1. Frequency:
The frequency of a light wave is given by:
where
is the speed of light
is the wavelength of the wave
In this problem, we have light with wavelength
Substituting into the equation, we find the frequency:
2. Period:
The period of a wave is equal to the reciprocal of the frequency:
The frequency of this light wave is (found in the previous exercise), so the period is:
Answer:
Pressure
Explanation:
The measure of how much force is applied to an object from gas particle bouncing into it is called pressure.
Pressure is defined as the force per unit area on a body.
Mathematically;
Pressure =
The pressure of a gas is the combined force with which gas molecules bombard a unit area of the wall of the container. It is the sum of all tiny pushes on the wall of the container.
Various units of pressure are atm, mmHg, torr, pascal e.t.c
Answer:
a) 0.658 seconds
b) 0.96 inches
Explanation:
Time taken by the ball to reach the highest point is 0.14 seconds
The highest point reached by the snowball above its release point is 0.315 ft
Total height the snowball will fall is 4+0.315 = 4.315 ft
The snowball will reach the bank at 0.14+0.518 = 0.658 seconds after it has been thrown
The snowball goes 0.5-0.42 = 0.08 ft = 0.96 inches
Answer:
423nm
Explanation:
To find the unknown wavelength you take into account the distance y to the maximum central fringe, for light fringes and dark fringes.
- for light fringes:
- for dark fringes:
The third-order bright fringe (m= 3) of wavelength A coincides with the fourth dark fringe (m=4) of the wavelength B. Hence you have that:
hence, the wavelength B is 423nm
