Answer:

5.9 x 10⁻⁷m

Explanation:

Given parameters:

Frequency = 5.085 x 10¹⁴Hz

Speed of light = 3.0 x 10⁸m/s

Unknown:

Wavelength of the orange light = ?

Solution:

The wavelength can be derived using the expression below;

wavelength = $\frac{v}{f}$

v is the speed of light

f is the frequency

wavelength = $\frac{3 x 10^{8} }{5.085 x 10^{14} }$ = 5.9 x 10⁻⁷m

The intensity of the Sun's light in the vicinity of the Earth is about 1000W/m^2. Imagine a spacecraft with a mirrored square sa

NeX [460]

Explanation:

Formula to represent thrust is as follows.

F = $\frac{dP}{dt}$

= $\frac{2p}{dt}$

or, p = $\frac{E}{c}$

$\frac{p}{dt} = \frac{W}{c}$

F = $\frac{2IA}{c}$

= $\frac{2 (1000 W/m^{2})(5.5 \times 10^{3} m)^{2}}{3 \times 10^{8} m/s}$

= 201.67 N

Thus, we can conclude that the thrust is 201.67 N.

An ultrasound pulse used in medical imaging has a frequency of 5 MHz and a pulse width of 0.5 us. Ap- proximately how many osci

podryga [215]

At the frequency of 5 MHz, the period of the oscillations is 1/5meg. That's a period of 1/5 microsecond.

There are 5 full cycles in one full microsecond, and there are 2.5 full cycles in a 0.5 us pulse.

You'll have to decide for yourself how damped a pulse of 2.5 cycles is, because the parameters of the definition are corrupted in the question.

A monochromatic red laser beam emitting 1 mW at a wavelength of 638 nm is incident on a silicon solar cell. Find the following:

tia_tia [17]

Answer:

Explanation:

First we calculate the energy of the photon

E=(Planck constant × speed of light in vacuum)÷ wave length

E= $\frac{6.626*10^{34}*2.998*10^{8} }{638*10^{-9} } = 3.114*10^{49}$

Next we find the total energy per second

total energy= $1*10^{-3}W *\frac{1JS^{-1} }{1W} = 1*10^{-3} JS^{-1}$

Next we calculate the number the photon per second

= total energy ÷ energy of 1 photon

= $\frac{1*10^{-3} JS^{-1} }{3.114*10^{49} } = 3.21*10^{-53} \ photons/sec$
