance tends to reduce the original energy compared to the initial. That is why the final energy in this case is slightly less than the original energy.

Instantaneous speed is measured
VMariaS [17]

Answer:

C. At a particular instant

Explanation:

Speed is the defined as the ratio between the distance covered by an object and the time taken:

v=\frac{d}{t}

where d is the distance and t the time.

However, there are two possible measurements of speed:

- Average speed: this is the speed measured over a non-zero time interval (for example: a car moving 100 metres in 5 seconds; its average speed is

v=\frac{100 m}{5 s}=20 m/s

- Instantaneous speed: this is the speed of an object measured at a particular instant in time, so for a time interval that tends to zero. So, in the previous example, the average speed is 20 m/s but the instantaneous speed of the car at various instants of time can be different from that value.
