What is the wavelength of microwaves with a frequency of 3x10^10 Hz?​

Physics
1 answer:
RUDIKE [14]2 years ago
5 0

Answer:

0.01 m

Explanation:

Since the speed of light is 3.0×10^8 m/s

Use the equation,

Wavelength = speed ÷ frequency

Wavelength = 3.0×10^8 ÷ 3×10^10

Wavelength = 0.01m

harkovskaia [24]

Answer:

Explanation:

The energy of a photon is given by the equation E_p=h f, where h is the <em>Planck constant</em> and f the frequency of the photon. Thus, N photons of frequency f will give an energy of E_N=N h f.

We also know that frequency and wavelength are related by f=\frac{c}{\lambda}, so we have E_N=\frac{N h c}{\lambda}, where c is the <em>speed of light</em>.

We will want the number of photons, so we can write

N=\frac{\lambda E_N}{h c}

We need to know then how much energy do we have to calculate N. The equation of power is P=E/t, so for the power we have and considering 1 second we can calculate the total energy, and then only consider the 4% of it which will produce light, or better said, the N photons, which means it will be E_N.

Putting this paragraph in equations:

E_N=(\frac{4}{100})E=0.04Pt=(0.04)(100W)(1s)=4J.

And then we can substitute everything in our equation for number of photons, in S.I. and getting the values of constants from tables:

N=\frac{\lambda E_N}{h c}=\frac{(520 \times10^{-9}m) (4J)}{(6.626\times10^{-34}Js) (299792458m/s)}=1.047 \times10^{19}

. A laser beam shines along the surface of a block of transparent material (see Fig. E33.8). Half of the beam goes straight to a
Neporo4naja [7]

Answer:

n = 1,875

Explanation:

The speed of light in vacuum is constant (c) and in a material medium it is

          v = d / t

The refractive index of a material is defined by

         n = c / v

         

Let's look for the speed of light in the material, in general the length that light travels is known, this value is high, x = 1, when we place a block on the road, a small amount is lengthened by the length of the block, which in general is despised

These measurements are made on a digital oscilloscope that allows to stop the signals and measure their differences, that is, the zero is taken when the first ray arrives and the time for the second ray is measured,

         

         v = d / t

         v = 1 / 6.25 10⁻⁹

         v = 1.6 10⁸ m / s

we calculate the refractive index

        n = 3 10⁸ / 1.6 10⁸

        n = 1,875

Light bending at a boundary is caused by differences in the speed of light in different materials. The greater the difference in
olasank [31]

Answer:

How much does light bend? When light travels from air into water, it slows down, causing it to change direction slightly. This change of direction is called refraction. When light enters a more dense substance (higher refractive index), it 'bends' more towards the normal line.

When you boil potatoes, will your cooking time be reduced with vigorously boiling water instead of gently boiling water? (Direct
lara [203]

Answer:

The cooling time will not be reduced.

Explanation:

The time to cook is virtually the same in both types, vigorously and gently boiling water.

The reason cooking of spaghetti  calls for vigorously boiling water is to keep the pasta agitated so that they do not stick to one another.

The temperature of boiling water is the same for both vigorously boiling water and gently boiling water, therefore there will be little time difference in when the potatoes will cook when it is done with vigorously boiling water than when it is cooked with gently boiling water.

However cooking potatoes in vigorously boiling water may cause the water to dry up on time and the potatoes get burnt.

Which of the following are thought to be rapidly rotating neutron stars with intense magnetic fields? Choose one answer.a. pulsa
frutty [35]
<h2>Answer: Pulsars</h2>

A <u>pulsar</u> is a neutron star that emits very intense electromagnetic radiation at short and periodic intervals ( rotating really fast) due to its intense magnetic field that induces this emission.  

Nevertheless, it is important to note that all pulsars are neutron stars, but not all neutron stars are pulsars.

Let's clarify:

A neutron star, is the name given to the remains of a supernova. In itself it is the result of the gravitational collapse of a massive supergiant star after exhausting the fuel in its core.  

Neutron stars have a small size for their very high density and they rotate at a huge speed.  

However, the way to know that a pulsar is a neutron star is because of its high rotating speed.
