Answer:

5.71×10¹⁴ Hz

Explanation:

Applying,

v = λf................. Equation 1

Where v = speed of the electromagnetic radiation, λ = wavelength of the electromagnetic radiation, f = frequency

make f the subject of the equation

f = v/λ............. Equation 2

From the question,

Given: λ = 525 nm = 5.25×10⁻⁷ m,

Constant: Speed of electromagnetic wave (v) = 3.0×10⁸ m/s

Substitute these values into equation 2

f = (3.0×10⁸)/(5.25×10⁻⁷)

f = 5.71×10¹⁴ Hz

Hence the frequency of light is 5.71×10¹⁴ Hz

If the diameter of a radar dish is doubled, what happens to its resolving power assuming that all other factors remain unchanged
kirill115 [55]

Answer:

      θ’ = θ₀ / 2

we see that the resolution angle is reduced by half

Explanation:

The resolving power of a radar is given by diffraction, for which we will use the Rayleigh criterion for the resolution of two point sources, they are considered resolved if the maximum of diffraction of one coincides with the first minimum of the other.

The first minimum occurs for m = 1, so the diffraction equation of a slit remains

        a sin θ = λ

in general, the diffraction patterns occur at very small angles, so

        sin θ = θ

          θ = λ / a

in the case of radar we have a circular aperture and the equation must be solved in polar coordinates, which introduces a numerical constant.

        θ = 1.22 λ /a

In this exercise we are told that the opening changes

         a’ = 2 a

we substitute

          θ ‘= 1.22  λ / 2a

          θ' = (1.22 λ / a) 1/2

          θ’ = θ₀ / 2

we see that the resolution angle is reduced by half

Ultraviolet radiation is dangerous because it has a high enough energy to damage skin cells. UV radiation is called ultraviolet
BabaBlast [244]

Answer: smaller

Ultraviolet radiation has broad range of wavelengths, higher number means greater risk of exposure to UV rays that can be dangerous to skin cells. Sunlight is the main source of electromagnetic radiation and it is transmitted in different wavelengths known as electromagnetic spectrum. This spectrum is divided into several regions in order of decreasing wavelength and increasing energy and frequency. UV radiation has frequency and energy that is higher than purple light or violet radiation and the wavelength of ultraviolet radiation is smaller than violet radiation.

An object is hung from a spring balance attached to the ceiling of an elevator cab. The balance reads 65 N when the cab is stand
lana66690 [7]

Answer:

(A) Reading will be 65 N

(B) Net force on the elevator will be 49.076 N    

Explanation:

We have given the balance force = 65 N

Acceleration due to gravity g=9.8m/sec^2

We know that W=mg

So 65=m\times 9.8

m = 6.632 kg

(a) In first case as the as the speed is constant so the force on the elevator will be 65 N

(B) In second case as the elevator is decelerating at a rate of 2.4m/sec^2

So net acceleration = 9.8-2.4=7.4m/sec^2

So net force on elevator will be = m× net acceleration = 6.632×7.4 = 49.076 N
