I think the corect answer would be C. When a police officer receives information that you are speeding in your vehicle, she is using the frequency of the wave to measure the Doppler Effect. As the speed of a vehicle increases, the greater the change of the frequency of the waves would be transmitted to the radar guns which is being used by the police officer. Doppler effect is an effect that is observed in sound and light waves as these waves move away or to the direction of the observer. This is being used in many applications like in astronomy, weather balloons, the radar guns,and for underwater researches.
Given:
The average temperature of the outer space near the earth is T_f=50.3 °F
To find:
Convert the given temperature to kelvin(K)
Explanation:
The temperature can be converted from degree Fahrenheit to kelvin using the formula,
On substituting the known values,
Final answer:
Thus 50.3 °F is equal to 283.17 K
The magnetic flux linked changes and an emf is induced. therefore,there is a current flow
Given parameters:
Frequency of the wave = 1520kHz = 1520 x 10³Hz
Unknown:
Wavelength of the radio photon = ?
Energy of the wave = ?
Solution:
The wavelength of any electromagnetic wave can found using the expression below;
C = f x ∧
Where C is the velocity of light = 3 x 10⁸m/s
f is the frequency of the wave
∧ is the wavelength
Since the unknown is ∧, input the known parameters and solve for it;
3 x 10⁸ = 1520 x 10³ x ∧
Wavelength =
Wavelength =
Wavelength = 1.97 x 10²m
ii. Energy of the wave;
Energy of a wave = hf
where h is the planck's constant = 6.63 x 10⁻³⁴ J Hz⁻¹
f is the frequency of the wave
Input the parameters and solve;
Energy of the wave = 6.63 x 10⁻³⁴ x 1.52 x 10⁶
= 10.1 x 10⁻²⁸J
The energy of this wave is 10.1 x 10⁻²⁸J
